Bantam - High Power Density Analog Torque Amplifier

Copley Controls announces the Bantam analog amplifier module for torque control of brushless and brush motors. PCB-mounted with solderless connectors, the Bantam is a highly cost-effective OEM solution for multi-axis systems.

ServoTube Module - 10 Times Faster Than Ball Screw

Copley Controls releases its new Servotube Module for linear drive actuation in pick and place gantry and general materials handling applications.  The new Servotube direct drive tubular linear motor module is a cost effective solution for high speed, flexible applications replacing the need for belt drive or ball screw systems.  In typical configurations, the Servotube Module is 10 times faster than traditional ball screw systems with higher reliability.

Accelnet R20 Ruggedized for Harsh Environments

Copley Controls has developed a hardened version of the versatile panel-mounting Accelnet servo drive to meet both military and extreme industrial environments. The drive’s extended temperature, humidity, vibration and shock ranges provide added security in non-extreme applications. Designated Series R20, the hardened drives provide networking and stand-alone motion control for brush and brushless motors, and direct drive linear motors and actuators.

Stepnet AC Powered from 115/230 VAC

StepNet™AC microstepping drives run directly on 115/230 AC enabling high speed performance and eliminating the DC power supply. StepNet™AC can operate stepper motors as brushless servo motors taking full advantage of the step motor's high torque density while delivering quiet, smooth operation without stalling or lost steps. Sophisticated control modes are available including indexing, point-to-point, cam operation and gearing. Measuring 146 x 119 x 55 mm, Stepnet AC drives deliver 7A peak current.

Ruggedized Xenus R10 for Harsh Environments

Copley has extended the proven XENUS offline servo drive’s temperature, humidity, vibration and shock ranges to meet military COTS (Commercial Of The Shelf) requirements, including Mil Standard #810. The hardened drives, designated Series R10, can now be used to control rotary and linear motors/actuators in military applications and extreme industrial environments.

Miniature Linear Actuator

Copley Controls broadens its line of direct drive ServoTube linear actuators with the highly compact Model STA11. The new ultra-slim actuator maintains ServoTube’s superior force, acceleration and bandwidth, and most significantly, enables mounting on 28 mm centers for multi-actuator innovations. STA11’s built-in solid-state position sensor provides ±12 microns repeatability, eliminating the traditional external encoder and simplifying actuator installation.

High Power Density Xenus Micro Drive

Copley Controls announces a compact but very powerful panel-mounting Xenus Micro servo amplifier family for controlling AC brushless and DC brush motors. Designated the XSJ family, Micro Xenus amplifiers provide an unprecedented range of motion control modes. Control versatility enables users to stock a single amplifier type for many different stand-alone and network-controlled applications.
