MIDDEX Product innovation – the SC8
We are thrilled to introduce the SC8, the all-rounder among motor controllers – our latest product innovation that redefines the standard for industrial motor control. The SC8 is the result of our intensive development efforts and is designed for companies that value not only Middex’s proven quality but also efficiency and cost savings.
IT DOESN’T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE A SERVO
Are you using expensive servo motors for B and C-level tasks?
The SC8 controller is a custom-built alternative to servo drives – especially for applilcations that are both challenging and cost-sensitive . Its excellent efficiency facilitates high power densities, enables extreme step frequencies, and ensures ultra-fine step resolutions. Compared to conventional 200 W servo drivers, you’ll save up to 20 percent of your total operating costs – without compromising reliability or durability.
THE LATEST GENERATION
OF MOTOR CONTROL
- 48 VDC power supply
- 6 Aeff output current at 240 W
and up to 8 Aeff boost current - Slim 17.5 mm design,
half the width
of comparable models - Control via EtherCAT®
or step/direction signals - Separate interfaces
for brake and encoder - Highly flexible integration
through configurable
inputs and outputs - No active cooling required
Thanks to EtherCAT® and the CiA® 402 drive profile, networking becomes seamless. Limit switches, reference switches, encoders and many other peripheral devices are easy to connect. It offer versatile integration options into existing systems – whether you’re looking to optimizing a single section or streamline your entire facility.
SC8 FOR YOUR BUSINESS – THE ADVANTAGES
WHY USE
STEPPER MOTOR
TECHNOLOGY?
Smart. Flexible. Stand-alone.
Whether via EtherCAT® or step/direction interface – the SC8 integrates seamlessly into your automation setup.
And it doesn’t stop here: the SC8 also operates independently, without the need for a master controller like a PLC. You can set up state machine commands in relation to external signals inputting via I/O enabling fully autonomous routines.
Repetitive motions are easily parametrized using the MiddexServiceInterface – an user-friendly Windows software that utilize the CANBus® communication.
Versatile. Fast. Powerful.
From compact NEMA 11 to robust NEMA 24 stepper motors – the SC8 drives them all with zero need on special motor adaptation. Just set the required voltage and current – and you’re ready to go.
Its ultra-fast analog current controller, combined with the trusted Middex power bridge unleashes outstanding motor performance. Advanced vectorization, fine-tuned control algorithms, paired with high-performance DSPs, ensure real-time responsiveness and precise control.
The SC8 also adapts to your needs with flexible software and hardware options – making it the ideal choice for various motor control tasks.
