ACS Motion Control has introduced the NanoPWM switching PWM servo drives which are suitable for applications including 450 and 300mm semiconductor wafer inspection systems, high resolution OLED flat panel display handling and inspection machinery.

Using a SPiiPlus controller and NanoPWM drives controlling an XY table with speeds above 1m/s, standstill jitter of better than ±0.3nm (following error of ±10nm at speeds of 100mm/s) have been achieved. The drives use ACS’ proprietary and revolutionary PWMBoost technology. Operating from a 100V input, the drives deliver currents of up to 15A continous or 30A peak.

Compared to commercially-available linear drives, ACS’ NanoPWM drives operate at higher voltages and currents, are enclosed in smaller packages and are more cost-effectively priced.

Ze’ev Kirshenboim, Chairman and Founder, ACS Motion Control, commented: “Based on a proprietary and unique technology developed over the last 5 years, the NanoPWM performance is superior to linear servo drives, guaranteed. The NanoPWM added value to our customers is quite significant, providing better positioning and tracking performance, smaller size, higher efficiency, better reliability and lower cost.”
