MINAS A6 Multi – 400V servo drive system

The new MINAS A6 Multi 400V servo drive system was developed specifically for the European market. With a slim, 50 mm wide book-size format, each drive controller can control two axes, which reduces the space required in the control cabinet by as much as 64% compared to standard drives. The EtherCAT interface guarantees network integration, and with eighteen integrated safety functions, the MINAS A6 Multi complies with SIL3 safety guidelines. The newly launched 400V servo drive system offers motors in the power output range of 400W to 5kW, with additional ratings to follow.
