Omron Expands Safety Motion Drives

Omron expands its AC drives offering with the introduction of the 3G3MX2 series, powerful micro drives with power ranges from 0.1KW to 15KW. The 3G3MX2 is designed for Original Equipment Manufacturers and their demanding industrial applications.

With advanced design and algorithms the 3G3MX2 provides smooth control down to zero speed, plus precise operation for fast cyclic operations and torque control capability in open loop. With sensorless vector control the 3G3MX2 and with dual rating functionality can be used for both constant torque and variable torque applications. It also delivers comprehensive functionality for machine control such as positioning, speed synchronization and logic programming. The 3G3MX2 delivers 200% starting torque near stand-still (0.5 Hz) and can operate torque control in open loop mode.

The 3G3MX2 drives can be integrated into new and existing safety systems. Safety circuits embedded in the drives provide “safe torque off” operator protection conforming to ISO 13849-1, Cat 3.
