Automation1 XL4s High-Speed, Single-Phase Linear Servo Drive
A high-performance linear amplifier for single-phase motors, the XL4s digital drive eliminates non-linearities common to PWM amplifiers. It offers deterministic behavior, auto-identification and easy software setup. Advanced features—including full state feed-forward, 200 kHz servo rates and look-ahead-based velocity control—allow you to achieve industry-leading settling times, long-term thermal stability and sub-micron-level tracking accuracy.
Thanks to an industry-leading servo rate of 200 kHz, you’ll see better tracking performance and part quality at high speeds in applications such as fast-tool servos, high-dynamic optical focusing axes and high-speed pick-and-place machines

The XL4s is a part of the user-friendly Automation1 motion control platform, which includes the following:
Thanks to an industry-leading servo rate of 200 kHz, the XL4s delivers better tracking performance and part quality at high speeds in applications such as fast-tool servos, high-dynamic optical focusing axes and high-speed pick-and-place machines.
Unlike other fast tool servo controllers, the XL4s can be panel-mounted in a machine enclosure, resulting in a smaller machine footprint and requiring less overall floor space.
A multi-core, double-precision floating point DSP controls the digital PID. System configuration is performed using all software-settable parameters, including control-loop gains and system safety functions. Optimized to control single-phase motors or voice-coil axes, the XL4s has an encoder interpolation feature, dedicated analog and digital I/O, and separate power connections for motor and control supply voltages.
