The Schneider Electric ELAU C400/10/1/1/1/00 stands as a next-generation modular servo drive engineered for high-performance motion control in demanding industrial environments. Part of the C400 series within ELAU’s PacDrive 3 automation platform, this 10A-rated servo controller delivers ±0.001mm positioning accuracy through 64-bit floating-point processing, specifically designed for ultra-precision robotics in semiconductor manufacturing. The ELAU C400/10/1/1/1/00 integrates SERCOS III and EtherCAT dual communication channels, enabling seamless synchronization of up to 128 axes in automotive assembly line applications.
Optimized for flexible packaging machinery, this drive implements advanced anti-resonance algorithms that compensate for mechanical compliance in rotary thermoforming systems. The C400/10/1/1/1/00 features IP67-rated protection with stainless steel housing, making it ideal for washdown environments in meat processing plants. Its configurable safety functions (STO, SS1, SOS) meet ISO 13849-1 PL e requirements for collaborative robot applications in pharmaceutical packaging lines.
