The new Q-Drive intelligent servo drive from Quin Systems is claimed to reduce waste dramatically in converting, printing, embossing and packaging applications. It does this, the company states, by making it easy to implement registration control systems which can operate at in excess of 100m/min with an accuracy approaching ±0.1mm – not just at full speed but also while running up to speed.
The stable and accurate operation during run-up said to be offered by Q-Drives means that machine starting and stopping no longer leads to the production of large amounts of scrap material. The result is not only significant savings in material costs, but also increased productivity.
Available in single and three-phase versions with ratings up to 30A, the drives are built around a high performance high bandwidth DSP controller. This is complemented by a separate 32-bit processor which supports full motion and logic control, along with analogue and digital inputs and outputs.
The drives can be used in conjunction with incremental or absolute encoders, as well as resolvers. For applications requiring the highest levels of accuracy, SinCoder/SinCos feedback devices are also supported. These offer a resolution at least 16 times better than that offered by a typical standard resolver, says Quin.
