When You Need Smart Performance, Think PowerFlex

3/28/2025

In production, time for engineering, installing, training and repairing machines all add up to major costs. That’s why Rockwell Automation® creates On-Machine™ systems that utilize a modular design to cut down on deployment and maintenance times. The Armor™ PowerFlex® 35-series variable frequency drives (VFDs) leverage this design approach to offer an environmentally robust, cost-effective and incredibly efficient motor control solution. The embedded EtherNet/IP™ dual-port switch provides real-time data collection that can be used for predictive maintenance and system insights. The Armor PowerFlex safety model has enhanced functionality to protect machine operators and simplify the integration of safety requirements. When it comes to motor control in demanding environments, Armor PowerFlex drives keep it simple, smart and safe.
