FB201 KEBA

The KEBA FB201 is a high-performance servo drive manufactured by KEBA AG, a leading provider of automation solutions. This drive is engineered to deliver precise motion control for industrial robots, automated machinery, and other demanding applications requiring high dynamic response and accurate torque control.

Application Scenarios:

In an automotive welding production line, a six-axis industrial robot performs rapid, precise spot welding. Each axis is powered by a KEBA FB201 servo drive. The drive receives position and torque commands from the robot controller and delivers the exact current to the servo motor, enabling fast acceleration, deceleration, and precise stopping at each weld point. This application highlights the drive's role in solving the pain points of motion accuracy, repeatability, and high dynamic response, which are critical for maintaining production quality and throughput.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values:

· •Innovation Point 1: High Dynamic Response and Precision Control. The FB201 utilizes advanced vector control algorithms and high-speed processing to achieve exceptionally fast current loop updates. This results in minimal torque ripple and superior control bandwidth, enabling the precise motion required for complex robotic trajectories and high-speed pick-and-place operations.

· •Innovation Point 2: Integrated Safety Function (STO). The drive incorporates Safe Torque Off (STO) functionality, which is a safety feature that prevents unintended motor operation by safely disconnecting the drive's power stage. This integrated safety simplifies system design and helps machinery comply with relevant safety standards (e.g., IEC 61800-5-2).

· •Innovation Point 3: Seamless Integration with KEBA Automation Suite. The FB201 is optimized to work seamlessly with KEBA's KeMotion control platform and other controllers. This native integration provides optimized performance, simplified commissioning, and access to advanced robotic functions, reducing engineering time and ensuring system reliability.

Application Cases and Industry Value:

A packaging machinery manufacturer integrated the KEBA FB201 servo drives into a new high-speed cartoning machine. The previous generation used traditional drives that limited the machine's speed and caused product misalignment at high rates. With the FB201's superior dynamic response and precise electronic gearing/camming functions, the new machine achieved a 25% increase in packaging speed while improving placement accuracy by 60%. This directly increased the customer's production capacity and reduced material waste due to mispackaging.

Installation, Maintenance, and Full-Cycle Support:

Installation of the KEBA FB201 involves mounting it on a DIN rail inside a control cabinet, connecting the three-phase power input, and wiring the motor and feedback cables. Network connection (EtherCAT/CANopen) to the master controller is essential. Configuration is performed using KEBA's engineering software, which guides the user through motor setup and control loop tuning.Routine maintenance primarily involves ensuring the drive's cooling is effective (e.g., clear ventilation paths) and checking electrical connections for tightness. The drive's diagnostic functions can be monitored via the software to check for warnings or errors. We provide comprehensive lifecycle support, from initial system design and drive sizing to commissioning assistance and 24/7 technical support.
