MaxPlus PowerBlok

The MaxPlus PowerBlok 1000 and 2000 series product line is the latest in the line of digital servo drives offered by MTS Systems Corporation Automation Division. The PowerBlok is a direct PWM controlled, universal servo-drive, integrated into a Power Hybrid Module. The PowerBlok, is designed to meet the demanding needs of design engineers in OEM and systems integration applications. These high performance digital direct PWM servo drives become a "platform" you can configure for all multi-axis applications, whether you're running brushless servo motors, AC vector servos or linear motors. The flexibility of the PowerBlok product line makes it the perfect choice for very demanding motion applications when combined with a PWM Motion Controller, or for less demanding applications where a AC motor and encoder are the solution resulting in significant cost savings without a performance penalty. The PowerBlok's plug-and-play capabilities allow design engineers to independently optimize the drive, heat sink and power supply, based on their specific application needs. The PowerBlok's small modular footprint of approximately 5 x 4 x 1-1/2 inches enables it to be mounted to all types of heat sinks, cabinets and enclosures.

The PowerBlok features direct off-line operation 120-480 VAC +/- 10% 47-66Hz with 1 to 21.5 kW Continuous Drive Output. It is capable of up to 28 Amps RMS continuous and up to 58 Amps RMS peak. PowerBlok is a fully fault protected motor drive that protects from over-voltage, short circuit, and both instantaneous and average over-current conditions. The PowerBlok's input logic also protects it from faulty PWM signals. All inputs and outputs are digital and optically isolated and processed through a serial analog to digital converter to insure noise free, robust feedback. The PoweBlok 1000 and 2000 series products are UL recognized and CE certified and are installed and working in a wide range of applications worldwide.
