Intelligent energy management and heat dissipation optimization
Temperature controlled natural convection heat dissipation: Automatically adjust the heat dissipation efficiency according to the ambient temperature, reduce fan dependence, lower failure rate, and extend service life.
Low standby power consumption: The standby power consumption of electronic components is about 12W, which meets industrial energy-saving standards.
Environmental adaptability and safety certification
Protection level: IP20 (main body)/IP54 (after installation), with safe wiring to meet dust and water splash protection requirements, suitable for harsh industrial environments.
Wide temperature operation: Operating temperature range+5 ° C to+45 ° C (short-term+55 ° C), storage temperature -25 ° C to+70 ° C, suitable for extreme weather conditions.
Global certification: CE, UL, cUL certification, in compliance with EU and North American safety standards, to facilitate equipment exports.
Modularity and Scalability
Multi axis synchronous control: can be extended to dozens of axis systems through a bus, simplifying multi axis motion planning (such as robots, CNC machine tools).
Flexible configuration: Supports multiple motor types and feedback encoders (such as incremental and absolute) to adapt to different load requirements.
