European Automation set to offer ANAX drive technology components beyond 2011
European Automation has announced that it will continue to support components from the Bosch Rexroth ANAX drives, servomotors and accessories range after December 2011.
On this date the OEM‘s maintenance and direct replacement service will be replaced with a suite of innovative modernisation and retrofit services. Customers seeking replacements, spares or other support for the former Indramat components will be offered repairs as well as the sourcing of obsolete parts by European Automation.
The ANAX range was designed for high-accuracy servo applications such as NC machine tools for metal machining and wood working, transfer lines, automation systems, packaging and thermoforming machines and production machines in the automotive industry.
European Automation regards the sourcing of obsolete and phased out industrial automation components as a speciality. The company stocks a wide range of parts including drives, motors, PLC‘s and HMIs from leading industrial automation manufacturers including ABB, Bosch Rexroth, SIEMENs and Mitsubishi.
―Bosch is offering some excellent retrofit and modernisation options for Indramat ANAX users, as you would expect from a company of its calibre‖ explained Jon Wilkins, European Automation's marketing manager. ―However, these options might not be suited to everyone; especially smaller companies or ones who are looking for a very quick solution to get them up and running again. We hope to be able to continue to offer repairs on the product range as well as sourcing spare parts through our massive network of partners and our own stock.‖
The ANAX range include the TDM, TDA, KDA, KDS, RAC, TFM, KDF drives, the MAC servomotor and the TBM, TCM, CZ accessories.

DC drives from Siemens now also available as ready-to-use cabinet units
Sinamics DC Master drives from Siemens are now also available as ready-to-use drive cabinets. The Sinamics DC Master cabinets can be directly connected to three-phase systems up to 3 AC-950 V, and in the basic version they cover a power range between 6 and 2500 kW.
Outputs up to a total of approximately 30 MW, and applications such as 12-pulse series and parallel connection are also possible. The drive cabinets can be adapted to the requirements of the plant by means of numerous options. For example, different degrees of protection can be selected, as well as monitoring and protective functions.
Thanks to their space-saving design, the power supply for the external fan of the DC motor, and the flexible auxiliary voltage supply, they can be integrated easily and quickly into the plant. In the basic version, the type-tested drive cabinets contain all components that are required for the power supply of a DC motor from the three-phase system.
Furthermore, they can be commissioned via the advanced operator panel AOP 30, or with PC support using the "Starter" tool. This reduces configuration and commissioning time. The Sinamics DC Master cabinets can be integrated into higher-level automation solutions via Profibus, Profinet or digital and analog interfaces.
Thanks to their compact and rugged design, the new drive cabinets are particularly suitable for use in the plastics, metals, cement and paper industries, as well as in conveyor systems and hoisting equipment. The monitoring and protective functions also enable safe operation.
