Technical Principles and Innovative Values
Innovation Point 1:Closed-loop brushless AC motor control with encoder/tach feedback—DBTS10-200-7 maintains tight speed and torque control even under changing loads,reducing overshoot and improving stability.
Innovation Point 2:Regeneration/energy recovery built in.When the motor decelerates or is driven by load,the drive handles regeneration energy safely—reducing waste and protecting power supply.
Innovation Point 3:Modular rack(RL format)design.It enables compact installation,easier heat dissipation,and easier replacement/servicing.The“RL-PAA”variant tends to be lower-profile.
Innovation Point 4:Diagnostic and setup features via serial interfaces(RS-422/485),encoder feedback,DIP-switch settings etc.These allow fine tuning in situ,trouble-shooting,and operational adjustments without dismantling machine.
Innovation Point 5:Robust electrical protection and reliable design.With protections like overcurrent,temperature,possibly short-circuit or overload,DBTS10-200-7 is suited for harsh industrial environments.
Application Cases and Industry Value
Case 1:Machine Tool Application—A CNC cutting machine replaced an older drive with Baldor DBTS10-200-7 to control its spindle motor.The result:better surface finish(reduced vibration),faster acceleration/deceleration,smoother tool changes,and fewer maintenance calls for drive overheating.
Case 2:Packaging/Conveyor Systems—A high-speed conveyor using brushless AC motors used the DBTS10-200-7 to regulate motion at tight tolerances.During starts and stops with heavy loads,previous controllers stalled or overshot.With this drive installed,the system runs smoother,reduces mechanical stress on belts/chains,and lowers downtime.
The general value:it boosts automation precision,reduces energy waste via better control/regeneration,and extends equipment life by protecting the motor&drive from electrical stress.
