Technical Paper on DriveLine AG25 & AG26

Compact positioning drive ensures optimal setup times for machines
In spite of their minimal size, the advanced Type AG25 and AG26 compact-positioning drives are available with a torque of up to 13Nm. The drives have a hollow shaft with a clamping ring for easy installation.
The engine, transmission, power electronics and bus interface are integrated into the actuators in a confined space, so that only the bus connection and a 24V DC power supply have to be supplied in the field. Thus, the entire system costs for integration in the machine will be drastically reduced over those costs for a discrete assembly.
Despite their high functionality and performance, the AG25 actuators take up no more space than a 0.33 liter beverage can. Thus, the actuators are ideally suited for fully automatic format adjustment in machines and equipment that have space limitations. The AG26 is built slightly larger.
Not to be forgotten is the integrated, high-precision multi-turn absolute encoder that detects the position of the drive shaft and the rotation of the shaft in the de-energized state of the actuator. Even large traverse ranges of up to about 2500 revolutions pose no difficulties.
In addition to the long-standing SIKONET5, Profibus and CAN data interfaces, SIKO has also implemented the most common industrial Ethernet fieldbus interfaces: Profinet, EthernetIP, EtherCAT and POWERLINK. For this, the positioning drives are equipped with two M12 D-coded bus connections, without the need for star-wiring for control.
The drive without controls can be accessed via the serial service interface. This is ideally suited for commissioning and testing purposes along with SIKO’s ProTool DriveLine tool and the AIF01 interface adapter. Of course, the actuators AG25 and/or AG26 can be configured and parameterized directly via the master PLC.
The service terminal also makes a freely configurable digital output and four freely configurable digital inputs available.
Four LEDs indicate important port and switch status information in the field. The bus address can be set at will by means of DIP switches. The drive can be directly traversed to adjust the settings by using the two pushbuttons that are built-in under a cover.

The drives are available up to protection class IP65, which is also guaranteed during the traverse operation.
The integration into various safety concepts is very easy to implement, since the power supply for the control and power electronics is done separately. The integrated control electronics significantly relieve the load from the master PLC. Moreover, monitoring functions are already integrated into the drive for temperature, power and lag errors.
The applications of AG25 and AG26 actuators are the adjustment of formats, stops, tools and valves. These, and a whole series of similar positioning tasks, are used in the packaging and woodworking industries, for printing and paper processing, the food and beverage industry, in the textile industry and in electronics manufacturing.

A large number of SIKO actuators are still being used in automated format adjustment by renowned tire manufacturers.
