Honorable Mentions

Motors: Adjustable Speed Brushless BMC & BSM

Baldor Electric

Baldor’s brushless motor control is available from ¼ hp to 3 hp and will accept either 115, 208, or 230 V ac input voltage. The BMC includes protection features such as: RMS current, short circuit, electronic inrush, under-voltage and over-voltage, motor overload, MOV transient and comes protected in a finger safe IP20 package. The ac brushless servo motors BSM N-series provide industrial motion control applications with low inertia to attain the highest acceleration capability, delivering rapid positioning capabilities. The BSM N-series is used in some of the world’s fastest machines and most demanding applications.

Motion control: Allen-Bradley CompactLogix L45

Rockwell Automation

For machine builders looking to standardize on a single integrated control platform with multi-disciplined capabilities, the Allen-Bradley CompactLogix L45 controller offers expanded scalability and integrated motion control capabilities. Controlling up to eight axes of motion, the L45 is an extension of the Logix Control Platform, which brought integrated motion and distributed control capabilities to smaller applications. The platform leverages the same control engine, development tools, communications services and network and operator interface technologies, making it fully integrated and scalable for use in multiple applications.
