High-performance drive solutions are crucial for efficient and automated production processes. In order to optimally equip tomorrow’s machines for demanding motion tasks, Lenze is expanding its portfolio with a new servo inverter: The i750 cabinet for motion control applications, in combination with modern Lenze controller, solves almost all automation tasks for dynamic multi-axis applications.
Thanks to more than 75 years of experience in drive technology, Lenze offers a powerful solution for motion control applications with its i750 cabinet multi-axis servo inverter. Björn Maltzahn, Motion Control Product Manager at Lenze, explains: “Our new servo inverter represents a consistent evolutionary development of our portfolio. The i750 masters complex applications and offers mechanical engineers new design scope for future-proof solutions.”
Automation at the highest level
The servo inverter boasts outstanding precision and dynamics and allows operators to increase the cycle rates of their machines by up to 20 percent. In combination with a Lenze controller, the auto-tuning function also makes commissioning much easier and improves machine efficiency. The i750 product range consists of power supply modules and single and double axes, which are operated in a DC network. Key features are a narrow width and extensive integrated safety technology. The units can be used universally in the power range from 1.1 to 15 kilowatts for single axes and from 1.1 to 7.5 kilowatts for double axes. Between 22 and 110 kilowatts, the i950 cabinet servo inverter acts as a power extension.
Unbeatable package
Björn Maltzahn reports: “The i750 offers all the advantages of an open EtherCAT CiA402 interface and is used in centrally controlled system architectures. Its full potential becomes apparent in conjunction with the Lenze controls, making it an indispensable element in sophisticated automation systems. Users benefit from both maximum accuracy and higher throughput.”
One-cable technology throughout
The i750 servo inverter series supports the operation of motors spanning the entire power range using one-cable technology (OCT). Björn Maltzahn: “One-cable technology saves users more than half the installation effort as well as valuable space in their control cabinets.”
Safe choice for the future
The servo inverter’s integrated safety functions cover a broad range of safety-related machine applications. As a result, the device meets safety-related requirements up to safety integrity level 3 (SIL 3) and performance level e (PL e). Even more extensive options to safeguard machine functions are provided by extended safety functions such as safe-limited speed (SLS), safe direction (SDI), and safe-limited position (SLP).
