ArmorKinetix® Distributed Servo Drives: A New Era of On-Machine™ Motion Control

ArmorKinetix® Distributed Servo Drives usher in a new era of On-Machine™ motion control. This platform delivers the high performance of the Kinetix® 5700 Servo Drive in a compact, On-Machine compatible design, making your production machines more efficient, flexible, and cost-effective than ever before. It’s the ideal solution for designing next-generation machinery.

Benefits of ArmorKinetix® Distributed Servo Drives

ArmorKinetix® delivers technology that enables faster deployment and more intelligent machines. This motion control system offers a modular and scalable solution to address your complex motion needs. By mounting these drives outside the cabinet, you can significantly reduce system complexity, cut overall costs, and empower your workforce.

ArmorKinetix® provides manufacturers with a new tool for designing more efficient and optimized production machines. Available as an integrated motor-drive solution and as a near-motor drive, this technology offers a revolutionary approach to machine design. It minimizes the number of parts, connection points, and floor space, resulting in shorter build times, reduced risk of failure, and increased throughput per square foot.

Servo Drive Technology Advantages

Whether you’re an OEM or an end user, you can leverage the benefits of decentralized motion control to enhance your machinery. With ArmorKinetix® Distributed Servo Drives, you can:

• Deploy with confidence: Easier to support designs and more intuitive machine operation.
• Accelerate installation and reduce engineering costs: Simplified, modular designs.
• Lower overall system costs: Fewer components and connection points.
• React faster and make informed decisions: Consistent experience across On-Machine solutions.
• Reduce risk: Advanced safety integration and CIP Security in a single-cable solution.

What Can Decentralized Motion Control Do for You?

Production machines with centralized control systems are often complex to design, build, and support. Switching to a decentralized architecture using ArmorKinetix® can simplify your system and add value. For example, shifting to a decentralized design can reduce cabling by up to 90% and decrease overall system costs by an average of 30%.

If your machine requires multiple On-Machine components, the machine-centric standard design of ArmorKinetix® ensures easy deployment and clear understanding when combined with other On-Machine devices.
