Delta Servo Drives Products
100W to 1.5KW
To meet the demanding requirements of motion control applications in industrial automation and satisfy the needs of high-precision positioning control requested by machine designers and system integrators, Delta launched the high-performance motion control ASDA-A2 series servo motors.
100W to 15KW
To meet the requirements of the motion control market for industrial manufacturing machines, Delta presents a new High-end AC Servo System, the ASDA-A3 Series, with features such as multi-functionality, high-performance, energy-efficiency, and compact design.
400W to 1.5KW
The Standard Delta Servo System ASDA-B3 Series features high tolerance, stable operation and high precision motion control functions. It creates a highly efficient, user-friendly operation environment for equipment and optimizes production efficiency and output value.
Delta Servo Drive Selection Guide
This guide distinguishes between the versatile A2, the next-generation A3, and the cost-optimized B3A series.
| Feature | ASDA-A2 Series | ASDA-A3 Series | ASDA-B3 Series |
|---|---|---|---|
| Positioning Resolution | 20-bit (1,280,000 p/rev) | 24-bit (16,777,216 p/rev) | 24-bit (16,777,216 p/rev) |
| Response Bandwidth | 1.0 kHz | 3.1 kHz | 3.1 kHz |
| Motion Functions | Advanced E-Cam, PR Mode | Enhanced E-Cam, 99 PR steps | Standard PR Mode |
| Safety Features | Optional | Built-in STO (SIL2) | Built-in STO (SIL2) |
Which Series is Right for Your Project?
- Choose ASDA-A3 if: You need the absolute highest performance currently available. It offers a 20% smaller footprint than the A2 and the highest response bandwidth (3.1kHz), making it ideal for high-speed electronics assembly and medical manufacturing in South Africa.
- Choose ASDA-A2 if: You have a legacy system or require specific advanced E-CAM (Electronic Cam) profiles that have been standardized on this reliable platform. It remains a workhorse for complex synchronized cutting applications.
- Choose ASDA-B3A if: You want modern performance (24-bit resolution and STO safety) at a more competitive price point. It is the “Standard High-Efficiency” choice for conveyor systems, basic pick-and-place, and wood-processing machinery.
Technical FAQ for South African Motion Engineers
Q: Can I use an ASDA-B3 drive with an older ASDA-A2 motor?
A: Yes. One of the biggest advantages of the B3 series is its backward compatibility with A2 and A3 series motors, allowing for easy onsite repairs and upgrades without replacing the entire mechanical setup.
Q: What is the benefit of the “24-bit Encoder” in the A3 and B3A?
A: A 24-bit encoder provides over 16 million pulses per revolution. This results in ultra-smooth rotation at very low speeds and microscopic positioning accuracy, which is critical for CNC machining and high-end printing.
Q: Does the “STO” function really matter for my factory?
A: Yes. The Safe Torque Off (STO) function allows the drive to cut power to the motor without disconnecting the main power supply. This meets modern South African safety standards (SIL2), allowing for faster restarts after an emergency stop while protecting your staff.
