Servo motor control in a vacuum

Operating electrical motors in a vacuum presents a complex set of challenges, from heat dissipation and material outgassing to the risk of corona arcing. This white paper explores how Control Techniques’ Unidrive M700 drives enabled Applied Motion Systems to develop a servo positioning system for a vacuum casting mold application. By leveraging innovative low-voltage drive technology and seamless PLC integration, the solution delivered precision control while mitigating the risks associated with vacuum environments.
