EtherCAT Servo Drive Starter Kit from ANCA Motion

Announcement posted by ANCA Motion 22 Apr 2013

ANCA Motion is making EtherCAT Servo Drives available to everyone
Monday, 22 April 2013 - ANCA Motion is changing the way servo drives and automation equipment is distributed, sold, and supported. No longer are servo drives a specialist piece of control equipment to be locked away and hidden from the public.

In the past, pricing was hidden so no one knew the real sales price and once you’d placed an order you’d have to wait weeks or even months for your order to arrive.

Once your order arrives, if you needed support you’d have to work your way along the supply chain from the sales person, through the distributor, the local office, until finally your request made it to the headquarters of the drive manufacturer. If you were lucky your request might make it to an engineer that had some knowledge of the product.

ANCA Motion is removing these barriers as they believe that the advantages and benefits of servo drive technology and high speed field buses should be more accessible to everyone.

With more efficient and direct product supply and simplified access to the engineering teams that actually designed and built the product, ANCA Motion are able to offer a servo drive range with compatible motors at an affordable price along with world class support.

The newly launched website at www.ancamotion.com/AMD2000 will allow servo drives and motors to be purchased directly from ANCA Motion and shipped from our factory to your door. The initial offering will consist of some of the most popular products from ANCA Motion’s range and will be extended over time.

The entire AMD2000 AC Servo Drive range from ANCA Motion comes standard with an EtherCAT interface for quick and easy integration with motion controllers or CNCs as well as other industrial devices. The technology has matured to the point where almost anyone can install and configure the drive without any special training.

“We believe that EtherCAT Servo drives should be available to everyone at a reasonable price and we are making this happen.”
