Servo drives and servo motors

Servo drives and servo motors - the foundations of modern automation

In the world of industry and automation   servo drives and servo motors play a key role . They are the heart of many production systems. They provide precise motion control in machines and devices. Their applications are extremely wide. They include industrial robots, CNC machines or assembly lines. At Onninen, we understand their importance perfectly. That is why we offer a wide selection of these components. Our portfolio includes the leading manufacturers of the industry.

A variety of servo drives and servo motors in the Onninen offer

Our range of servo drives is very extensive. It includes both   compact units for small applications as well as   high-performance industrial systems . AC and DC models with different power are available. We have rotary and linear servo motors. We also offer a full range of accessories. These include encoders, brakes and gears. Our offer also includes complete servo sets. They consist of a motor, controller and cabling. This solution significantly facilitates system integration.

Our range includes renowned global brands. We also offer our own brand products. These include Onnline and FXA. They provide excellent value for money.   Our own brands undergo rigorous testing . This guarantees their reliability in everyday use.

Key aspects of selecting servo drives and servo motors

The right choice of servo drive is of great importance. It affects the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire system. Many factors must be considered when selecting one. Here are the most important ones:

• Required power and torque
• Speed and acceleration
• Positioning accuracy
• Working environment (temperature, humidity, etc.)
• Communication interfaces
• Compatibility with existing control system

At Onninen, we help you choose the optimal solution. Our specialists analyze the specifics of the client's application. On this basis, they recommend the best products.   We often come across questions about selecting servo drives . Many customers are not sure which model will be the best. In such situations, we always provide expert advice.

We recently completed a project for a large packaging manufacturer. They needed precise control of a film cutting machine. We proposed a complete servo kit. It included a motor with an absolute encoder and a controller with advanced motion functions. This solution provided excellent cutting accuracy. At the same time, it increased the efficiency of the entire production line.

Practical applications of servo drives and servo motors

Servo drives and servo motors are used in many industries. In the food industry, they control packaging machines. In the automotive industry, they drive welding robots. In the semiconductor industry, they provide precise positioning. Here are some specific examples:

• Labeling machines - require fast and accurate movement
• Industrial robots - need dynamic axis control
• Internal transport systems - use servo drives for precise positioning
• CNC machines - servo motors ensure smooth tool movement

In our daily practice we see a growing demand   on these components. Companies are modernizing their production lines. They are striving for greater automation and precision. Servo drives play a key role in this. They offer high dynamics and positioning accuracy. At the same time, they are energy-efficient and easy to integrate.

Our experience shows that   customers are increasingly looking for comprehensive solutions . That is why we offer not only servo drives. We also supply compatible PLC controllers and HMI panels. This approach ensures full system integration. This simplifies the implementation process and subsequent service.

When reorganizing production lines, we most often encounter two scenarios. The first is replacing older drives with modern servo drives. The second is adding new axes of motion to existing machines. In both cases, compatibility with the current infrastructure is key. Our solutions ensure smooth integration with various control systems.

Onninen recommends using servo drives with advanced safety functions. More and more companies are paying attention to this aspect. Modern servo drives offer functions such as STO (Safe Torque Off) or SS1 (Safe Stop 1). They increase the safety of machine operators. At the same time, they simplify the design of safety systems.

Many customers ask us about the diagnostic capabilities of servo drives. This is an important aspect in the context of Industry 4.0. Modern servo drives offer advanced monitoring functions. They provide data on temperature, load or energy consumption. This allows for predictive maintenance. This reduces the risk of unplanned downtime.

At Onninen, we also offer servo drive training. This includes selection, configuration and programming. Our experts share their practical knowledge. This helps customers to fully utilize the capabilities of these advanced devices.

In summary, servo drives and servo motors are key components of modern automation. At Onninen, we provide not only a wide range of products. We also offer expert advice and technical support. We invite you to contact our specialists. They will help you choose the optimal solution for your specific application.
