SAF Drives products

SAFphire Programmable Linear Controller is a DSP based controller designed for closed-loop drive control applications. SAFphire replaces the hardwired analog circuit cards used in traditional control systems. Its high-speed digital, signal processor can run an entire control program in mere milliseconds, providing considerable performance improvement over other forms of hardwired circuit card replacements while allowing the flexibility of software and expandability of control configurations.

Imagine...a built-in HP-Rated Bypass Contactor that allows for across-the-line starting in emergency situations. OPAL Pro MS6B: Rated for emergency starts. Comes complete with all the cost reduction, wear and tear reduction, installation and set-up time reduction, flexibility, and enhanced performance of its MS6 cousin.

The OP-STOP DC Injection (DCI) brake module is a full-featured braking unit that provides smooth braking of AC induction motors. SAF`s DCI offers adjustable braking through the use of closed-loop current control, which, unlike mechanical brakes, will not wear. The OP-STOP electric brake delivers high levels of braking torque by injecting controlled DC into two motor phases.

Costs Reduced: No expensive add-ons required for overload protection. No need for multiple spares because a common control card is used on all sizes   of SS6 starters. Power saved because peak power consumption is reduced during motor starts. Back-up inventory is minimized because universal voltage allows the OPAL SS6 to  be used on an expanded range of applications. Production time increased with optional DC injection brake.

SAF’s FS2/4 Field Regulators are designed specifically to provide controlled DC current output for the highly inductive loads found in the motor field coils.
