Aerotech, a global leader in precision motion control and automation, has launched its new Automation1 XA4 and iXA4 PWM servo drives. These compact, economical single- and multi-axis panel-mount servo motor drives include complete motion controller and I/O expansion options. Future options will include four-axis versions, I/O expansion and DC motor power.

“The new Automation1 XA4 servo drive family is a game changer in motion control,” said Daniel Hong, Control Product Manager at Aerotech. “These powerful, compact drives open up new possibilities for machine builders and automation solution providers. With options from one to four axes, the XA4 and iXA4 redefine precision motion control, bringing Aerotech’s quality and Precision is achievable in every industry.

The simplified dual-axis XA4 brings precise, powerful control of multiple axes of motion within the same machine footprint. Deploy XA4 servo drives using the user-friendly Automation1 motion control platform to achieve faster build times, higher quality and higher throughput in shorter development times. It communicates with Automation1’s PC and drive-based controller products via the HyperWire motion bus, supports multiple feedback device types, and includes onboard memory for high-speed data acquisition and process control.

iXA4 brings the precision of Automation1 to multi-axis motion, reducing machine footprint and eliminating the need for an industrial PC. Control 12 HyperWire motion axes and perform up to 9 user tasks on the embedded Automation1 controller. As a driver, iXA4 supports multiple feedback device types and includes onboard memory for high-speed data acquisition and process control.
