creating perfect harmony

what is harmony?

We see harmony as a state of balance. The
feeling that the solution created is the best
possible for your specific needs. That the sup­plier selected is the right one. That there is
good communication and an understanding
of your needs. That environmental issues are
handled in the best possible way.

creating perfect harmony

Drives help improve the control of machines and increase energy efficiency. Selecting the right
AC drive is, however, more than just selecting the right product – it is just as much about
selecting a supplier with the right attitude towards partnership. Aiming for perfect harmony
means selecting the right product, the optimum solution and the best co-operation… And doing
it all in harmony with nature.

it all starts with the attitude

We very much understand, and we have seen it so many times, that
our success is always a result of our customer’s success. When our
customer is the winner in his market, we as a partner are also a
winner. Realizing this simple fact, we have built our company culture
and ways of working around this attitude. Working with Vacon you
can be sure that all the efforts are made to reach the best end result
– be it product related, solutions related, logistics and support
related. This is what makes Vacon your best choice for partnership.

harmon y in relationships

Vacon is a young drives supplier that in a short
period of time has grown to be one of the main
drives suppliers globally. The Vacon team of drives
professionals is here to provide their expertise
and skills in order to serve our customers in
the best possible way. Our target is a long-term
relationship built on confidence and trust – to us
that is perfect harmony.

harmon y in products

To meet the various needs of our customers we have created
a wide range of compact AC products. All the products:
Vacon 10, Vacon 20 and Vacon 20 Cold Plate have one major
thing in common. They are designed to be efficient and easy
to use. Applying the product should be easy, it should fit into
the space available for it and we want the installation and
configuration time to be as short as possible.

harmon y in customization

Machinery and products produced in large quantities should
be well optimized and efficient. A standard drive solution is not
always the optimum solution. We at Vacon have, from the start,
developed our working processes in a way that allows us to
customize the products to meet customer needs. So if you are
a high volume user of drives, contact your local Vacon partner
to find out how we can create a world-class drives solution
together.

saving and thus to reduced emissions and pollution. Vacon
aims to be an all around environmentally friendly company –
our products are a good example of that. You can also see it in
our ways of working. We have developed our manufacturing
process in order to minimize the impact on the environment.
All excess materials in the production and service processes

vacon 10 – as easy as possible

The Vacon 10 is an AC drive designed for applications where simplicity and efficiency are the
key requirements. When you need a compact AC drive that does its job without extra hassle, the
Vacon 10 is the product you should be taking a closer look at.

The leading design feature of the Vacon 10 is simplicity, which
means short handling time. It has all the functionality built
into one simple unit. Our Vacon 10 customers appreciate a
quick setup and compact size.

fast installation

Choose Vacon 10, and benefit from the quick installation
process. If the drive is mounted on a DIN rail no screws are
required for the fixing. No external components, such as RFI
filters etc., are needed as they can all be integrated into the
drive.

fast setup

compact size

The space available for the drive is often limited. It is also a
cost factor as providing more space leads to increased cost
for the enclosure. The secret behind the compact size of
the Vacon 10 is the unique cooling concept of the drive. It is
made just like most PC computers – a high efficiency forced
cooled heat sink mounted directly onto the power semicon­ductors.

vacon 20 cold plate – flexibilit y in cooling

When the environment is more demanding or there is a cooling media such as liquid already
available, the AC drive cooling can also be optimized further. The Vacon 20 Cold Plate shares
the control and power topology with the standard Vacon 20 drive, but offers completely new
possibilities for creating unique and efficient cooling solutions.

AC drives are extremely energy efficient products; they
do however, still generate some heat. The heat loss
can sometimes limit the density of the machine design,
especially if mounted in a sealed enclosure simply because
there is no air circulation. The Vacon 20 Cold Plate design
is based around a flat surface of the drive onto which the
majority of the heat losses are concentrated. By attaching
this surface to a cooling element, i.e. to the “cold plate”,
the cooling of the drive can work even under the most
demanding circumstances.

use any cooling media

As the cooling is done through a clear cooling interface, it
is possible to use different cooling media depending on the
situation. By attaching the drive to a heat sink with large
cooling ribs, a fully passively cooled drive is created. As
an alternative, the drive can be mounted on a plate, which
is cooled by liquid in order to create a liquid cooled drive
solution. Other possible cooling media include different
types of refrigerants or metal constructions with a high heat
energy conducting mass.

compact sealed enclosures

If the heat transport from the drive is not handled through
air circulation, but through the heat being conducted out of

the enclosure through a flat metal surface, the sealing of the
enclosure is no longer a factor that significantly affects the
cooling performance. It is thus possible to create and install
the drive enclosure in environments with high amounts of
dust and moisture. The Vacon 20 has a unique form that
is designed to allow slim and flat enclosure solutions that
can be highly integrated in the machine construction to be
created.

built-in plc functionality according to
ie c61131-3

The Vacon 20 Cold Plate utilizes the advanced control
concept of the Vacon 20 product family, offering full control
performance and functionality. It also supports the built-in
PLC functionality that allows the creation of application­specific software and solutions.
