EL8-EC1000F Servo Drive

About

About EL8-EC1000F Servo Drive

EL8-EC1000F is a one-kilowatt EtherCAT servo drive for 220-volt AC motion systems. It controls position, velocity and torque and supports electronic gearing, homing, cyclic synchronous modes and probe inputs for coordinated machinery and robot axes.

Configurable digital and analogue I/O connect the drive with sensors and machine controls. An internal regenerative resistor absorbs braking energy in supported applications, while automated tuning functions simplify commissioning. Safe Torque Off is rated to SIL 3. Leadshine pairs the drive with compatible servo motors and configuration software.
