Current productsNews from drive technology
Without drive technology - in the truest sense of the word - nothing would turn in most machines and systems. Computer&AUTOMATION presents the latest innovations in this automation discipline in a series of pictures.

With "Generation 6", Stöber offers drive controllers for high-performance systems and multi-axis applications as well as for compact modules. The series rely on the STO (Safe Torque Off) function for safety, are certified in accordance with EN 13849-1 at performance level e (Cat. 4) and can be used without cyclical function tests. The 45 mm wide SC6 drive controller with integrated power supply is available as a single or double-axis controller with a rated output current of up to 19 A. The stand-alone device is suitable for drive-based applications with two to four axes, such as those found in robotics in particular. The series is also used in combination with the supplier's LeanMotor, for example for energy-efficient transport systems. The LeanMotor can also be controlled with the "SI6". Designed as a drive controller in modular technology, it is just as wide and compact as the "SC6"; however, it is available as a single or double-axis controller with a rated output current of up to 50 A. The individual devices are connected to each other and to the central "PS6" supply module via Quick DC Link modules. Both the LeanMotor, which requires only one cable for operation thanks to its encoderless design, and synchronous servomotors can be operated with the SI6 and SC6 drive controllers using Hiperface DSL as a One Cable Solution. The third series of the new generation is the stand-alone device SD6. This single-axis controller with a rated output current of up to 85 A is primarily used in drive-based applications. This includes, for example, the synchronous operation of up to 32 axes in electronic gearboxes or flying saws.
