Frequency Converter SD4B

Frequency converter SD4B by SIEB & MEYER, the successor of SD2B plus, can be used as a highly dynamic servo amplifier for the operation of rotary and linear low-voltage servo motors as well as for optimized operation of high-speed low-voltage synchronous and asynchronous motors and of IPM motors. On the control side, the SD4B enables the operation up to a rotating field frequency of 4,000 Hz (240,000 rpm), which is a unique feature in the market and allows customers to create new system designs.

Due to this motors can be operated speed-controlled and torque-controlled even from speed zero. The safety function Safe Torque Off (STO) is integrated as standard in the device to allow low-cost realization of the steadily increasing demands towards machine safety. 

In the high-speed range, the SD4B allows sensor-based operation of motors with superimposed synchronization based on 24 V synchronization signals. Thus, several high-speed motors can be operated with angular synchronism via master/slave connection, which is useful in the field of optical systems, for example. The robust speed control also permits high mass inertia ratios between motor and tool of up to 1:100.

Starting in early 2023, the NRTL/CSA certification, which is currently being applied for, enables users to integrate the devices into systems for the US market without additional approvals.

The Space Marvel

Frequency Converter SD4B comes with an IP20 housing and stands out for its compact design: thanks to its width of only 25 mm, the device requires very little installation space. In addition, the frequency converter is equipped with an internal logic voltage supply - there is no need for an additional external 24 VDC supply. 

The SD4B is equipped with the STO safety function as well as CANopen, Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP as standard. An EtherCAT interface is offered as an option, PROFINET and POWERLINK are in preparation. In addition to the TTL encoder inputs and outputs, five digital inputs/outputs each as well as an Ethernet interface for easy parameterization are available to the users.

Applications

  • High-speed spindles are the key components of a machine tool. Only when operated in an optimal way, the desired machining accuracy, productivity and service life of the whole machine is guaranteed. 

     

    Drilling, Routing

  • For dressing applications, it is essential to keep the spindle temperature low: a temperature increase in the spindle causes a longitudinal growth and therefore a shift of the tool position. 

     

    Dressing

  • Small CAD/CAM routing machines are used, for example, in dental laboratories for jewelry making or engraving works as well as for producing advertising displays. 

     

    Dental CAD/CAM

  • Polygon scanners are based on special optics and operate, for example, sorting machines. Up to now, manufacturers had to install encoders to run these scanners with a high speed stability.
