New cooling solutions enable increased machine availability

Now with feed-through heat sink or cold plate cool­ing avail­able:  The new cool­ing solu­tions dis­si­pate up to 60% of gen­er­at­ed heat out­side of the con­trol cab­i­net. This makes it pos­si­ble to use much more com­pact cab­i­nets, since fans and air con­di­tion­ers can be reduced or elim­i­nat­ed entire­ly. Oper­a­tion and main­te­nance costs are reduced.

This cool­ing solu­tions are suit­able for a large num­ber of axes in all pow­er ranges. With the elim­i­na­tion of fans and air con­di­tion­ers that bring out­side air into the con­trol cab­i­net, there is also sub­stan­tial­ly less dust that gets sucked in along with it. This sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduces the need to stop the entire machine for main­te­nance tasks like replac­ing air fil­ters. Machine avail­abil­i­ty goes up.

Compact control cabinet

With feed-through cool­ing, push-through heat sinks con­duct up to 60% of dis­si­pat­ed heat direct­ly to the air out­side of the con­trol cab­i­net. Cost­ly cool­ing of the con­trol cab­i­net itself is not nec­es­sary. The heat sink offers IP64 pro­tec­tion and is com­pli­ant with stan­dards EN 60529 and UL 50 Type 12. The fan installed in the push-through heat sink offers IP54 protection.

Lower costs

Cold plate cool­ing uses a water-cooled plate to dis­si­pate vir­tu­al­ly all heat gen­er­at­ed by devices via the coolant. As a result, con­trol cab­i­nets need far few­er fans and cli­mate con­trol units, reduc­ing costs. Cold plate mount­ing works in con­junc­tion with a machine’s own cool­ing circuit.
