Pacific Scientific SCE903A3-002-01 High Precision Servo Drive for Industrial Automation

This servo drive handles precision motion control tasks where accuracy matters most. Designed for industrial environments that demand repeatable performance, it’s commonly used in CNC machines, robotic arms, and automated assembly lines. The drive maintains tight control over position, speed, and torque – critical for applications like semiconductor handling or medical device manufacturing.

Real-World Applications

We’ve seen this model perform well in packaging machines requiring micro-meter precision and laser cutting systems needing vibration-free operation. One customer mentioned how its RS-485 interface simplified integration with their existing PLC network, avoiding costly system overhauls. It’s particularly popular in food processing plants where temperature fluctuations make standard drives unreliable.

Commonly paired with Yaskawa SGMAH/SGMCS motors and Allen Bradley motion controllers, this drive works with most major industrial automation platforms. We often supply it alongside Beckhoff servo motors for high-speed labeling applications.

Technical Advantages

The 17-bit encoder resolution delivers exceptional position accuracy – think 0.0001° repeatability in rotary applications. Its dual communication ports (Ethernet + RS-485) allow simultaneous connection to HMIs and PLCs without signal conflicts. The drive’s thermal management system automatically adjusts output torque based on temperature readings, preventing overheating in continuous-duty cycles.

While not inherently redundant, multiple units can be configured for load-sharing applications. We’ve helped customers implement backup systems using external contactors – particularly valuable in 24/7 pharmaceutical production lines where downtime costs thousands per hour.
