Drive technology - the winners!
It was an exciting neck-and-neck race in the drive technology category. Here is an overview of the winners.
3rd place: The KeDrive D3 servo drive system in Keba's range offers machine manufacturers many options for increasing the energy efficiency of their machines. In the multi-axis system, one supply unit feeds all connected drive controllers for synchronous and asynchronous motors with energy. This means that axes running in generator mode can supply motorized axes with energy. More...
Anni Tonigold, Marketing Communications, and Jörg Brinkemper, Strategic Product Manager for Drive Systems at Keba, accepted the trophy and spoke about the company's future roadmap.
2nd place in the drive technology category
2nd place: The 'Dias-Drive' generation MDD 2000 from Sigmatek is a modular multi-axis servo system that can be operated in single or three-phase with 230 to 480 V(AC). In addition to one to three axes, power supply, mains filter, braking resistor and DC link are also on board - on 75 mm x 240 mm x 219 mm in size 1. More...
Sigmatek Managing Director Alexander Melkus accepted the trophy for 2nd place in the drive technology category for the multi-axis servo system and explained the advantages of the high power density for various applications.
1st place in the drive technology category
1st place: Lenze has expanded the 'i500' frequency inverter family with the decentralized variant i550 protec in IP66 and networked with IO-Link. The company is starting with a power range up to 2.2 kW, with a gradual expansion up to 75 kW planned. If an IO-Link master is already in use in a network, the frequency inverter can be connected at the same time - independently of the higher-level controller. More...
Frank Maier, Technical Director, Peter Blatter, Product Manager, and
Ines Oppermann, Head of Trade Press and Social Media at Lenze, were delighted with the reader award. Frank Maier also gave an exclusive preview of new products and further developments.
