Product Information
High-power torque control is enabled by a 132 kW output and 260 A input current. This combination delivers smooth acceleration, precise speed regulation, and reduced mechanical wear, translating to higher line throughput and longer equipment life. In packaging lines, pumps, and metal forming processes, this capability minimizes torque ripples and downtime, enabling tighter process windows. Energy efficiency enhancements and optional regenerative braking reduce overall energy consumption and drive cabinet heat, contributing to lower operating costs and improved plant reliability. Installation and commissioning are simplified by a compact footprint and standard wiring practices, accelerating panel assembly and reducing on-site risk during start-up. Built-in protection features and fault detection improve machine uptime by early fault signaling and safe shutdown, lowering maintenance surprises and safeguarding critical assets. Remote diagnostics and software updates streamline service, enabling proactive maintenance and rapid issue resolution without onsite visits, which improves overall return on investment and long-term performance in automation environments.
