Versatile motion control drives productivity

nnnn

Today's automation systems must provide

nnnn

the flexibility and scalability needed to keep

nnnn

pace with changing market requirements

nnnn

while delivering higher speed, accuracy

nnnn

and reliability to boost line productivity and

nnnn

asset utilization. High-performance motion

nnnn

control is crucial to enhancing machine

nnnn

quality and performance.

nnnn

VersaMotion servos are a compact, high

nnnn

performance family of servo drives and

nnnn

motors for small- to medium-sized power

nnnn

motion applications. High-efficiency

nnnn

electronic servos reduce energy costs

nnnn

compared to mechanical or fluid power

nnnn

motion solutions while increasing accuracy,

nnnn

system reliability and machine cycle rates.

nnnn

GE's VersaMotion servo drives and motors

nnnn

provide flexible solutions based on specific

nnnn

application requirements. The result is

nnnn

higher productivity, reduced downtime

nnnn

of critical assets and lower total cost of

nnnn

system ownership.

nnnn

Performance

nnnn

The VersaMotion servo motors offer a high

nnnn

level of performance in a compact package

nnnn

and range from 100 W to 3 kW. To optimize

nnnn

performance, these motors are matched

nnnn

with the VersaMotion amplifiers. Advanced

nnnn

features such as dual control modes,

nnnn

S-curve acceleration, anti-resonance filters

nnnn

and gain switching enhance performance

nnnn

for demanding applications.

nnnn

Flexibility

nnnn

VersaMotion servos offer the flexibility

nnnn

to optimize your motion solution based

nnnn

on application requirements. Configure

nnnn

solutions to your exact performance

nnnn

requirements and budget. These versatile

nnnn

amplifiers support simple standalone posi-

nnnn

tioning capability using up to eight stored

nnnn

motion profiles that can be changed over

nnnn

the Modbus interface enabling easy recipe

nnnn

management from an HMI.

nnnn

For simple machines requiring only point-to-

nnnn

point position control the positions can be

nnnn

easily configured using the built-in teach func-

nnnn

tion and no high level controller is required.

For more complex applications, multiple

nnnn

amplifiers can be electronically geared

nnnn

together or connected to any motion

nnnn

controller using an analog or pulse

nnnn

command interface. The serial interface

nnnn

supports multi-drop system configura-

nnnn

tions and Modbus communication protocol

nnnn

enabling dynamic changing of system

nnnn

parameters such as motion settings, gear

nnnn

ratios, tuning parameters or operating

nnnn

mode to respond to changing machine

nnnn

conditions or new production runs.

nnnn

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

nnnn

A built-in touchpad and display provide

nnnn

convenient access to configuration param-

nnnn

eters and system information eliminating

nnnn

the need to connect a PC for simple

nnnn

changes. Once optimized, drive parameters

nnnn

can be saved to a file for easy cloning for

nnnn

serial machine production, saving valuable

nnnn

engineering time.

nnnn

GE Intelligent Platforms is committed

nnnn

to delivering sustainable results for our

nnnn

customers.
