| The new force in servo drives |
30 November 2005 - Lenze Limited
With the new 9400 servo system, Lenze have addressed the needs of UK manufacturers for real cost savings in planning and installation of machine drives. Covering rated outputs from 1.5 to 23.5A (soon to be extended to 104A), the 9400 is the leading product in the Lenze L-force drive and automation platform. A fundamental characteristic is the way that services, functions, software and communications can be combined in a precise format required by the customer. |

| Drive-based safety simplifies machine design |
17 November 2005 - Lenze Limited
The new 9400 servo drives from Lenze offer options for drive-based safety that reduce component count, cut costs and result in faster response to safety signals. Two plug-in safety modules cover safe stopping plus five other safety related functions together with communication on a safety bus. Elements such as stop switches and lightguards can be connected directly to the drive and the requirements of IEC/EN 61508 SIL3 are met. |

| Lenze has added asynchronous motors to its L-force concept |
23 November 2004 - Lenze Limited
The MCA series is to feature an electronic nameplate which will enable 9400 series L-force servo controllers to read all required motor data automatically. The further standardisation of the connectors for the motor cable and feedback means that these motors feature the same design principles as the synchronous servo motors in the well-known MCS range. |
