Latecomer ABB aims to take 10% of the servo drive market

摘要

ABB HAS made a belated entry into the servo drives sector with the ambitious aim of capturing 10% of the USD1.78bn global market by 2010. The company has invested around USD15m and devoted more than 150 man-years of engineering effort to develop its new Machinery Drive - first seen at the recent SPS/IPC/Drives Show (see Drives & Controls, January). ABB has now revealed more details about the modular drive, and how it plans to grab a large slice of the servo drives business. If it hits its 10% target, ABB will probably become one of the world's top three servo drive suppliers.
