Main features ─ when installed in stationary equipment
Can be installed anywhere regardless of location
The mini driver adopts a compact design that can be installed in small gaps. As long as 2 screws can be installed directly on the equipment.
No need for external detectors, saving wiring
The AZ series completely eliminates the need for external detectors and wiring related to the external detectors, which contributes to the reduction in size and weight of the equipment. Also, the work time required for wiring can be reduced.
The AZ series is equipped with a battery-free mechanical absolute encoder [ABZO encoder].
Even if the power supply is stopped suddenly or blocked due to a power failure during the positioning operation, the position information can be maintained.
Even if the power supply is stopped suddenly or blocked due to a power failure during the positioning operation, the position information can be maintained.
Unified management of the entire equipment through the network
Can be controlled directly from the network. Unified management of equipment information helps save wiring.
● When the RS-485 communication type is used together with a separately sold network converter (Gateway) , it can be controlled via CC-Link and MECHATROLINK.
Increase the freedom of driver setting with a connection cable with a maximum length of 10m
Cables for connection between motors and drivers can be selected from 0.5m/1m/3m/5m/10m. When the distance between the motor and the driver is short, the cable less than 1m can be selected, but when the distance between the motor and the driver is long, the cable more than 3m can be used.
