March 19, 2019

ADVANCED Motion Controls has announced the FlexPro family, their new premium digital servo drive offering. Designed to expand the capabilities of their product selection in terms of performance, power density, and flexibility, FlexPro is starting off with the newly available FE060-25-EM servo drive.

The FE060-25-EM is approximately 1.50 x 1.00 x 0.61 inches (38.1 x 25.4 x 16.0 mm) in size. This tiny drive runs on 10-55 volts DC, communicates over EtherCAT, supports incremental encoder and BISS C-Mode feedback, and delivers peak and continuous currents of 50 amps and 25 amps respectively. Also available is the FD060-25-EM, a version of the FE060-25-EM soldered to a developer board for test and configuration purposes. Both versions are available for purchase now!

The FE060-25-EM and the FlexPro family are made possible by their new IMPACT architecture. IMPACT stands for Integrated Motion Platform And Control Technology. It’s this new architecture that allows FlexPro drives to fit into tight spaces and still deliver the impressive power and performance to your robot joints, AGV traction wheels, or any other application. In addition, the advanced processing and storage capabilities ensure that drives with IMPACT are more intelligent and operationally flexible than ever before.

IMPACT isn’t exclusive to FlexPro drives; This new architecture can be used for their custom products too.

The FE060-25-EM is only the first of many FlexPro drives to come; higher power and expanded network options are on the way. The motion control industry continues to evolve and expand every year presenting new demands. The FlexPro family and IMPACT are their answer to those demands.

ADVANCED Motion Controls Takes Servo Drives to New Heights (and Depths) with FlexPro Extended Environment Product Line

Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.

Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.
