Automation1 iXL5e Enhanced Linear Servo Drive with Motion Controller
Our high-performance Automation1 iXL5e linear servo motor drive with integrated motion controller is the one-stop-shop for high-powered, high-performance precision motion control applications. The iXL5e drive enables low noise and high precision motor control and also controls your entire machine or motion system. The high, continuous output power of the iXL5e’s linear power amplifiers enables reliable operation for the world’s most demanding precision motion applications. The absence of PWM switching noise greatly reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise, making the iXL5e an ideal choice for applications such as eddy current inspection, sensor testing and high-precision position and velocity tracking.

Automation1
The iXL5e is a part of the user-friendly Automation1 motion control platform, which includes the following:
Packed with Features
Standard features for the Automation1 iXL5e include safe torque off (STO), a data array of over 67.1 MB, digital and analog I/O, Position Synchronized Output (PSO), dedicated home and end-of-travel limit inputs and an enhanced current sense device.
Feedback Flexibility
The standard iXL5e accepts square-wave and absolute encoder feedback signals. With the optional encoder multiplier feature, sine-wave encoders can be multiplied by up to 65,536, making iXL5e our highest-resolution position feedback drive. Dual-multiplied and dual-absolute encoder feedback is supported.
Control Your Process
The iXL5e is more than a motion control device. It also includes many process control features. Empowered with Aerotech’s PSO functionality, a single-axis iXL5e can track up to three encoders in real-time to trigger a process tool like an industrial laser or camera.
Each iXL5e can be configured with an optional I/O expansion board, greatly increasing the number of I/O points. The I/O board includes a dedicated PSO output, and PSO can be used with a synchronization input to synchronize process control with an external mode-locked frequency input.
Low Noise Operation
Linear amplifiers are characterized by low noise operation, and the iXL5e is no different. This is because linear amplifiers do not incorporate on-off pulse width modulation (PWM) switching to control motor currents.
Ready To Connect
The HyperWire connection makes it simple to connect the iXL5e with other Automation1 drive hardware in a multi-axis configuration. A 24-volt one amp brake output is included. The device is CE approved, NRTL safety certified and EU 2015/863 RoHS 3 directive certified. The power amplifier bandwidth is software selectable.
Excellent In-Position Performance
Thanks to advanced control techniques and feedback signal processing, the iXL5e can control and hold a linear air bearing stage in a standstill position within 0.8 nm RMS.
