Enable diverse solutions

Keba, the automation expert with headquarters in Linz, Austria, is expanding its drive portfolio to include the single-axis servo controllers of the KeDrive D5 series. These fit seamlessly into the open automation platform Kemro X. In addition to the compact multi-axis drive system KeDrive D3 and the three-axis controller KeDrive D3-AC, the KeDrive D5 is now a single-axis drive system that enables a wide range of drive solutions.

The latest product in the KeDrive product family impresses with its high dynamics and precision thanks to high-performance motor control for synchronous, asynchronous, linear and torque motors. With its Ethernet-based fieldbus interface and CANopen, the KeDrive D5 can also be easily connected to 3rd party controllers. The wide supply voltage range from 24 V DC to 480 V AC makes the KeDrive D5 suitable for a wide range of applications in the low-voltage and extra-low voltage range. Various options ensure great flexibility and future security - such as an encoder simulation for easy synchronization of several axes or a multi-encoder interface for position detection on the load.

For the machine builder, the new single-axis controller represents an interesting alternative to the KeDrive D3 multi-axis controller in applications with a small number of axes. In device and equipment construction, the KeDrive D5 scores with low leakage currents and compactness. The new series is on average only half the size of the well-known ServoOne. Thanks to the integrated mains filter, the user can easily comply with EMC standards, even for residential areas.
