The drive specialists at Baumüller in Nuremberg see the new servo drives in the “b maXX 6800” series as an attractive solution, especially for manufacturers of electric injection molding machines and extruders, as well as for forming technology, as the connected load and thus the operating costs can be significantly reduced.

The “b maXX 6800” drives are part of the current “b maXX 6000” series and, like the “b maXX 6500” single devices, are designed for high performance. They complement the existing portfolio because, unlike the single devices, they are not connected directly to the mains but to the DC link. The advantage here is that load peaks that only occur for a short time do not affect the connected load and thus do not drive up the connection price for the operator. The “b maXX 6800” can be used in combination with the “b maXX 6500” single devices. The elimination of the feed-in creates a cost-optimized variant for higher outputs.

The “b maXX 6800” covers a power range from 40 to 315 kilowatts in three sizes: 4, 5, and 6. Numerous cooling variants enable optimal adaptation to the requirements of the application. The use of feed-through technology, for example, can reduce power loss in the control cabinet. In many cases, cost-intensive control cabinet cooling and air conditioning can be dispensed with. The water cooling option reduces the construction volume and, according to Baumüller, enables economical control cabinet designs.
