Indramat and Rexroth servomotors and servo drives have a safety feature called a starting lockout. What does this do? It prevents the servo from starting up again. Why would you want to do that? When you need to work in the dangerous area near a servo, you don’t need to play Dodge the Servo while… Read more »
Blown, leaky, or finicky capacitors can be a problem with Indramat and Rexroth drives. Capacitors are an older, more fragile technology that many newer machines have improved on but with older Indramat servo drives, capacitors aren’t an uncommon sight.

Indramat’s CLC control servo drive cards are FiberOptic Sercos based with built in 3 Form factors. There are several different types of firmware and programs used in CLC controls so that makes them more difficult to identify then CLM control. The most common, however, are Visual Motion for general motion control, and Synax for printing… Read more »
You’ll hear the words “maintenance free” thrown around a lot when talking about Indramat and Rexroth servomotors and servo drives. The idea is that you set it up and let it run forever.
