Features
There are two types of mini drives, "installed on self-propelled equipment" and "installed on stationary equipment".
Please click on the picture of the use case you are interested in. We will introduce the characteristics of mini drives to you according to the application.

Main features ─ When installed on self-propelled equipment
Easy setup even with limited space in self-propelled equipment
The mini driver adopts a compact design that can be installed in small gaps. As long as 2 screws can be installed directly on the equipment.
Reduce the load on the wheel drive shaft
The mini drive weighs 56g. Equivalent to a medium-sized egg. The lower the overall weight of the device, the less power is consumed by the wheel drive axles. Therefore, the driving time after each charge can be extended.
Support battery power
Wide range of power supply voltage specifications, battery power can be used. Can support DC24V and DC48V. The following is the operating voltage range.
Visualize the power supply voltage to prevent insufficient remaining battery power
The power supply voltage of the driver can be monitored by the host control device.
[Left] Supply voltage monitoring - This function instantly outputs the value of the driver supply voltage.
[Right] Insufficient voltage information - When the power supply voltage of the driver is lower than the pre-set threshold, a signal can be output through this function.

No need for external detectors, saving wiring
The AZ series completely eliminates the need for external detectors and wiring related to the external detectors, which contributes to the reduction in size and weight of the equipment. Also, the work time required for wiring can be reduced.
The AZ series is equipped with a battery-free mechanical absolute encoder [ABZO encoder].
Even if the power supply is stopped suddenly or blocked due to a power failure during the positioning operation, the position information can be maintained.

Unified management of the entire equipment through the network
Can be controlled directly from the network. Unified management of equipment information helps save wiring.
● When the RS-485 communication type is used together with a separately sold network converter (Gateway) , it can be controlled via CC-Link and MECHATROLINK.
