FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AMCI UL Listed Stepper Drives Approved for
OEMs and Machine Builders
 Terryville,
CT February 22, 2010– AMCI has expanded their selection
of UL
Listed stepper drives in response to increased safety
and performance requirements for machine builders and OEMs.
The SD17040, SD31045, and SD17060 series stepper drives are
now certified by Underwriters Laboratories® (UL) as UL
Listed products. The UL Listing mark on AMCI stepper drives
indicates that the drives have been tested by UL to recognized
safety standards. These newly approved drives are rated for
operation in ambient temperatures ranging from 0°C to
50°C, and are compatible with AMCI’s complete line
of motion controllers and high torque stepper motors.
AMCI’s stepper
drives provide a wide range of features including network
connectivity, onboard indexers, encoder feedback, compact
design, and simplified set-up. All of AMCI’s UL-Listed
drives are self-contained with their own power supplies, and
range from 4.0 Arms – 9.8 Arms (Amps RMS) of output
current. Additionally, a high voltage version is now available
from AMCI to meet European standards that require 230Vac input.
All of the units can be installed into tight spaces without
thermal issues, and offer panel or side mounting for increased
flexibility.
“Most machine builders and OEMs require UL approved
control products because their equipment must meet safety
and performance standards around the world. AMCI’s UL
listed stepper drives achieve this level of excellence as
verified by Underwriters Laboratories’ rigorous testing
& certification”, explained Stan Mantchev, AMCI
Engineer. Many stepper drives with UL approval are only recognized,
whereas AMCI’s stepper drives are UL listed to ensure
hassle free compliance in any installation.
Underwriters Laboratories® (UL) is a company that has
developed standards and testing systems to ensure products
are safe. A UL Listing mark on a product is always composed
of four elements including the UL in a circle mark (logo),
and the word LISTED in capital letters. UL Listed products
represent products that are found to be free from reasonably
foreseeable risk of fire, electric shock, and related hazards,
and that the product was manufactured under UL’s follow-up
service program.
AMCI designs and manufactures everything you need to easily
configure a high performance, reliable stepper
motor control system. Every product is designed for optimum
performance when connected to other AMCI stepper products
and will provide years of trouble free operation.
