capacity-modules

Additional capacity modules improve the energy balance in applications with rapidly successive machining cycles such as roll-feeds or cross-cutting systems. Connected to the DC bus, the additional capacities work as temporary power storage and thus reduce the load on the mains. Additionally, they reduce the load on the internal braking resistor in the servo controller and thus decrease the heat dissipation in the control cabinet. During a mains failure, the stored energy enables a controlled retract motion. This protects the workpiece and tools in gear cutting machines, for example.<br><br>The KLC03 capacity module is used to prevent peak loads on the mains side. In addition, it enables energy to be stored for retract movements after a mains failure and allows the peak power to be increased within the DC bus.
