Product Description:
The 18.F5.A1G-34IA is an AC axis inverter produced by KEB for the F5 Combivert Axis Drives series. It converts a fixed three-phase supply into regulated motor power, allowing a machine controller to command speed and torque in packaging lines, material-handling stations, and coordinated multi-axis systems. The integrated power electronics, control circuitry, and protective hardware provide a compact drive platform that reduces cabinet wiring and supports the rapid motion changes required in industrial automation.
The inverter uses Size Code 18, which corresponds to its frame dimensions and output-stage current capacity. Its Housing Form Factor Code of G indicates a mechanical depth and mounting-hole pattern compatible with standardized KEB heat sink modules. For applications supplied by 480 V mains, the drive supports motors rated up to 30 HP. Dynamic deceleration is managed by a factory-installed braking transistor, which directs regenerated energy away from the DC bus during rapid stops. The recovered energy is dissipated through an external braking resistor, helping prevent excessive DC-bus voltage when a connected motor slows quickly or drives an overhauling load.
Command processing is handled by the standard control board, which supports basic speed and torque regulation, digital input and output functions, and compatible fieldbus gateways without requiring an expansion card. The control electronics are matched to the power stage, allowing setup through motor nameplate data, operating parameters, and network addresses. The established enclosure format also simplifies cabinet layout because mounting positions and ventilation clearances can be planned consistently across multiple drive axes. Common diagnostic codes and keypad menus provide a consistent operating workflow when several units are installed in the same machine, while the integrated protective functions monitor operating conditions and respond to faults that could affect the inverter or connected motor.
