Your upgrade for more flexibility

The reliable Masterdrive was considered state of the art for many years. But control technology continues to evolve – and has now produced an even more efficient successor in the form of Siemens SINAMICS. But is an upgrade necessary, even if your old drive controller is still working? Absolutely!

With the SINAMICS retrofit, you not only bring your system's control technology up to date, but also minimize the risk of production-threatening failures. Don’t hesitate, because Masterdrive has already been discontinued and can only be procured with great effort and high costs. Therefore, when replacing your drive controllers, you should opt for the new SINAMICS components.

Versatile module

SINAMICS controllers can be used in a wide variety of machines.

Easy to replace

Retrofit without any adjustments. All original functions of the system are retained.

Less machine downtime

Safeguard your productivity and protect yourself against cost-intensive machine downtime.

Separate modules

The control and motor modules are separate and can be easily replaced in the event of a fault.

No parameterization

Save valuable time: your new servo controller is ready for immediate use.

Availability and service

Simply keep the readily available controllers in reserve and benefit from our convenient remote support.

Fast, safe, SINAMICS!

The new servo controller for your foam cutting machine offers you two key advantages: the separation of control and motor modules, as well as the elimination of time-consuming parameterization. SINAMICS controllers are readily available and can be directly deployed in various machines without any adjustments, while maintaining the same functionality.

And if something doesn't go smoothly? No problem: in case of a malfunction, the usually intact motor can simply continue to be used. Only the motor module needs to be replaced –and this one spare part can be used in your entire machine fleet! If the control module itself is defective, this can also be solved quickly and easily by replacing the CF card.

FAQ

Would you like to know more about SINAMICS? We welcome your questions! We have also summarized some of the most frequently asked questions for you here:

Which machines are affected by the Siemens Masterdrive discontinuation?

The robust, reliable and, with a service life of 5-6 years, durable Masterdrive components were installed in all Bäumer machines with the exception of CNC machines. They should now definitely be replaced by new SINAMICS servo controllers. Masterdrive has already been discontinued and will no longer be available in the future.

Can an old Masterdrive be replaced 1:1 with SINAMICS?

Yes, the new components can be replaced without any further adjustments. All original functions of the system are retained.

What happens in the event of a fault?

In the event of a fault with the new drive controllers, usually only the motor module needs to be replaced. If the control module is defective, the CF card can be replaced quickly and easily.

How long does the upgrade from Masterdrive to SINAMICS take?

The retrofit typically takes 4-6 working days, depending on the number of drive controllers.

How much does the machine conversion cost?

This varies greatly and depends on the number and power of the drive controllers. We are happy to advise you and calculate the costs for your individual retrofit!
