At Wake Industrial, surplus Indramat equipment is not just old inventory taking up shelf space. These Bosch Rexroth Indramat drives, power supplies, control sections, and controller cards still hold value when the exact type code, communication option, current class, and configuration can be identified. Whether you are modernizing a machine, clearing out spare cabinets, or recovering value from legacy automation inventory, Wake Industrial reviews surplus Indramat hardware so unused assets can be turned back into cash instead of sitting idle. The easiest way to start is by sending the full part number, clear nameplate photos, and the condition of the unit. That matters because many Indramat product families were produced in multiple communication, feedback, cooling, and power variants, and those differences directly affect how a surplus unit is evaluated.

How It Works

The process starts with identifying what you have and sending Wake Industrial the exact part numbers you want reviewed. Once the part numbers and condition are clear, the equipment can be evaluated against current demand for that specific configuration. If the offer works for you, the sale can move forward without the usual guesswork that happens when older automation parts are described too generally. That is especially important with Indramat drives and controller sections because similar-looking units may differ by master communication type, encoder support, control section design, cooling arrangement, or DC bus class. The more precise the identification, the easier it is to move surplus efficiently.

Drives and Controllers We Like to Buy

DKC Drive Controllers

DKC drive controllers belong to the EcoDrive platform and were built for position, speed, and torque control in servo-driven automation systems. One of the defining characteristics of the family is its spread across multiple voltage and current classes, which means a lighter-duty 300 VDC unit and a higher-current 700 VDC controller can both fall under the DKC name while serving very different applications. Depending on the version, these drives can also be configured around different communication arrangements such as analog, RS232/485, and fieldbus-oriented options. Because of that range, the exact type code is what gives a surplus DKC controller its meaning in the resale market.

CDB Control Units

CDB control units are a strong surplus category because they sit inside IndraDrive-based multi-axis motion systems where communication format and encoder support are critical. Wake Industrial’s CDB listings show the family as double-axis control hardware built around configurable communication and encoder combinations rather than one universal setup. That makes these units especially important to identify correctly when selling surplus. Two CDB sections from the same cabinet can look similar at a glance, but one may be built around MultiEthernet with multiple multi-encoder interfaces while another may be built around PROFIBUS or SERCOS III with EnDat-oriented feedback support. In practical terms, that means a clear type code can make the difference between a routine surplus inquiry and a usable valuation tied to a real installed-base need. If you have spare CDB units from an IndraDrive cabinet, line decommission, or control retrofit, they should be quoted by the full part number.

CSH Drive Controllers

CSH advanced control sections are high-performance IndraDrive control sections that mount onto a power section to form a complete drive controller. These units are highly configuration-driven products, with master communication, encoder capability, analog outputs, plug-in module options, and safety arrangements changing from one model to the next. That makes the CSH family especially sensitive to exact model identification in any surplus review. A CSH section is typically more than a generic control board; it is a configurable motion-control component whose communication and feedback profile define how it can be reused.

CSB Drive Controllers

CSB drive controllers are BASIC UNIVERSAL control sections used in IndraDrive architectures, with strong emphasis on communication flexibility and encoder compatibility. Depending on the configuration, a CSB unit can be oriented around CANopen, SERCOS, MultiEthernet, or other network styles while supporting different encoder-interface combinations and safety features such as Safe Torque Off. This means the surplus value of a CSB controller depends much more on its exact communication and feedback arrangement than on the CSB family name alone. These are best evaluated by full type code and not grouped together as generic control hardware.

CLM Drives

CLM axis positioning control modules are microprocessor-based positioning controls built around a modular control concept. These modules are tied to motion-control applications where axis count, 24 VDC control voltage, and onboard I/O matter more than raw drive power. In surplus, CLM units often turn up in control cabinets long after the original machine has been upgraded, but they still have value when the correct axis and I/O profile can be identified. Because multiple CLM versions exist, keeping the exact line and version in the quote request helps separate one controller from another.

DDS Drive Controllers

DDS drive controllers are modular servo drives designed to be combined with AC servo motors to create rapid-response drive systems. The family was used in applications such as machine tools, handling machines, printing systems, and packaging machinery, which helps explain why DDS hardware still appears in surplus stockrooms today. Cooling method, feedback style, interface arrangement, and current class all change within the series, so a DDS controller should be priced by exact model rather than described loosely. These drives are especially relevant in legacy servo systems where a compatible replacement is more useful than a newer but non-matching alternative.

DKR Drive Controllers

DKR drive controllers were developed for high-power motion axes such as main spindle motors, frameless spindle motors, and linear motors. This makes the family very different from compact servo drives, because current class, command interface, feedback support, and DC-bus arrangement define how the controller fits into the larger machine system. In surplus, DKR units are often tied to demanding legacy installations where the correct interface and power class matter more than cosmetic similarity. These should always be evaluated as exact-model motion-control hardware, not as broad “spindle drives.”

HCS IndraDrive Controllers

HCS IndraDrive controllers are modular drive controllers made from an HCS power section and a plug-in control section. That modular layout is a defining feature of the family because it means the power frame and the control architecture have to be considered together. HCS units cover a broad range of current and power classes, from smaller converters to much larger cabinet-based drive controllers, so surplus value depends heavily on the exact line and rating. These drives are best identified by their actual power and connection class instead of by general family name.

HDD Drive Controllers

HDD drive controllers are part of the DIAX04 digital intelligent drive platform and use modular construction to build compact drive packages around a shared supply concept. The family is associated with flexible package design and pairing with AC motors in servo or main-drive roles, which helps explain why it still shows up in surplus motion-control inventories. HDD units are configuration-sensitive because current class, axis arrangement, and communication style matter directly to cabinet compatibility. In a resale context, an HDD controller is more useful when identified as a complete DIAX04 component rather than as a generic amplifier.
 

HDS Drive Controllers

HDS drive controllers are modular configured units in the DIAX04 family. A complete HDS controller is built from a base unit plus command communication, software, optional plug-in modules, and a configuration plate, which makes the family highly configuration-dependent in the surplus market. This is one reason HDS units should be quoted by full model instead of just by frame size or series label. Current rating, communication style, and cooling arrangement all define how the controller fits within an existing installation.

HMD Double Axis Drive Controllers

HMD double-axis drive controllers are IndraDrive power sections built to control two motor channels in one unit. Their importance in surplus comes from the shared DC-bus concept and the fact that two motor outputs are integrated into one drive section. Current class, bus voltage range, cooling method, and protection class are all central to how an HMD unit is used. Because they are double-axis devices, they should be treated as complete cabinet motion components rather than as ordinary single-axis drives.

HMS Axis Inverters

HMS axis inverters are DC-bus-powered inverter sections intended for IndraDrive M architectures. A defining characteristic of the family is the use of a 24 V control-voltage input together with motor-temperature monitoring and holding-brake related functions for machine integration. Since HMS units are inverter sections rather than standalone supply-and-drive combinations, the exact current class and bus class matter greatly in a surplus setting. These units should be reviewed as axis inverters within a larger shared-bus motion system.

PPC Controllers

PPC controllers are CNC control modules used in industrial PC-based motion architectures and rely on SERCOS fiber-optic communication to connect to digital drives. Depending on the exact model, they can appear as PC plug-in motion-control cards or as more self-contained industrial controller units with their own interface options. Their surplus value often depends on the hardware platform, interface mix, and whether the unit is intended for stand-alone control or tighter cabinet integration. These should be identified as actual controller platforms, not simply grouped with general drives.

DKS Intelligent Digital Servo Drives

DKS intelligent digital servo drives are microprocessor-controlled AC servo drives that combine the power supply and servo control electronics into a compact cabinet-mounted basic unit. The series was designed to operate with MDD digital AC servo motors as part of a complete drive system, which makes DKS units especially relevant in legacy Indramat servo installations where a like-for-like controller still matters. Within the family, current rating, supply voltage compatibility, encoder configuration, PWM behavior, firmware setup, and noise-emission class can vary by model, so the full type code is essential when evaluating surplus. That is also why DKS drives should be quoted as exact configurations rather than treated as generic servo amplifiers. If you have unused DKS inventory from an older machine tool, packaging line, or motion cabinet, the type code is what makes the unit identifiable and saleable.
