Safety at a new level. With the 6th generation of its drive controllers, STÖBER offers innovative solutions for the increasing demands in automation and mechanical engineering. With the SX6 safety module, all STÖBER drive controllers can be used in safety-related applications up to SIL 3, PL e (Cat. 4) in accordance with DIN 61800-5-2 and EN ISO 13849-1. The module monitors movements, reliably guides axes to safe states and can be seamlessly integrated into EtherCAT-based automation systems via the integrated Fail Safe over EtherCAT (FSoE) interface. Many ways to achieve machine safety. The SX6 enables the classic stop functions Safe Torque Off (STO), Safe Stop 1 (SS1) and Safe Stop 2 (SS2). A special highlight: with multi-axis controllers, the STO function can be activated individually for each axis. In addition, Safely Limited Speed (SLS) and Safe Speed Range (SSR) ensure that the projected speed limits are always adhered to. Safe Direction (SDI) monitors the direction of movement, while Safely Limited Increment (SLI) limits the step size and Safe Operating Stop (SOS) ensures a safe standstill.

Frameless motors have only two main components - stator and rotor - in common with conventional motors. This is a decisive advantage when it comes to tailor-cut design and individual integration into customer-specific systems. Due to the direct integration into machines or device assemblies and the hollow shaft concept with cable, compressed air, vacuum, fiber optic and laser feedthroughs, frameless motors require very little space. At the same time, they are highly efficient and durable and run stably and reliably in quiet operation. The KOCO MOTION motors are characterized by an immediate peak torque of up to 2400 Nm, a maximum motor speed of up to 900 rpm and a high level of user-friendliness. The frameless motors are also highly precise. They are backlash-free during high-precision and high-speed operations and have an extremely high level of positioning accuracy. KOCO MOTION supports and advises on the optimal design and integration of the modularly configurable frameless motors into customer systems. Since the compact motors are used in a wide variety of industries, such as robotics, mechanical engineering, packaging technology, semiconductor manufacturing or medical technology, it is important to precisely adapt and select all the necessary motor components. This is the only way to really get the best out of the frameless motor.

TECHNOSOFT is pleased to inform all its partners that selected products of the iPOS servo drive family now benefit from the certification for the STO (Safe Torque Off) capability. As part of the company’s effort to continually improve our product offering while meeting market demands for integrated safety, TECHNOSOFT can now propose two versions of the iPOS4808 MY family that benefit from a high degree of performance from the STO implementation point of view : SIL3 and PLe in accordance with the EN 61800-5-2 standard.The Safe Torque Off function safely validates the pulses controlling the power stage of the drive. When activated, the drive is reliably torque-free. This state is monitored internally in the drive. The STO function is implemented using simple solid state hardware for high reliability reasons. Since on the classic safety circuit the redundancy is done by 2 contactors connected in series with the motor, on the integrated STO function the redundancy is done using 2 separate STO opto-isolated inputs. If both STO inputs are in “high” state, the motor is allowed to generate torque. If at least one of the 2 STO inputs are not in “high” state, the power stage will become inactive (no pulses controlling the power stage) and the motor will be free of torque. The advantage of the integrated STO (SIL3, Cat3, PL-e) safety function compared with electromechanical safety technology based on contactors is the elimination of separate electromechanical components and the effort that would be required to wire and service them. The electrical arching is totally eliminated. The overall dimensions of the integrated STO solution are highly reduced, while the cost reduction is also very important compared to classic electromechanical technology.
