Argon is a servo drive designed by Granite Devices. Wide range of unique features consists:

• Suitable for AC, BLDC, Linear and DC servo motors from 50 W to 1500 W
• High dynamic range torque control
• Streamlined setup process
• Dual CPU architecture with dedicated open-source ARM CPU for user functionality
• And tons more, see Argon Wiki page

• STATE OF THE ART SERVO DRIVE

  • High dynamic range torque control
  • Wide range motor support, from DC, BLDC, AC and Linear, from 50 W to 1500 W
  • Sophisticated dead-time distortion elimination
  • Flexible feedback device port supporting incremental, serial and analog encoders and resolvers ¹
  • Dual CPU architecture with dedicated open source ARM CPU for user functionality
  • High functional density and cost efficiency: all features included in the standard model
  • 3-level PWM output with reduced motor heating

  CONTROL

  • Input setpoint signals including pulse and direction, quadrature, analog and PWM
  • Internal axis homing function with sensorless hard-stop operating mode
  • Multidrop capable realtime SimpleMotion V2 field bus for setup & control

  PROTECTIONS & RUGGEDNESS

  Argons are built to last – and we have faith in their longevity. If your Argon break within 24 months of use, we will repair or replace them free of charge (details).

  • 4-way Safe torque off with motor braking
  • Prevent machine damage via I²t (motor temperature modelling), blocked motion and tracking error detection
  • Industry leading ruggedness: over current, short circuit, over voltage, under voltage and over temperature protections, internally fused, catalog/communication error detection
  • CE compliance
