Mechanical
¨ Reduced maintenance costs
- Electronic brakes require no maintenance
(no brake linings etc.)
- Fast stopping of damaged equipment
e.g. with imbalance
¨ Undesirable oscillations can be reduced
- Vibrator motors can be stopped quickly
Safety
¨ Fast electronic braking increases safety
- Machines can be stopped within 10 s or less
- Machines with very high inertia should not be left
unattended while they are running down
Productivity
¨ Waiting time to change or service tools eliminated
- Especially useful with high inertia equipment
