Drive Integrates Safety

July 3, 2009
The IndraDrive with Safety-On-Board features Safe Motion technology, a reliable safety solution directly in the drive that incorporates the most advanced integrated safety functions and complies with the latest international standards for safe stopping and safe motion, says the vendor.
These capabilities are available on a common platform that functions as a servo-drive or frequency converter, thus lowering the overall cost of integration and deployment for the machine builder while providing the latest safe motion technology to the end-user. The IndraDrive with Safety-On-Board is said to have reaction times up to 400 times faster than conventional solutions that use contactors to produce a safe stop.
