Modular Multi-Axis Programmable Motion Control
Servo Drive (MSD)

A whole new level of machine performance, precision and processing speed

Higher performance machines can mean a real advantage in productivity and profitability.

The Moog Modular Multi-axis Programmable Motion Control Servo Drive—also known as MSD—answers the call for a new generation of servo drives that provides the highest levels of dynamic response, smooth performance and application versatility.

MSD includes modular servo drives powered by a common shared power supply and a motion controller to coordinate the motion across multiple axes.

Benefits

  • Higher machine productivity - From lowering cycle times in an injection molding machine, to increasing feed rates in a metal forming press, MSD delivers a significant increase in machine output.
  • Improved machine precision - More precise motion control results in higher accuracy, virtually no part variations and reduced scrap.
  • Higher machine flexibility - The modularity of the MSD coupled with the ability to tailor customer-specific solutions provides the perfect flexible platform for different machine types, putting them at the heart of today's leading-edge designs.

 

 

Specifications

  • Current Rating

    Servo Drives from 4-170 A with the option of either the classic ACmains connection or a DC feed with a central feeder unit

  • Size

    Compact size. Suitable for 300 mm [11.8 in] switch cabinet depth, extremely small housing width, for the best possible switch cabinet usage

  • Communication Protocols

    High-speed communication via field bus connection to a wide range of control systems (including EtherCAT, CANopen, PROFIBUS, SERCOS among others)

  • Feedback Devices

    Support for simultaneous feedback from 3 encoders ensures precise positioning capability extending from resolver to sin/cos single turn and multi turn encoders

  • Safety

    Built in functional safety as per EN 61508, EN 62061, EN ISO13849-1, IEC 61800-5-2, personnel safety directly into the drive controller

  • PLC Functionality

    Built in PLC as per IEC61131 provides functions adapted to the application with direct access to the drive controller peripherals, single and multi axis operating units

  • Software

    Tailored software packages with motion control functionality for every application
