Utilising the robust, maintenance-free asynchronous motor in combination with
COMBIVERT digital drives, it is now possible to incorporate these drives into
fields of application where in the past service intensive DC or expensive servo
technology have been the only options.
As a manufacturer of frequency inverters, servo systems and geared motors KEB
has built up 25 years experience in solving drives applications. Using this
knowledge as a basis, KEB has developed the new generation regulated inverter
series COMBIVERT F4.
KEB COMBIVERT F4-F
The system is easy:
- reliable incremental or Sin/CosgFico9er feedback gives rotor speed
- fast current and speed regulationnenables exact control of the rotating
field in the motor which ensures optimum motor performance.
- the heart of the COMBIVERT consists of the clip-set KEB-MFC/DSP and the
VeCon analogue processor and gives the benefits of
- accurate speed holding for grinding drives
- rugged mechanic and around the clock availability for steel industries
- tension control for winding application
- rated motor torque at standstill for lifts, cranes and hoists
- high peak torque capacity of acceleration of tools in machining centres
- low noise for theatre and stage
The principle of field-orientated control requires frequent measurements of
voltage, current and rotor speed. The microprocessor then performs fast
calculations and compares to an adaptive motor model. This method derives the
applications exact torque, speed and power requirements and therefore provides
new regulation values for the motor, ensuring maximum performance.
Field-orientated technology has the ability to accurately control the motor
magnetising flux and hence motor torque. The powerful microprocessor used can
also achieve "PLC" functions, programmable I/O, timers etc. thus
creating the unique possibility of networking or machine control without
se-perate "PLC".
Optimum performance is guaranteed when using the "matched"
combination of KEB COMBIVERT and eiher KEB servo-motor or KEB COMBIGEAR geared
motor. As a result it is often possible to use a drive combination of a smaller
kW rating.
The benefits for the user are reduced investment, quick pay back, extended
maintenance and service intervals, easy adaption to new requirements, low
expenditure for training and commissioning.
Energy efficient solution as complete drive resources are used reducing power
requirement and running costs.
