Hi,
I would make the case that this is close enough... but I know I'm wrong.
don't get me wrong, I cut corners to save budget and it is legally permissible given that I am an amateur, but the shortcuts
I take would not be permissible in a commercial machine.
I am surprised that Clearpath don't have a braked model. Then I suppose there are too few wires going to the servo to enact it.
I find that Clearpath are expensive for what you get. A 400W Delta or DMM servo and 230VAC drive costs less than a Clearpath
of 200W. Of course with a separate drive you can have many more wires for control features like a brake.
I have a braked 750W Delta B2 series servo and drive, it has in addition to step/direction inputs has 8 programmable
digital inputs, six programmable digital outputs and two programmable analogue outputs. It cost about $100USD more than
a non-braked servo, $650USD including three day DHL shipping to New Zealand. Clearpath cant get within a country mile
of that, first I don't think they make a 750W servo, certainly not one with a brake.
Clearpath CPM-SDSK-3416P is 365W for $424
Clearpath CPM-SDHP-3446D is 410W for $695
Clearpath CPM-SDHP-N0561P is 986W for $928
Delta 400W B2 series (160,000 cpr encoder) and drive $385
Delta 750W B2 series and drive $439
Delta 750W B2 series braked and drive $565
