Lenze at SPS 2026​

The best axis – Tailored to your application.​

Experience the best axis live at SPS 2026. Discover how we combine mechatronics, electronics, software, AI and services into the optimal motion solution for your application. Helping you build machines faster, manage complexity more easily and achieve reliable performance throughout the entire machine lifecycle.​

Machine builders today face increasing complexity: more functionality, interfaces, safety requirements and software integration, while project timelines are shrinking and cost pressure continues to rise. Every machine requires the right motion solution. That's why at Lenze, we develop more than individual components. We create the optimal motion solution for every machine, every application and every challenge.​

What is the best axis?

The best axis is our promise to you. With precision and curiosity, we bring together every element of the axis and tailor it to your specific challenge. Open standards simplify integration into existing architectures, integrated engineering tools reduce design effort, and harmonized hardware and software streamline commissioning and operation.​

For you, this means less engineering and integration effort, faster commissioning and reliable performance throughout the entire machine lifecycle.​ At SPS 2026, we will show how the best axis comes to life in practice, with solutions, products and engineering tools that help machine builders achieve the best possible motion outcome.​

Our technology highlights for the Best Axis at SPS 2026​

i950 DC-Link servo drive: ​Compact power for multi-axis systems​

More performance with less complexity, even if the number of axles increases​

More axes, higher dynamics – and the control cabinet becomes a bottleneck. The new i950 cabinet DC-Link expands the proven i950 platform with an integrated DC rail system: less wiring, shorter assembly, up to 4 times overload with up to a third smaller footprint. It only becomes part of the best axis in the system: PROFIdrive and CiA 402 integrate it seamlessly into existing architectures, Sensorless Motor Control creates freedom in motor selection and supports our IE5/IE6 motors. Pre-designed FAST software modules and auto-tuning shorten the commissioning process. ​ Experience the high-performance servo inverter live in motion at several exhibits at our booth.​

Controller c530: Multicore performance for scalable machines

Integrate more features without leaving the familiar control platform​

More axes and functions must not mean more complexity. The new c530 controller offers machine builders power reserves with the same program structure and prevents the controller from becoming a bottleneck. Multicore processing enables parallel operation of motion tasks, communication and visualization on the four processor cores without having to change the main program. The same design, interfaces and engineering tools as in the c500 series facilitate integration; PROFINET, EtherCAT Device and OPC UA create additional openness. New functions can be added modularly, and existing FAST projects can be reused. Battery-free design and device exchange via SD card simplify operation. This is how the c530 contributes to the best axis: more performance without more complexity. Experience the scalable platform live at the booth.​

Motor Drive System IE5/IE6: Servo-like performance, consistently intended as a system​

The IE5/IE6 Motor Drive System enables machine builders to solve dynamic motion tasks economically and without complex servo architecture.​

This shows how the best axis is created from the application: motor, gearbox, converter and software form a coordinated system for dynamic motion tasks. Positioning, synchronizing and demanding start-stop cycles are implemented sensorlessly. This reduces hardware, cabling and integration effort. High energy efficiency even in partial load operation and up to 300% overload capacity enable precise design without unnecessary oversizing. In this way, machine builders can achieve servo-like performance at up to 30% lower system costs and at the same time reduce commissioning effort and total cost of ownership.​

Drive Packages: The best drive solution for every motion task​

From energy-efficient conveying to synchronized multi-axis motion, we combine matched drive components into application-ready systems.

Every motion task starts with the right hardware foundation. Drive Packages combine proven motors, gearboxes, drives and system cabling into validated solutions for typical machine applications. From conveying and winding to gantry, AS/RS and synchronized motion systems, each package brings together the technologies best suited to the task. The result is a faster path from application requirements to a working motion solution, supported by coordinated interfaces, proven combinations and a consistent drive portfolio. As the physical foundation of the best axis, Drive Packages help machine builders deliver performance, efficiency and scalability with confidence.​

Our “Juggler” demonstrates how highly dynamic motion tasks can be realized with outstanding precision and minimal motion engineering effort.​

Precise motion profiles are critical to machine performance, product quality and repeatability. The Juggler brings electronic camming to life: FAST Electronic Camming enables complex motion profiles to be parameterized instead of individually programmed. The new i950 cabinet DC-Link servo drive synchronizes multiple axes with high precision while reducing installation effort through its integrated DC bus system. The new c530 controller coordinates multi-axis motion and provides the performance reserves needed for growing machine requirements. This is how the best axis translates into tangible customer value: less engineering complexity, more predictable commissioning and reproducible motion quality. Experience live how the Juggler throws and catches balls with remarkable precision and reliability.​

Software & AI: Faster to best axis​

How can AI and digital assistance simplify commissioning, engineering and service? Discover our latest concepts and innovations and discuss with us where digitally available expert knowledge can create the greatest value for machine builders.​

Software, AI and services bring expert knowledge to where it is needed. A Commissioning Agent supports setup and troubleshooting, AI-powered auto-tuning simplifies drive optimization, AI-driven ECAD Engineering accelerates replacement component selection, and an LED Analyzer helps identify errors via smartphone. The result is faster commissioning, reduced downtime and less dependency on scarce specialist expertise. Discover four forward-looking Lenze innovations that extend the best axis beyond hardware.​
