The SIMOTION / SINAMICS drive system allows the simple expansion of shafted and shaftless presses while existing mechanical line shafts do not need to be modified.

Drive modernization with SIMOREG DC Master

Many printing machines of all kinds of designs are still equipped with DC drives which have functioned reliably and properly for many years. As most of these controllers are still based on analog technology or are one of the first digitally controlled converters, many customers wish to retrofit to a digital control system.

With SIMOREG DC Master for DC drives, Siemens offers a system including various versions in the 15 to 2000 A power spectrum. Communication with the machine control can be realized via Profibus DP and via terminal connection. Within the framework of a drive control retrofit, it is particularly advisable to exchange analog tachometers for digital variants in order to be able to benefit from all the advantages of digital control technology, such as long-term stability, higher resolution or superior repeat accuracy. Standard script files for printing applications significantly reduce commissioning and conversion times.
