Lenze Debuts Cost Effective MCM Synchronous Servo Motors
Easy to install and control IP65-rated modular servo motors ideal for simple positioning robotics, packaging, and material handling tasks
UXBRIDGE, MA - MARCH 14, 2016 - A leading global manufacturer of electrical and mechanical drives, motion control and automation technologies, Lenze Americas has launched a series of MCM synchronous servo motors that delivers intermediate-level dynamic performance. Scalable, modular Lenze MCM motors are easy to control and optimized for a range of positioning tasks, including robotics, packaging equipment and handling systems.
"Designed with an optimal torque and inertial mass ratio, our MCM servo motors give customers the precision they need in a compact and simple solution," said Doug Burns, director of sales and marketing, Lenze. "MCM motors work in perfect harmony with Lenze inverters in positioning, return and any recurring motion sequences in the medium dynamic range."
Modular MCM motors feature IP65-rated protection class housings with easily cleaned surfaces for food processing and other applications. Equipped with a robust resolver feedback system as a standard feature, the motors can be optionally supplied with multi-turn, sine-cosine encoders for high precision. SpeedTec connections with rotary connector boxes simplify and expedite installation, maintenance and replacement.
The Lenze MCM motor series is available in three sizes with power ratings of 0.27 to 3.35 Hp (0.2 to 2.5 kW). In conjunction with Lenze i700, 9400 and 8400 TopLine servo inverters, the economically efficient and powerful MCM motor drive solutions are capable of achieving torque ranges from 5.31 to 233.66 in-lbs. (0.6 to 26.4 Nm). Self-cooling MCM servo motors are optimized with spring-applied brakes, feedback systems and connections, and a comprehensive range of system cables for easy installation.
"Tailored for superior performance in positioning tasks requiring intermediate-level dynamics, MCM motors complement the Lenze portfolio, maximum precision requirements," adds Burns.

Featured Product
Nion: Next-level time-of-flight
The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
