Intelligent Servo Modules. The new 140 mm frame size iSH-140 models feature continuous torque up to 11.5 Nm, enabling packaging machinery OEMs to power larger mechanisms that previously required conventional servos.
 
Following the overwhelming success of its iSH Series Intelligent Servo Module technology introduced last year, ELAU has expanded the power range to handle applications such as main transport conveyors, carousels and other higher inertia mechanisms. In many cases, this extends the benefits of plug & play cabling, modular flexibility, reduced wiring and electrical cabinet size to the entire machine.

With the new 140 mm frame size iSH 140, the servo modules from Schneider Electric's ELAU Packaging Solutions cover a continuous torque range of 1.1 to 11.5 Nm, with peak torque extended to 50 Nm. The new servo modules are completely software- and functionally-compatible with existing systems.

Previously, higher power applications might require one or two conventional servo motors with cabinet-mounted drives in addition to servo modules. This technological advance represents another step forward, to the consistently modular, integrated design of packaging machinery in terms of mechanical, electronic and software systems. In addition, electrical cabinet space, cable lengths, installation and wiring labor and component costs are further reduced.
