SEW-EURODRIVE has announced the local assembly of its new CMP servo range, providing Australian industry a greater range with
shorter delivery times and greater availability.
Compact and light-weight, the CMP servo series is founded on advanced rare earth magnetic materials and cooling fin-free aluminium
housing. Precision engineering ensures that the CMP servo provides premium torque-to-weight ratios and positioning accuracy.
Offering torque ratings ranging from 0.5 to 7.1Nm, the CMP series is presented in three distinct frame sizes and eight models
in speed ratings of 3000, 4,500 and 6,000rpm. All models will be available in Australia virtually off-the-shelf.
SEW-Eurodrive’s new CMP servo assembly facility is located in its Melbourne-based headquarters. “The new facility permits
us to provide an unrivalled level of servo system supply, service and support to the Australian market,” said SEW-Eurodrive
Strategic Marketing and Product Manager, Darren Klonowski. “The combined CMP and CM assembly facilities allow us to offer
quick turnaround times on servo systems. That’s the complete servo system--servo drive, gear unit, servo controller and cables--on
the customer’s site and ready to install.”
Uniquely, both the new CMP and existing CM servos are complemented by SEW-Eurodrive’s wide range of high-precision and standard
gear units. “In-house engineering of the servo drive/gear unit pair provides huge end-user advantages,” said Klonowksi. “It
not only permits fast turnaround of the complete servo assemblies, but allows direct mounting of the gear units. As a result,
the complete servo assemblies can be built up without mounting adaptors or couplings. This ensures that the servo units are
as short and compact as possible, achieve minimal backlash performance, and can be assembled quickly and easily.”
The new servos boast premium dynamic characteristics, which stem from their particularly low inherent mass moment of rotor
inertia. In addition they offer a particularly high ‘four times rated torque’ overload capacity, and cogging levels minimised
to below two per cent. Whisper quiet, the CMP servos retain emitted sound levels to between 55 and 75dBA at all speeds.
The CMP servo series is provided with ‘SM’ plug-connectors (both for power, and resolver/encoder connections), ensuring speedy
on-site installation and servicing when combined with pre-manufactured cable assemblies.
An extensive range of options is available with the CMP servo. The series is provided with a robust resolver as standard,
or may be fitted with a precision ‘Hiperface’ absolute encoder as an option. A selection of high-performance electro-mechanical
brakes are available, as are optional forced cooling fans, which increase the servo motor’s static torque. The units are also
available with an optional square flange, to allow direct machine mounting.
The CMP servo plus gear unit--coupled with SEW-Eurodrive’s advanced MOVIDRIVE ‘B’ application inverter--provides the complete
end-to-end servo solution for precision positioning applications.
The new Australian-assembled CMP servo series was unveiled at SEW-Eurodrive’s stand at National Manufacturing Week 2008 and
is now available to the Australian market. For more information call 1300 SEW AUS (1300 739 287) or contact us.
