IMTS 2014 Conference: New Trends with Servomotor Encoders and Cables

Chicago – Make plans to attend the IMTS 2014 Conferences to learn about New Trends with Servomotor Encoders and Cables.

 

DATE: Thursday, September 11 from 3:15 PM - 4:10 PM   ROOM: W-193B

 

SPEAKER: Craig Nelson, Product Marketing Manager for SINAMICS, Siemens Industry, Inc.

 

With Motion Control being added to all areas and levels of machines, it is becoming common place to see more and more servos in the latest designs. Increased cost position, both upfront and operational, along with the leapfrog in usability of servos, have been major drives in this adaption outside of the obvious productivity benefits. In this session we will look at emerging trends revolving around cabling and encoders for servomotors that are leading this innovation. 

 

We will first look at using field replaceable encoders for servomotors which have greatly improved the on-site serviceability. Next, we will discuss benefits of using digital communications for encoder signals and built-in electronic type plate technology, which has provided plug-and-play commissioning for servo systems. This discussion would not be complete without exploring the single cable approach for both encoder and motor power, and what this emerging trend will mean for future machine designs.

 

The educational and informative conferences run Sept. 8-11, 2014 in the West Building, Level 1. To register for this or any session, visit www.imts.com/education/imtsconference.html.
