Servo Products Co. Launches Type 350X Power Feed for Enhanced Efficiency and Safety!

Servo Products Co. has introduced its Servo Type 350X Power Feed, a cutting-edge solution designed to provide reliable and efficient performance for machine tool applications. The 350X power feed is equipped with re-engineered internal components to enhance safety, improve reliability, and optimize overall performance, making it ideal for use across multiple axes of machine operations.

The Servo Type 350X Power Feed boasts a range of advanced features that make it stand out in the market for its functionality and user safety. It is powered by a brushless DC motor (BLDC), which significantly increases efficiency and reliability compared to traditional power feed designs. This motor provides continuous torque, producing a minimum of 350 inch/pounds of torque at feed rates as low as 0.3 inches/minute, making it versatile for use on all three axes—table, saddle, and knee.

The 350X Power Feed also delivers extremely accurate speed regulation under varying load conditions, ensuring consistent performance across different machining tasks. Moreover, it comes equipped with dynamic braking, enabling quick stops for efficient operation.

In addition to improving performance, the Servo Type 350X incorporates advanced safety features to ensure user protection and compliance with industry standards. The power feed features continual monitoring of critical functions such as limit switches, emergency stop (E-Stop) status, motor speed, voltage, and current using microprocessor technology. This provides a higher level of operational safety and real-time monitoring of the system’s status.

One of the standout features is the safety logic circuitry, which prevents accidental operation after an emergency stop or during power-up. The power feed will not operate after the E-Stop is released if the direction handle is in the left or right position. The direction handle must first return to the neutral or off position, and only then will the status LED turn from red to blue, indicating that the system is ready for operation.

Additionally, the power feed’s limit switches have been upgraded to 5 VDC from the traditional 115 VAC. This change reduces the risk of electrical shock in case of cable damage or cuts, enhancing user safety during operation.

The Servo Type 350X is built with durability in mind, featuring a hard coat anodized 7075 aluminum drive gear, replacing the previous Delrin gear for increased strength and the ability to handle high torque loads. The addition of safety overcurrent protection in the motor/gear drive circuit further ensures the prevention of stripped gears, which can occur in high-stress conditions.

For added convenience and flexibility, the power feed can be easily converted from a table feed to a knee feed, giving users more versatility across different machine operations. The RAPID button also features a dual-color LED, which functions as a status indicator to notify users of the system’s current operation mode.

The Servo Type 350X power feed stands out for its energy efficiency. Compared to traditional brushed-DC motor designs, the 350X uses 75% less current under the same operating conditions. This reduction in energy usage translates to lower operating costs and a more environmentally friendly solution.

To ensure peace of mind, the Servo Type 350X Power Feed is backed by a two-year warranty, offering customers reliable support and service throughout the product’s lifecycle.

In summary, Servo Products Co.’s Type 350X Power Feed delivers cutting-edge performance with a strong emphasis on safety, reliability, and energy efficiency. With its advanced motor technology, enhanced safety features, and user-friendly design, it is set to become a top choice for machine tool applications in various industries.
