Sieb & Meyer Adds New Options Module to SD3 Servo Amplifier

SIEB & MEYER AG has launched a new optional module for its SD3 servo amplifier, aimed at applications within screw, press, and lifting technology.

The new module features two transducer interfaces that enable direct evaluation of active and passive torque transducers. This eliminates the need for costly external evaluation electronics and significantly reduces cabling and component requirements. "Servo amplifiers are often used for processing tasks where expertise lies in the motion profile and the evaluation of process variables," said Torsten Blankenburg, Chief Technology Officer at SIEB & MEYER AG. "This optional module fills a gap."

Direct integration of the interfaces within the servo amplifier and application program enhances evaluation quality, as it occurs in system clock time without additional latency. This saves on hardware costs and allows application programming within a single system. Furthermore, the new HIPERFACE DSL® motor feedback interface supports motor connection via single-cable technology.

The SD3 servo amplifier addresses complex drive tasks, such as servo-motorized screwing, pressing, or lifting equipment. It is used, for example, in the servo lifting systems of an American supplier, assisting workers in production environments with heavy load lifting. The device meets high demands for precision, speed, and safety, and supports Industry 4.0 compatibility.
