TECHNOSOFT intelligent motors iMOT17x - designed compact to maximize power

The iMOT17x denominates the family of motors with integrated electronics size 42 mm (NEMA17) from TECHNOSOFT containing brushless motor, encoder, servo drive and motion controller - all in one compact unit.

Specifically designed for applications where space is critical, the iMOT17x brushless series feature 0.1 to 0.3 Nm in a package from 64 to 98 mm (connectors oriented towards the front end reduce the product length). An iMOT172S embedding a step motor with integrated electronics and encoder completes the size 42 mm intelligent motor family.

The iMOT17x incorporates an absolute single turn encoder with 4096 pulses/rotation allowing a state-of-the-art, closed loop field oriented control providing smooth, quiet and repeatable motion for high end positioning applications.

TECHNOSOFT intelligent motors feature simple installation and reduced EMC: only power and communication signals need cable routing as the encoder and driver are included in the motor body and the digital I/Os (limit switches, etc...) can be connected locally.

Retractable connectors (XM version) or M8 and M12 round connectors (TM-CAN version) offer various IP protection degrees to suit the application needs. In both cases, either Technosoft Motion Language TMLCAN or CiA DS402 CANopen communication protocols are available while the EtherCAT (TM-CAT version) with CoE implementation is expected beginning 2016.

Offered with a complementary series of high quality gearboxes the iMOT17x intelligent motors are designed for unfailing, long-life use in a variety of factory or industrial automation systems as well as medical and laboratory equipments applications.
