Keb extends its COMBIVERT F6 range of drive controllers
Keb says that its COMBIVERT F6 drive controllers are extremely compact, energy efficient and flexible for a wide variety of control applications in automated, safety-oriented machines. The drives provide optimal motor control in real time, as well as integrated safety functionality. Typical applications include materials handling, textiles, plastics, processing technology, machine tools, food and beverage processing and packaging, robotics, woodworking, and renewable energy systems (for example, wind turbines).
Mark Checkley, Keb (UK) managing director, comments: “The extended power ranges will enable our UK customers to implement even more new machine concepts that require extended power, communication and integrated safety. In addition to the control of widely-supported motor types such as synchronous, asynchronous, permanent magnet, synchronous reluctance, linear, high-torque motors and high speed motors, the COMBIVERT F6 offers additional functions such as automatic anti-cogging and optimised torque pre-control for linear and non-linear kinematics. Motor operation with encoder feedback or encoderless ASCL/SCL for precise speed control is also possible.”
The COMBIVERT F6 range of drive controllers are 100% in-house designed and built by Keb Automation. The drives can be customised with a variety of design options to suit the specific application. Safety functionality can be selected in modules to suit the requirements of the machine. Ethernet-based bus systems can be switched via software, thus enabling flexible connection to higher-level control systems via EtherCAT, Profinet, Powerlink, Ethernet I/P or CAN.
