Purchasing
Before purchase
Before purchasing the drive, it is suggested to:
- Ensure product suitability for your needs:
- See VSD-E/XE PDF manual chapter 13 for supported motor and feedback device types
- Check if a compatible reference signal is available from your controller
- Read through the drive manual to understand the product and requirements better
- Make clear what additional items will be needed, such as power supplies and possibly interface electronics
- If unsure about suitability, please send inquiry to Granite Devices support to be sure
How to purchase
VSD-E base price in single quantities is €199 and VSD-XE €243 excluding VAT. Both models are currently under active production and can be purchased from GD Web shop or from any GD distributor.
Applications
Motion control
- Robotics
- CNC
- Pick'n'place
- Precise speed,torque or position control
- Actuators
Other uses
VSD-E series has been successfully used also in non-motion related applications mainly in torque mode (a.k.a. current control mode). In these applications a LC filter has been used after drive to smoothen out the PWM output.
- High power LED driver (up to 160 VDC led strings) with dimming
- High power thermoelectric cooling driver
DualDC
A special feature of VSD-E/XE is that it can control two indepdendent brush DC servo motors on single drive. This mode is achieved by downloading a freerly available DualDC firmware to the drive. DualDC mode has several restrictions compared to single axis mode due to hardware limitations.
