modules as required:

■ Power supply module,

20 A, 40 A

■ 1-channel axis module,

1 x 8 A, 1 x 18 A

■ 2-channel axis module,

2 x 6 A

Safe:

17 drive-integrated

TwinSAFE functions

High performance:

■ Current controller response

time of 1 μs

■ Current controller cycle time of

62.5 μs (down to 16 μs)

■ Position controller cycle

time of 62.5 μs

■ EtherCAT cycle time of 62.5 μs

Simple installation:

Fast, fail-safe and

tool-free assembly;

gap-free installation

Ultra-compact footprint: the modular

AX8000 multi-axis servo system.

Highly scalable:

AM8000 synchronous

servomotors with

The modular AX8000 servo system completes the highly scalable Beckhoff Drive Technology portfolio.

In addition to the integrated motion control solutions in TwinCAT software and a scalable series of motors,

there is a wide range of drive types available from compact drive technology, which is directly integrated

into the I/O system, up to the AX5000 EtherCAT Servo Drives. With freely combinable modules, the AX8000

multi-axis servo system delivers high-performance EtherCAT drive technology in a modular format that can

help dramatically reduce machine footprint.
