Product Description:
The RAC 3.5-150-460-APS-W1-220 is an AC main spindle drive controller manufactured by Bosch Rexroth Indramat for the RAC Spindle Drive Controllers series. It functions as the power interface between a CNC control and a high-speed machining spindle, translating low-level velocity references into three-phase drive currents. In milling, drilling, and grinding systems, the unit supplies regulated torque so the spindle can follow programmed speed profiles with stable operation over repeated cycles. The controller is intended for spindle applications where torque demand changes with tool engagement and material load. Its closed-loop operation helps keep commanded speed consistent during machining.
The drive has a rated output of 150 A, allowing it to energize large motor windings during heavy chip-removal work. The power stage accepts 3 x AC 400 V ±15% or 3 x AC 460 V at 50 Hz, while the control section uses a separate AC 230 V supply at 50 to 60 Hz to isolate logic circuits from switching noise. Velocity commands enter through an analog (±10 V) input that scales spindle speed linearly with the reference voltage. This input suits direct speed references from compatible CNC controls and other analog command sources. System setup and diagnostics are handled through an RS-232-C serial port, and an additional encoder input is available for closed-loop spindle feedback. Because the drive is supplied without an additional bleeder resistor, regenerated energy must be dissipated externally or by the connected motor load.
Thermal stability is maintained by an integrated internal blower that moves cooling air across the heat sinks during prolonged high-current duty. Field conductors terminate on the X4 9-pole connector, which consolidates power, feedback, and command wiring in one location. Rotor position is resolved through a high-resolution INDRAMAT encoder channel, permitting exact phase alignment even at low speed. This feedback supports accurate phase alignment during startup and stable regulation at low spindle speeds. The controller is in series 3 and is Version 5.
