Automation solution
The SIMOTION Motion Control system offers, in combination with the SINAMICS S120 drive system and the 1FK7/1FT7 motors optimized for a highly dynamic response, powerful complete solutions for unloading units. For vertical axes, the motors can be fitted with integral holding brakes. All the functions necessary for controlling the holding brakes are included in the drive system. Linear motors are available for maximum performance requirements. Safety-related functions such as reliable protection against restarting or safely reduced velocity are available in the SINAMICS S120 drive system. Portable handheld units (e.g. Mobile Panel 277) can be connected, if required.
