Flexibility meets functionality

Brand new in the Stöber range is the stand-alone device SB6, which is suitable for applications with up to four axes and is characterized by its high control performance. The particularly compact and economically attractive drive controller impresses with its numerous configuration options, which enable perfect motion control via CiA 402 and Profidrive. The SB6 is predestined for special machine manufacturers who have to react flexibly to the changing requirements of their clientele.

With the new SB6 from Stöber, designers always have the right drive controller at hand for applications with one to four axes. The stand-alone solution has numerous configuration options. The series is available in three sizes for small to medium power. Both linear and rotary synchronous servo motors and lean motors can be controlled. The new controller is particularly impressive due to its compact dimensions. This means that it fits in control cabinets with installation depths of 210 millimeters or more.

The drive controller can also be expanded to include the safety standards STO and SS1 via Fail Safe over EtherCAT (FsoE) and PROFIsafe up to SIL 3, PL e (category 4). A safety module for control via digital inputs and outputs is also available. In addition, the SB6 is optionally available with an operating unit consisting of a text display and buttons.

Another special feature is the number of digital and analog inputs and outputs. Stöber thus offers a functional, flexible drive controller that companies can use in different applications. For quick, automated commissioning and uncomplicated service, an SD card can simply be inserted into the drive controller as application storage and thus configurations can be transferred.

In combination with One Cable Solution (OCS) and EnDat 3, the new SB6 reliably supports power lengths of up to 100 meters. Stöber developed the hybrid cable in coordination with the encoder manufacturer Heidenhain. In combination with its gear motors, Stöber offers a completely coordinated system from a single source. Firmware-based Ethercat and Profinet are available for connection to a higher-level control system.
