Aerotech Automation1 XL4s High-Speed, Single-Phase Linear Servo Drive

Superior Control for High-Speed Applications

A high-performance linear amplifier for single-phase motors, the

XL4s digital drive eliminates non-linearities common to PWM

amplifiers. It offers deterministic behavior, auto-identification and

easy software setup. Advanced features—including full state

feed-forward, 200 kHz servo rates and look-ahead-based velocity

control—allow you to achieve industry-leading settling times, long

term thermal stability and sub-micron-level tracking accuracy.

Thanks to an industry-leading servo rate of 200 kHz, you’ll see

better tracking performance and part quality at high speeds in

applications such as fast-tool servos, high-dynamic optical

focusing axes and high-speed pick-and-place machines.

Thanks to an industry-leading servo rate of 200 kHz, the XL4s delivers

better tracking performance and part quality at high speeds in

applications such as fast-tool servos, high-dynamic optical focusing axes

and high-speed pick-and-place machines.

Unlike other fast tool servo controllers, the XL4s can be panel-mounted

in a machine enclosure, resulting in a smaller machine footprint and

requiring less overall floor space.

A multi-core, double-precision floating point DSP controls the digital PID.

System configuration is performed using all software-settable parameters,

including control-loop gains and system safety functions. Optimized to

control single-phase motors or voice-coil axes, the XL4s has an encoder

interpolation feature, dedicated analog and digital I/O, and separate power

connections for motor and control supply voltages.
