B&R ACOPOS Drive Module 8V1180.001-2 The Ultimate Protection for Industrial Motion Control in Challenging Environments

B&R ACOPOS Drive Module 8V1180.001-2: Precision Armor for Critical Automation Environments

The Gold Standard in Environmentally Hardened Motion Control

Where standard industrial drives falter under chemical exposure, condensation, and particulate infiltration, the B&R ACOPOS Drive Module 8V1180.001-2 delivers uncompromised 9A continuous/27A peak performance in the world's most demanding industrial settings. Engineered as the fortified variant of B&R's legacy ACOPOS platform, this servo drive integrates nano-polymer conformal coating, medical-grade sealing, and SIL 3 safety systems to excel in pharmaceutical cleanrooms, food processing washdowns, and semiconductor manufacturing. With 50µs control cycles and <90ns POWERLINK synchronization, it maintains micron-level precision where temperature swings, corrosive agents, and sterilization protocols destroy conventional drives.
