—in some cases from days to minutes.

Tools like the Machine Setup wizard, MachineApps HMI builder,

modern AeroScript™ programming language and a digital

oscilloscope enable you to set up, program and optimize servo

and stepper motors, precision stages, galvo scanning systems

and more in one development environment.

High-Powered Motion. High-Powered Control

Our Automation1-iXC6e single-axis PWM servo motor drive with

integrated motion controller is two solutions in one: it’s capable of

complete machine control and also provides superior positioning and

velocity control to high-powered linear or rotary servo motors ⁠—up

to 100 amps peak at 680 VDC bus voltage.

The iXC6e offers all the benefits of our iXC4e drive but with more

power to move the largest payloads, so you’ll accelerate large,

brushless servo motors faster and reach higher top speeds without

sacrificing smooth motion. The iXC6e is the powerful center of your

motion control architecture. It can run the Automation1-iSMC motion

controller, connect to other Automation1 drives over HyperWire and

connect to other automation devices over EtherCAT, EtherNet/IPTM,

Modbus TCP/IP or a TCP Socket interface.

Compact PWM+ Drive & Motion Controller

The Automation1 iXC2e servo motor drive combines PWM+

technology with the Automation1 motion controller’s full capabilities,

improving motion quality with sub-nanometer in-position stability and

boosting throughput with fast step-and-settle and superior tracking

performance—all in our smallest panel-mount drive.

The integrated Automation1-iSMC controller enables expert-level

tuning through intuitive tools, tight coordination with other Automation1

drives over HyperWire and integration with automation systems over

EtherCAT, EtherNet/IPTM, Modbus TCP/IP or TCP Socket interfaces.

Synchronize laser firing or process triggers with motion using multi

axis PSO, precisely align digital and analog I/O samples with the servo

loop and prevent unexpected motion with safe torque off (STO).
