The B&R Acopos P3 servo drive is compatible with all common power supply systems worldwide.
B&R’s Acopos P3 servo drive can be used in machines regardless of where they are deployed. Machine builders save the cost of building different machine variants for each country because the Acopos P3is compatible with all common power supply systems worldwide.
B&R’s servo drive now supports TN-S and TN-C-S systems with a grounded outer conductor and TT and IT systems with a grounded outer conductor. That makes it possible to use the servo drive in more applications than ever. It also enables OEMs to reduce the number of machine variants since they no longer need isolation transformers or additional filters for use in different countries.
Acopos P3 delivers high performance in a compact design
With a power density of six amperes in a liter, the Acopos P3 is a highly efficient servo drive able to control up to three axes. Safety functions in accordance with SIL 3 / PL e can also be integrated upon request.
It also delivers excellent dynamics and precision, with a minimum sampling time of just 50 microseconds for the entire controller cascade. All that performance is combined with a compact design. The Acopos P3 reduces the amount of space used in the control cabinet by up to 69%.
The Covid-19 pandemic led to the country-wide lockdown on 25 March 2020. It will be two years tomorrow as I write this. What have we learned in this time? Maybe the meaning of resilience since small companies like us have had to rely on our resources and the forbearance of our employees as we have struggled to produce our trade platforms.
The print and packaging industries have been fortunate, although the commercial printing industry is still to recover. We have learned more about the digital transformation that affects commercial printing and packaging. Ultimately digital will help print grow in a country where we are still far behind in our paper and print consumption and where digital is a leapfrog technology that will only increase the demand for print in the foreseeable future.
Web analytics show that we now have readership in North America and Europe amongst the 90 countries where our five platforms reach. Our traffic which more than doubled in 2020, has at times gone up by another 50% in 2021. And advertising which had fallen to pieces in 2020 and 2021, has started its return since January 2022.
As the economy approaches real growth with unevenness and shortages a given, we are looking forward to the PrintPack India exhibition in Greater Noida. We are again appointed to produce the Show Daily on all five days of the show from 26 to 30 May 2022.
It is the right time to support our high-impact reporting and authoritative and technical information with some of the best correspondents in the industry. Readers can power Packaging South Asia’s balanced industry journalism and help sustain us by subscribing.
