Schneider Electric has launched its new AltivarTM Machine ATV320, a variable speed drive that meets simple and advanced application requirements from 0.18 to 15 kW (0.25 to 20 Hp). The new entrant is a part of the Altivar Machine product range. It is designed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of machines, while optimising design and engineering costs for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Both book and compact form factors are engineered for easy, cost-effective integration with practically any machine layout and for placement inside either cabinets or machine frames. Additionally, Altivar Machine variable speed drives enhance motor control performance by reducing application task cycle time (1ms) in synchronous and asynchronous motors.  Also the new drive features robust design and enhanced safety features.
