Product Description:

Bosch Rexroth Indramat builds the KDA 3.1-100-3-AQI-U1 within its KDA Spindle Drives series. The unit is intended to regulate the torque and speed of servo-spindles in machining centers, supplying controlled three-phase power while monitoring feedback from the motor. By converting a fixed DC link into variable AC, it lets a CNC controller execute rapid cutting, drilling, or grinding cycles with repeatable accuracy in industrial automation cells. The drive is commonly used on main and auxiliary spindles where fast response is needed during tool engagement, speed changes, and controlled deceleration. That control behavior supports roughing passes that demand quick torque response and finishing operations that require stable speed.

The drive receives blower power at 115 V/50-60 Hz, so a separate low-voltage feed is not required for fan operation. A heat sink-mounted blower pulls air directly across the internal heat sink, and forced cooling helps keep IGBT junction temperatures within safe limits during continuous duty. The power section links to a DC bus rated at 300 VDC, and its current path can deliver a continuous 100 A to the spindle windings. Speed references arrive as an analog voltage, allowing integration with legacy motion controllers that output ±10 V commands rather than serial fieldbus packets. This arrangement lets older CNC systems use a simple command interface while the drive handles spindle power conversion internally. During motion, the incremental encoder signal is routed back through a buffered output so the numerical control sees real-time shaft position.

The electronics operate without derating between 5 to 45 °C, provided cabinet airflow remains unobstructed. Installation altitude can reach 1000 m above sea level before additional cooling or reduced loading becomes necessary. For position tracking, an incremental encoder output is available at the front terminal strip, which simplifies wiring because no external splitter is needed. The front-terminal access also helps keep feedback wiring short inside the cabinet. The control can read spindle position through that path without adding a separate feedback interface module.
