Company officials describe the combination of MotionMatch motor sizing software and MotionView drive configuration software as a powerful yet simple solution to motion control management.

According to Darrow Hanesian, Director of Product Management at Lenze-AC Tech, “Sizing a motor shouldn’t be rocket science and neither should programming a servo drive.” Hanesian states that Lenze — AC Tech’s MotionMatch, used with the existing MotionView, takes all the guess work out of pairing a servo drive and a motor, plus the user can now configure the drive with infinite ease.

“Our application engineers often get asked about the right size motor for a customer’s application; unfortunately, however, the question usually comes after some failure has occurred” says Hanesian. Deb Kling, Lenze-AC Tech Marketing Manager, agrees, “With thousands of drive and motor combinations to choose from, it is no wonder that customers get frustrated with the selection process; with MotionMatch, all you need to do is enter your application requirements and the program will return the compatible servo drive-motor combinations.”

Hanesian and Kling say that Lenze-AC Tech customers have been using MotionView to configure the PositionServo drive since the software’s introduction in 2001. “The success of MotionView lies in its intuitive WindowsTM-based menu and the ability to fully program the drive from a PC, “says Hanesian. Kling calls the pairing of MotionMatch and MotionView “a marriage made in machine heaven.”
