SPA5 servo power amplifier

The SPA5 is a 3-axis dc servo power amplifier for brushed and brushless motors and is a replacement for the SPA2-2 and UCC BI.

  • SPA5The SPA5 is compatible with the UCC controller range and the MCUlite-2, MCU5-2 and MCU W-3 joysticks
  • This system can operate on the majority of CMM structures without the requirement for changing motors.

Features

The primary advantage of the SPA5 is it is a single box solution.

Operating specification

  • Three axis dc servo motor drive:
    • Independent axis voltage control of 12 V to 60 V
    • Independent axis current limits up to 9 .5 A peak
    • Simulated linear power amplifier. Drive outputs are free from switching edges, eliminating noise from drive PWM, improving repeatability and reducing emissions
  • Axis scale and motor encoder power supply: 5.25 V to 6.75 V, 0 .5 A maximum (each)
  • +24 V 1 A power supply for CMM solenoids, solid state switches, machine user specific hardware
  • Digital input signals from air pressure, crash detection, all axis inner and outer travel limits and six user specific inputs
  • Digital output signals to control machine air, axis brakes and seven user specific outputs
  • Six configurable digital pins which can be independently configured to be either input or output
