Advancements in technology are a major trend in the market for servo motors and drives. Such enhancements aid in improving product design and making motion control more manageable. For example, Trio Motion Technology, a company based in India that specializes in high-performance motion control technology, unveiled its DX4 servo drive and MX servo motor series in February 2022. The aim was to offer superior motion control. The DX4 servo drive is compatible with controllers and I/O systems in a plug-and-play manner and is programmable within a single software known as Motion Perfect. This boosts the speed of development and commissioning for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in sectors like packaging, medical, and robotics. Furthermore, the DX4 servo drive can operate at 200V AC, with power ranging from 50W to 3kW. By utilizing EtherCAT communications, the Motion Coordinator series can control up to 128 axes with high precision.
