1st Quarter 2018Electrical switching & drive systems & components
Today, machinery construction OEMs are facing special challenges. The goal is to produce even more quickly at lower cost, while at the same time satisfying the highest quality demands. As a consequence, systems that couple maximum efficiency with simple engineering and intuitive operation are demanded. The versatile Sinamics S210 servo drive system is as compact and easy to handle as it is powerful. The single-axis Sinamics S210 converter is connected to the Simotics S-1FK2 servomotor specifically developed for it, using just one spacesaving cable to connect the motor and servo drive to transfer energy, connect an encoder and control the brake.
Commissioning is completely intuitive using a web server and One Button Tuning or via the Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal). Selectable dynamic levels to adapt the converter to the required machine dynamics allow the controller settings to be simply optimised. Sinamics S210 presently addresses a power range from 50 to 750 W. The system is mainly for dynamic, discontinuous applications in machinery construction. The integrated safety functions come with STO (Safe Torque Off) and SS1 (Safe Stop 1) as standard.
Sinamics S210 fully leverages its strengths when the application involves precise positioning and motion control. Even with the highest dynamic performance, all motion sequences are executed with the utmost precision. With its powerful performance, Sinamics S210 is convincing in packaging machines as well as in handling systems, in woodworking and plastics processing, as well as in digital printing.
