The new TUV-certified Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6000 Safety servo drive with GuardMotion from Rockwell Automation incorporates a safe-off functionality that allows users to restart machines faster and reduce downtime in the event of unplanned maintenance. The safe-off feature eliminates torque at the motor to shut down the machine and keeps the power supply on, allowing maintenance staff to perform tasks such as cleaning the machine, removing a jam, or changing a tool. It also enables them to restart the machine up to 20% faster than if they had to recharge the power connection, helping to boost machine availability. www.rockwellautomation.com
