ERIKS has launched a programming,
repair and full-function testing
service for Elau Servo Motors. The
solution is expected to benefit
engineers working in the meat slicing
and packaging machine industry.
The Elau Servo Motors require specific diagnostic and repair facilities. This is because the commutation devices are in constant communication with the drive; they are dynamically tested using the Elau Pac-Drive MC-4 servo controller.
The motors use a hiperface encoder; this carries an eeprom that contains motor data that the drive uses to run the motors in an Elau Pac-Drive system. If the eeprom is programmed incorrectly the motor will not run.
Following reverse engineering of Elau Motors and the Elau MC-4 Pac- Drives, ERIKS developed the capability to programme and test these motors.
