Omron is helping installers save valuable cabinet space with its Junma series servo drives.
With drive footprints starting at just 140mm by 35mm they are significantly smaller than other servo drives on the market.
Junma offers two drive types - Junma ML-II with built-in motion bus, and Junma Pulse, a traditional pulse type input drive designed to be used with position controllers.

Omron has introduced a modular, multi-loop temperature controller that can connect directly to a Human Machine Interface (HMI) and to any Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
Panel-space shortage becomes a thing of the past
Omron, the industrial automation specialist, has launched the Sysmac One series, combining control and HMI functionality into one transparent package to meet the requirements of machine builders
Both the Junma ML-II and Junma Pulse servo drives are available in four power output ratings - 100W, 200W, 400W and 750W.
Omron has also revolutionised servo technology with the introduction of dynamic self-tuning on its Junma series - consisting of a speed loop calculation and a mechanical resonance filter to deliver optimal servo control.
This eliminates the requirement to adjust the control parameters to match the load characteristics of a particular axis of a machine.
Manual adjustment is imperfect as it is not always easy to accurately determine a machine characteristics.
Tuning the parameters on a servo drive to match the machine under varying load conditions is also complicated and time consuming.
Wiring installation costs and errors are also reduced using Omron Junma ML-II servo drive with an in-built Mechatrolink II motion control bus allowing a single cable connection between controller and servo drives.
The in-built Mechatrolink II also facilitates remote servo configuration and diagnosis.
Combining the Junma ML-II with Omron NCF positioning unit delivers a complete point-to-point positioning system, offering 16-axes positioning with linear interpolation, as well as interrupt feeding.
With the connection of a PLC through the NCF, the Junma ML-II is fully transparent from any remote PC via either a serial or Ethernet link.
Robert Brooks, product manager, Omron Electronics commented: "The Junma series represents a step-change in servo drive technology.
Omron has refined every aspect of conventional servo drive design to deliver products which combine space-saving, simple connection and automatic tuning. Request a free brochure from Omron Electronics ...
Early interest in this series from our customers convinces us that Junma has a very bright future.".
