Integrated motor/drive for single axis motion

01 November 2007

The SIEIDrive KFM 05 is a compact integrated ac inverter and motor, aimed at medium precision motion and speed control applications where full servomotor based systems would be unnecessarily expensive.

The integrated design—it includes the AC motor, drive, and encoder feedback all in one package—allows extremely straightforward installation with minimal wiring. The fully integrated design includes a complement of 24 V opto-isolated axis I/O which can be used to trigger pre-programmed positions, vary acceleration/deceleration, and change speeds. External speed control and other analogue functions are possible using on-board analogue inputs.
