Modular Drive System

Powerful Solutions for Welding and Cutting Automation with Precision and Versatility! A powerful machine that allows the operator to custom configure one machine for various applications

The Modular Drive System is the only product in the industry that allows users to configure a single machine for various automated applications, both now and in the future. Future development has been engineered into the system, allowing its modular components to be easily upgraded. As new technologies are introduced, the Modular Drive System can be enhanced to incorporate new features and capabilities. Unlike other systems that will become obsolete, the Modular Drive System will remain state-of-the-art in portable motion control.

The Master Drive Unit features a high-torque, low-inertia motor for precise stops and starts, along with a dedicated fail-safe brake that provides three times the stopping and holding power of the motor. The unit is equipped with motor overload protection, which turns off the motor and engages the brake whenever an excessive load is placed on the machine. Additionally, the Master Drive includes closed-loop speed control for adjustable, repeatable control of critical welding or cutting parameters, and closed-loop position control to prevent creep.

FEATURES:

The Linear/Pendulum Weaver and Weaver Control Module incorporate the following standard features:

 • High torque, low inertia motor for precise starts and stops.

 • High speed Linear/Pendulum Weaver for weaving, with independent control of right and left dwell times. 

• High motor gearing which prevents the crossarm from moving when the unit is turned off. 

• Closed loop speed control for adjustable and repeatable control of critical welding parameters. 

• Closed loop position control to prevent drift from the weld center position. 

• Clutch, to enable rapid installation or replacement of the weaver cross arm. 

• Gun mounting group with adjustable racking for accurate positioning of the gun. 

• Contactor ON/OFF switch
