Keba (LTI-Motion)
Focus on energy efficiency
With the ServoOne CM, Keba has a servo drive system in its range that offers machine manufacturers many options for increasing the energy efficiency of their machines.
In the multi-axis system, one supply unit feeds all connected servo controllers and frequency inverters with energy. This means that axes running in generator mode can supply motorized axes with energy. Both the power consumed from the mains and the braking power are reduced.
According to Keba Industrial Automation(LTI-Motion), if large amounts of braking energy are still being generated, the system also offers active supply units that are able to feed regenerative energy back into the grid in a sinusoidal form, thereby improving the machine's energy balance. Alternatively, storage managers and storage modules are available that store this regenerative energy and make it available to the system again when required. In addition to saving energy, it is also possible to operate a machine for several minutes after a power failure if the project is planned appropriately in order to complete a process once it has started.
Note from the editors:
At SPS 2019, the Austrian company Keba announced the acquisition of servo drive technology manufacturer LTI Motion. Since then, LTI Motion has been operating under the name Keba Industrial Automation Germany.
