Guide To Suppliers

It can often feel quite challenging to understand the variety of options available in network communications. We had the chance to chat with Mark Checkley, Managing Director of KEB, about the options that KEB offers its customers. So, if like the Publisher of DPA, network communication choices seem quite confusing to you, then this video gives really useful and worthwhile insight.

When it comes to absorbing short-peak currents, braking resistors already mounted on the inverter are a good choice. However, when operating inverters, braking resistors can also become thermally overloaded – with costly consequences. A special feature in the COMBIVERT F6 drive controllers from KEB Automation solves this problem.

When it comes to material, surface and solid wood processing, choosing the right drive solution for the woodworking machine is critical. As different as the requirements for the drive controllers are, one topic is always important: ensuring the highest possible level of safety, says Mark Checkley, Managing Director of KEB UK.

Industry accounts for 38 percent of energy consumption in Germany. One way to reduce energy consumption and conserve resources is to convert factories from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).

Conventional vehicles in urban traffic consume a large part of the energy for the auxiliary drives alone. In order to reduce emissions and costs, KEB Automation uses an inverter system for the electrification of air compressors, power steering pumps, and co. This enables buses to reach a new level of sustainability.

KEB Automation has supplied drive controllers, mains filters and chokes to Vecoplan, a specialist manufacturer of shredding machines used by the recycling industry. The COMBIVERT F6 drive controllers from KEB were selected due to their ability to deliver high-performance dynamics under harsh machine operating conditions.

In today’s industrial marketplace, it can be confusing and challenging to choose the correct motor for an application. As well as all the different types of motor, the information provided on each is often either too basic or too technical to be helpful. In this article, Mike Keefe of KEB America explains the differences between stepper and servo motors, and when it is appropriate to use each technology.

Many processes, particularly those that occur cyclically, have a high potential for regenerative energy that could be utilised easily and efficiently.
