Description
New Era In Servo Control
Composer2, Software in the Loop Powerful Drive’s Capability
Ultra Compact, A Complete 4 Axis,
Motion Control System, 4 X 16A Continuous, 400VDC
The Platinum String Quad (Quartet) is an integrated solution delivering up to 5500W per axis and 10400W in total of continuous power in a compact package (224 x 133 x 80 mm (8.82″ x 5.24″ x 3.15″) for the Fins+Fan model, and 224 x 133 x 38.3 mm (8.82″ x 5.24″ x 1.51″) for the L-shape model).
This advanced, high power density servo drive provides top performance, functional safety, advanced networking, as well as a fully featured motion controller and local intelligence.
The Platinum series was designed to meet the evolving needs of OEM designers for smarter, smaller, faster servo, with higher functionality and ease-of-use. Platinum drives aim to assist machine and robot manufacturers in creating better machines through both superior motion-control and utmost safety.
