General Precautions In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, the following
statements which are general to the system must be read and understood.
ATTENTION: Only personnel familiar with the 8510 AC
Drive System and associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance
of the system. Failure to comply may result in personal injury
and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: An incorrectly applied or installed drive can
result in component damage or a reduction in product life.
Wiring or application errors, such as, undersizing the motor,
incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient
temperatures may result in malfunction of the system.
ATTENTION: This drive contains ESD (Electrostatic
Discharge) sensitive parts and assemblies. Static control
precautions are required when installing, testing, servicing or
repairing this assembly. Component damage may result if ESD
control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar
with static control procedures, reference A-B publication
8000-4.5.2, Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage or any
other applicable ESD protection handbook.

Drive Overview The Allen-Bradley Series 8510 AC Spindle Drive System is designed to
meet the requirements of world-class machine tools. The 8510 consists of
a rugged, AC spindle motor and a state-of-the-art digital AC drive. The
system has been optimized to provide the highest level of performance
combined with outstanding reliability.
The 8510 is fully microprocessor controlled and has the features required
by modern, high capacity machine tools including:
l Four quadrant, line regenerative operation for high cycle rate
applications.
l Extremely high dynamic performance for smooth operation under
widely varying machining conditions.
l A “wireless” power structure maximizes reliability.
l High frequency IGBT power devices minimize audible motor noise.
l Through-the-wall heat sinks remove most drive heat from the cabinet.
l Universal analog and discrete I/O interface adapts easily to CNC
systems.
