Micro-Sized Servo Drive
Advanced Motion Control
Systems (Camarillo, CA) has released
the FM060-60C-RM, the
RS485/RS232 version of
the machine embedded
60-amp continuous micro-sized
FlexPro servo
drive. The servo drives have the
most compact form and highest power density.
Despite its tiny 38 × 25 mm footprint, this serial
communication servo drive features a 60-amp
continuous current rating. This ensures that
the cobot arm or mobile robot wheel will have
the torque it needs to get the job done without
adding any additional bulk. Serving as an alternative
to our PCB mount FlexPro drives, the
flying leads and Molex connectors on this drive
allow it to be installed just about anywhere in
your system. The drive also features a USB-C
port so you can easily connect to a PC for configuration.
Its key features also include RS485
and RS232 communication, machine-embedded
form factor, 60 amps continuous/peak
current output, 10-55 VDC input, and size 50.8
× 25.4 × 22.1 mm (2.00 × 1.00 × 0.87 in).

HV600 HVAC Drives
Yaskawa America (Waukegan, IL), has announced an expansion
to its HV600 family of HVAC Drives. The new UL
Type 12 Narrow HV600 Drive packages are best suited for
HVAC applications. It offers UL Type 12 Protection without
having to mount large, heavy, and expensive enclosures in
your buildings. The addition of an integrated disconnect
switch to the standard HV600 IP55/UL Type 12 drive saves time, money, and space during drive
installation. The redundant drive packages provide the benefits of two HV600 drives in one
enclosure for applications where you need critical VFD back up for your system. Featuring
BACnet/IP, the MPE option card enables connection of HV600 and Z1000U Matrix Drives with
the most popular building automation networks. Yaskawa offers the HV600 in a variety of drive
and drive packages that meet UL Type 12 standards, making them the perfect choice for applications
like cooling towers, data centers, and mechanical room.

LogiDrive System
The complete LogiDrive™ system by NORD (Waunakee, IL)
provides a standardized, energy-efficient, and service-friendly
solution tailored specifically for intralogistics and airport technology.
LogiDrive incorporates IE4 and IE5+ synchronous motors
to effectively minimize overall costs during service life,
achieve considerably greater efficiency even at partial loads and
low speeds, and provide a fast return on investment. The modular
system reduces spare parts inventory and provides a service friendly solution through plugand-play
technology enabling replacement of individual components to maintain high system
availability. The LogiDrive system includes high-efficiency two-stage bevel gear unit, IE4 or IE5+
synchronous motor, decentralized variable frequency drive, power plug connector, M12 connectors
incremental encoder, pre-assembled cables, high-overload capacity, and standardized hollow
shaft diameters.

Machine Tool Breakage Detector
HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION (Schaumburg, IL) has introduced
the new TD 110 Tool Breakage Detector. Providing contact-free
inspection of drill bits and end mills, it can determine
whether a tool is broken off by more than 2mm as it passes within
a machine tool, yielding significant time and money savings.The
TD 110 tool breakage sensor can be placed in the work envelope
so that it is fast and easy to reach during the tool change. The inductive sensor can detect tools
as they pass by while they are spinning at their operational speed. Thanks to its rapid scanning
technology, even very small tools made of HSS steel and carbide are detected. The breakage
sensor can then generate either a floating or an HTL switching signal and the machine control
can evaluate it via standard instruction sets. These signals/outputs can be used to connect to a
HEIDENHAIN TNC control or a PLC or to any other IOs of nearly every CNC control manufacturer.
In addition, an LED signals whether a tool has been flagged.

Position-Sensitive Detectors
Advanced Photonix (Camarillo, CA), a division of OSI
Optoelectronics, has introduced a high-sensitivity, high-accuracy,
2-mm diameter Position-Sensing Detector (PSD)
with spectral response from the visible out to the near and
short-wave infrared (NIR-SWIR) wavelengths. The innova+1.201.343.8983

tive APX-PSD-XVInG-3.1 is a low noise PSD with sensitivity from 400 nm to 1700 nm and
high-position detection accuracy. APX's 400-1700 nm PSD features 2kΩ inter-electrode resistance,
high shunt resistance, low capacitance, and 20 µm position detection error. The highly
sensitive PSDs are conveniently housed in a hermetically sealed TO-5 package or a 5 mm by
3.6 mm surface mount ceramic package with an anti-reflective window, making them suitable
for integration into a variety of systems. The PSD is specially designed for Extended Visible
InGaAs position-sensing applications in communication and defense for alignment, nulling,
centering, targeting, and guidance systems.
