Drive technology through consistent decentralisation

By OEM Update Editorial May 9, 2019 6:10 pm IST

The AMP8000 distributed servo drive system provides ideal support for the implementation of modular machine concepts. With the new AMP8620 supply module in a high protection rating, the entire system can now be relocated directly to the machine, i.e. through consistent decentralisation, drive technology can be implemented entirely without control cabinets. That means maximum possible savings on material, space, costs and assembly work.

While previously with the coupling modules, the requirements for connecting distributed AMP8000 drives to the control cabinet were already reduced to just one cable, they can now be completely eliminated when the AMP8620 supply module is used. Eliminating the need for a control cabinet further reduces the floor space and cabling requirements for the entire machine. The air conditioning resources, which would otherwise be necessary for control cabinet cooling, can also be eliminated.
