With the ibaMAQS modular system, iba has raised the bar in the field of measurement technology. This flexible system enables user-specific solutions and is both scalable and perfectly tuned for demanding tasks. It impresses with extremely easy handling, 24-bit resolution, calibrated A/D converters, individual electrical isolation per channel and fast, synchronous data acquisition. One processor module can be combined with up to 15 different I/O modules. Modules are available for discrete input and output signals as well as for special technological features.

Maximum flexibility One particular highlight of the ihD is its adaptable connection technology: the input hybrid connector can be configured to face either the rear or the top, depending on the installation. In the stand-alone version of the ihD, a 300-degree rotatable plug is also available for motor and encoder connections. This makes integration into existing machine concepts much easier, saving both space and cabling. Minimal cabling effort The distinctive feature of the decentralized ihD servo inverter is its hybrid cabling concept. A single cable transmits power, STO (Safe Torque Off), 24 volts and communication in equal measure, connecting all interlinked components using the daisy chain method. This significantly reduces installation effort. Compared to a centralized concept, it saves up to 70 percent of cabling costs. Flexible and robust The ihD is available as a stand-alone version or as motor-integrated version ihD-DT5. It offers the user a wide range of power ratings and a high degree of flexibility: with a rated current of eight amps, even a triple overload* does not push the device to its limits. This gives the user greater freedom and flexibility when it comes to designing drive axes. Thanks to its EMC-compatible aluminum housing, enhanced protection class IP65 and resistance to shock and vibration, even harsh operating conditions are not a particular challenge for the ihD. *depending on device version

The NC joining module Integrated Joining System IJSys Type 2168A... with integrated servo amplifier, strain gauge force sensor, and functional safety for a nominal joining force of 2.5 kN is particularly suitable for force-displacement-monitored assembly and joining processes. - Standardized interface according to ISO 15552 - Force sensor for precise measurement and process control - Easy installation thanks to integrated power electronics - High dynamics thanks to direct drive - Compact design The Integrated Joining System IJSys Type 2168A... electromechanical joining modules combine all the components necessary for a reliable joining process in a compact and robust housing. The ball screw drive converts the rotary motion of the integrated servomotor into linear motion, enabling standard functions such as joining to block, position and force-controlled joining, as well as movement to intermediate positions. Force measurement is performed by the strain gauge force sensor integrated in the flange, which is digitized directly in the unit. In addition to the sensor- and drive technology, the safety technology required for operation is also integrated. Safe Torque Off (STO) and a holding brake with Safe Brake Control (SBC) are available for this purpose. Correct wiring of the safety technology, a 24 VDC supply to the logic, and a 48 VDC supply to the power unit are required for operation. Communication with the joining module takes place in real time via EtherCAT. In addition to force-displacement information, control and status signals are also transmitted. In combination with maXYmos NC Type 5847C... from variant C0 onwards, all known options for process control and monitoring are available. The fieldbus slave interfaces provided enable communication with the system via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or EtherCAT. The Ethernet interface can be used to transfer quality data via various protocols, as well as for visualization via VNC and data backups.

The industrial inkjet printer JOKER marks quickly and with high resolution. Using solvent ink, the Hi-Res system is able to print precisely on smooth, non-absorbent as well as absorbent surfaces. The intermediate tank and double nozzle channels make the JOKER process reliable in many ways. Particularly for direct labeling on secondary packaging and in the logistics sector. Almost independent of the surface, the JOKER replaces expensive and environmentally critical labels with direct printing.
