Highly dynamic, durable and economical

Thanks to their low moment of inertia, the synchronous servo motors of the LD series accelerate quickly, thereby increasing machine productivity. A new mechanical structure also means it is now possible to integrate a permanent magnet brake. As a result, the brake attachment is backlash-free and causes no abrasion, increasing the life cycle of the LD motor. Synchronous servo motors of the LD series are undemanding in terms of adverse ambient conditions, space and installation position.

Efficient and customized

In the motors of the LD series, innovative technologies are combined with new materials to ensure even better heat dissipation, for example, increasing efficiency not just in the drives but in the overall system. The motors achieve a higher level of efficiency across the entire power range, reducing power loss by a third. The synchronous servo motors can be tailored precisely to your requirements.

Straightforward installation

The well-established iSA has been further evolved to create the decentralized power supply ihP. With an output of eight kilowatts and double overload capacity, it is now possible to connect even more axes. This plug-and-play device offers complete plug-in capability, collects all input signals – fieldbus, 24 V DC, 3 × 400 V, STO – and provides decentralized drives with all the relevant signals via the hybrid cable connection. As a result, the ihP requires little space and reduces costs.

Robust and energy-efficient

In harsh ambient conditions, the decentralized power supply is protected by its dustproof and water-jet-protected IP65 housing. The device is resistant to shock and vibration resistant, too. Motion control and energy recovery are integrated in the lightweight aluminum housing. The integrated gateway function to master controllers simplifies and relieves the machine control. Thanks to external DC bus capacity, the system can be designed to be application-specific and energy-optimized, thereby ensuring flexibility and energy efficiency.

A single program to meet all needs

AMKmotion products can be configured, parameterized and diagnosed using the cross-product engineering tool AIPEX 5. Fully web-based and platform-neutral, it offers tools for startup and maintenance. AIPEX also provides analysis methods such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and filter settings for automatic adaptation of mechanical and electrical sections. The integrated oscilloscope enables signal processing of several axes in real time. A remote maintenance function is also included.

AIPEX 5 supports all common communication interfaces and offers a user-friendly graphic interface.

Flexible. A combination of the compact power supply (KE) and the compact inverter (KW) form the servo drive system, which is rounded off by the flexible controller cards. Functional safety can be integrated as an option.

Highly dynamic. The compact power supply generates the DC link and supplies the compact inverters with power. Surplus energy can be fed back into the grid or stored temporarily.

Individually scalable. The main task of the compact inverters is to control the connected servo motors. In this case, an inverter can control one or more servo motors. As one power supply module is able to supply several inverters, it is possible to implement a scalable servo drive system.

Minimal cabling effort

The distinctive feature of the decentralized ihD servo inverter is its hybrid cabling concept. A single cable transmits power, STO (Safe Torque Off), 24 volts and communication in equal measure, connecting all interlinked components using the daisy chain method. This significantly reduces installation effort. Compared to a centralized concept, it saves up to 70 percent of cabling costs.

Flexible and robust

The ihD is available as a standalone version or mounted on the DT motor series as the ihD-DT5. It offers the user a wide range of power ratings and a high degree of flexibility: with a rated current of eight amps, even a triple overload does not push the device to its limits. This gives the user greater freedom and flexibility when it comes to designing drive axes. Thanks to its EMC-compatible aluminum housing, enhanced protection class IP65 and resistance to shock and vibration, even harsh operating conditions are not a particular challenge for the ihD.
