With its innovative and cutting-edge servo drive design, the ASDA-M series gives a new definition to servo system by achieving the perfect combination of motion controller and servo system. The development of the ASDA-M series follows in the footsteps of the successful ASDA-A2 series and offers high resolution, high frequency response, a built-in electronic cam (E-Cam), function of auto notch filter, vibration and resonance suppression, full-closed loop control, friction compensation and a more flexible position register control PR mode. The ASDA-M series also features many robust functions and an advanced design that meets a variety of applications for all types of industrial automation machines.

The ASDA-M series goes beyond the typical servo drive. It includes 3-axis servo drives in one frame to support real-time data exchange among three axes without any time delay and provides 3-axis synchronous motion control with performance better than comparable servo drives. Users can perform 3-axis linear/arc/helical interpolation functions easily. The ASDA-M series also features a new gantry control function for synchronous control that is precisely adapted to pure rigid mechanical systems. The ASDA-M series is your best choice for the highly integrated systems and the high-end machines requiring 3-axis synchronous control.
