Market-leading Apogee & Kepler PWM servo drives
The most demanding semiconductor applications need motors with servo drives that have fast linear output and minimum distortion. This used to require linear amplifiers, but reducing switching noise to very low levels allows the use of PWM servo drives. That means versatile control and increased system efficiency to reduce thermal load.
Our Apogee & Kepler are industry-leading servo drives that can move loads to within a few nanometres at fast, constant velocity. They have excellent linearity, up to 24-bit (for Apogee) current sensing resolution for accurate feedback, and ultra-low noise outputs with very low output current ripple and jitter. Internal output filtering and EMI protection means the drive can operate with a minimum of external components.
Both are intelligent PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) drives with unrivaled 200 kHz switching frequency for single- and three-phase motors, and single- and dual-axis drives. Their performance used to be exclusive to linear amplifiers, but the negligible switching noise now matches linear drive performance.
They can be part of a synchronized EtherCAT® network as slaves. With dual loop feedback (for both motor and load position), the motor drives have incremental, analog, Hall, and absolute encoder support. They work with any motor type including brushless, brush, linear, and voice coils. A dedicated Ethernet output has advanced diagnostic capabilities.
All of our drives come with our versatile PMP (Prodrive Motion Platform). PMP offers powerful real-time control of centralized, distributed, and hybrid systems. It also ensures fast and effortless commissioning and debugging. Combined with one of our multi-axis controllers, they interface with Matlab® and Simulink® code generation to apply custom control-loops models that perfectly match the application.
