IAI America, Inc Meet the Cost-Effective SCARA Robot Pulse Motor Type IXP John Henry Foster has been a distributor for IAI America since 2008 - a world leader in linear actuators, SCARA robots and plug and play automation. The IXP achieves a payload equivalent to that of a conventional model by adapting high-output drivers. All IXP models come standard with absolute encoders that do not require batteries. Since battery replacement is no longer necessary, maintenance man-hours are reduced. MORE AFFORDABLE By adopting pulse motors the IXP costs around 1/2 a conventional model. GREATER STORAGE AND SAFETY COMPLIANT Accommodating significantly more programs and position with the greater storage capacity. By building an appropriate external circuit, the MSEL meets the safety circuit requirements of any Safety Categories 1 to 3. SMALLER SIZE Having a size of 130mm in width x 195mm in height, the MSEL is significantly smaller than a conventional controller and saves space in your control panel. The MSEL can be installed with screws or using a DIN rail. SUPPORTING DIVERSE I/O INTERFACES Standard PIOs and one expansion I/O slot are available. For the expansion I/O slot, PIOs or field network can be selected.
