KE300

The Bosch Rexroth Indramat KE300 central unit, part of the SB System Box Units series, delivers robust coordination and control for single-axis tightening controllers in industrial automation environments. Designed for precise torque management, the KE300 facilitates seamless communication with external PLCs and host computers. Its architecture supports standardized bus communication to tighten controllers, ensuring reliable data transfer across the system. With passive cooling embedded in its chassis, the unit achieves efficient temperature regulation without the need for additional fans or heat exchangers. The rack-mounted design further optimizes space utilization within control cabinets, providing a compact yet powerful solution for centralized tightening operations.

The KE300’s technical framework is defined by a suite of critical specifications tailored for high-performance assembly applications. It employs Bus Communication: Standard bus to tightening controllers and offers Compatibility: Tightening System 300 to guarantee interoperability with existing tightening equipment. Cooling is managed through Cooling: Passive mechanisms, avoiding moving parts and reducing maintenance requirements. Three Expansion Slots: 3 unoccupied card slots allow for future I/O or protocol modules, while Serial Interfaces: 2 interfaces for external linkage enable dedicated channels for host and monitoring systems. The dual Power Supply: 5 [email protected] A; 24 [email protected] A outputs provide stable voltage rails for peripheral sensors and interface modules. Environmental resilience is supported by an operational Humidity Range: 5%–85% RH non-condensing, and the unit’s Mounting: Rack-mounted within system box configuration ensures secure installation. The manufacturer’s identification is confirmed by MPN: 0 608 830 162, marking the KE300 as a verified Bosch Rexroth Indramat component.

Operationally, the KE300 excels in managing data exchange and external control tasks with minimal latency. Its Data Exchange: Facilitates data interchange with external systems capability underpins high-speed feedback loops between tightening controllers and supervisory systems. The unit’s External Control: Allows external system control ensures that centralized torque commands and status monitoring can be executed from PLCs or central computers without bottlenecks. Compatibility with a range of Interface Modules: Compatible with PLC & host computer modules expands the KE300’s applicability across diverse industrial communication standards. The combination of a standardized bus, dual serial ports, and three expansion card slots enables dynamic scalability for evolving production requirements. Passive cooling maintains consistent performance in continuous operation, making the KE300 highly suited for energy-efficient and low-noise environments.

System integration is streamlined by leveraging the KE300’s modular design and open communication protocols. As a member of the SB System Box Units family, it easily interfaces with Bosch Rexroth’s tightening controllers and external automation equipment, forming a cohesive tightening solution. The unit’s rack-mounted form factor and standardized card cages simplify maintenance and future upgrades. Target applications include automotive assembly lines, precision electronics manufacturing, and general mechanical assembly where centralized tightening control, real-time monitoring, and high system uptime are critical.
