Today, Metronix launches a family of intelligent servomotor drives offering machine builders a platform to boost the performance of automation while also decreasing costs. The new ARS 2000 SE drives combine advanced features including integrated functional safety, universal encoder interfacing and a peak current capability that is up to twice that of many similar drives on the market - allowing much faster acceleration. At the same time, the drives reduce costs by providing only the features that a significant majority of system builders want - according to a survey of users.
