KEB Automation at the SPS 2024
The Combivert F6 drive controllers and the S6 servo drives from KEB Automation are getting new features. Among other things, users can expect features such as DC connectivity, CAN cross-communication, Profidrive and a new dashboard.

As a high-current variant, the 'SD4B' drive controller from Sieb & Meyer extends the range of possible applications: as a servo amplifier for operating rotary and linear low-voltage servo motors or as a frequency inverter for high-speed low-voltage synchronous and asynchronous motors.

Hollow shaft rotary tables from Oriental Motor's 'DGII' series are now also available in combination with the servomotors from the 'AZX' series for high torques in the upper speed range.

With the 'LD' series, RK Rose+Krieger offers electric cylinders that are suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

The Austrian company Bachmann electronic, which specializes in automation technology for maritime applications, renewable energies and industry, is opening a branch in Norway.

Bosch Rexroth is launching linear motor modules (LMM) onto the market. Available in sizes 140, 180 and 220, the axes with backlash-free direct drive are available in all sizes with iron-core linear motors.

According to the manufacturer, the new incremental encoder from Oriental Motor is particularly suitable for use in predictive maintenance thanks to its precision in measuring speed, position and direction of rotation.
Beckhoff relies on consistent multicore and multitask support in its current 'TwinCAT MC3' Motion Control generation. Thanks to its modular architecture, axes implemented with 'TwinCAT NC2' can also be seamlessly integrated.

Performance Motion Devices (PMD) has launched the 'ION/CME N-Series' digital drive on the European market - single-axis motion controllers with integrated power electronics and network communication.
