Space saving
November 1st 2008 New from Rexroth is the IndraDrive
Mi integrated Drive/Control System,
the design of which is reported have
reduced required build space by
over 50% compared with traditional
servo drives.
With IndraDrive Mi, the motor
casing serves as the cooling
element for the control system,
which is fitted to the motor, thus
adding only a tiny extension to the
overall profile. This concept also
eliminates the need to replace wear
and tear parts, increasing overall
reliability and lifetime, as well as
reducing costs associated with
unscheduled downtime.
Early results from field trials
indicate that IndraDrive Mi provides
total performance and functionality
when used continuously and in
harsh production conditions, claims
