The new actuator control solution (ACS) from TOLOMATIC is an easy-to-use, low-cost servo or stepper drive and controller developed specifically for use with electric actuators, providing infinite positioning, precise control and longer life. Originally offered as a stepper system, the newly released ACS with servo drive and control provides over 10 times the power of a stepper system, with the same easy-to-use operating modes.

 

With built-in configurations for all of Tolomatic’s electric actuators, linear motion is quickly and easily created in the desired linear units (mm or inch). The ACS in combination with Tolomatic electric actuators creates a complete, low-cost linear motion system ideal for replacing pneumatic cylinders and for automating manual processes. Applications in food and beverage processing and packaging include volumetric filling, pumping and dispensing. Material handling solutions include gating, sorting, aligning, while applications in general manufacturing processes include cutting, chopping, pick-and-place, press fittings and more.

 

“The ACS Stepper drive and controller was designed specifically for creating single-axis actuator solutions,?said Aaron Dietrich, director of marketing, Tolomatic. “Combined with any of Tolomatic’s electric actuator products, the entire axis of motion is available from one supplier.?/div>
