At two times the standard industry speed for digital current loop update rates, the new MaxPlus FLX Series amplifiers are the industry’s fastest. Featuring a 25 micro-second loop update rate and low current noise capabilities, this multi-patented, flexible family of digital drives offers increased machine throughput and productivity.

The Single-Axis digital drives are capable of simple torque or velocity loop modes or point to-point position loop mode including pulse and direction control. They offer continuous output current from 3 to 35 Amps RMS.

The Dual-Axis amplifiers are packaged in one enclosure and share common circuitry such as the DSP, DSP support circuits, power supply and other power stage circuits. This extremely cost-efficient use of space and technology translates to a substantial cost savings of approximately 35% or more in multi-axis applications. Available in a variety of power levels with up to 230 VAC line input voltages, the dual-axis models range from 3/3 to 25/12 Amps RMS of continuous output current.

Based on third generation digital technology, the stand-alone, fully digital amplifiers also feature an intelligent drive option (MP-FLXi) for Single- and Dual-Axis coordinated motion control that’s built directly into the drives.
