Kendrion introduces the FIO Drive Control STO, marking its first integration of a SIL 3/PL e-certified Safe Torque Off (STO) function into the modular FIO drive solution. This compact 4-quadrant servo drive for stepper and BLDC motors incorporates the dual-channel STO directly into the module, allowing safe torque shutdown without needing an extra STO module, all within a mere 25 millimeters of width.

Kendrion to focus on high-margin industrial growth

Kendrion reports strong first half of 2026, with continuing growth in revenue and profitability

Kendrion 3T empowers manufacturers to master DALI-2. As intelligent lighting and building automation advance, DALI-2 has solidified its position as the internationally recognized reference framework for interoperable lighting control. While the DALI protocol itself appears straightforward, developing devices that reliably fulfill the IEC 62386 standard and attain DALI-2 certification entails considerable technical challenges. Kendrion 3T partners with manufacturers throughout all phases of development, optimizing procedures, minimizing risks, and expediting their path toward certification.

Kendrion combines an ultra-compact design, cost efficiency, and dependable European manufacturing. Battery-powered locking systems are becoming increasingly important in applications such as parcel lockers, locker systems, vending machines, and medical equipment and medication cabinets. At the same time, manufacturers face growing demands for energy efficiency, compact design, and supply chain reliability. The challenge is to develop compact, dependable locking solutions that maximize battery life while remaining cost-effective to manufacture.

Kendrion’s Pure Flow Pressure Regulator 48.3 helps medical device manufacturers on the path to MDR readiness. Regulatory demands for medical technology are continually intensifying. The European Medical Device Regulation (MDR), along with standards such as DIN EN ISO 10993, 15001, and 18562, is making the development, documentation, and approval processes for new medical devices increasingly complex. Kendrion's Pure Flow Pressure Regulator 48.3 offers a tailored solution for medical applications, enabling manufacturers to accelerate qualification processes and reduce overall development times.

Robotics manufacturers, system integrators, and users face the challenge of incorporating the updated requirements of ISO 10218:2025 into future robotics projects. Kendrion's Safety Architecture for Robotics provides an open solution featuring a SIL3/PLe certified Safety PLC paired with a robotics library for kinematic safety functions. The safety controller combines motion, force, and zone monitoring into a single platform, enabling targeted support for future safety requirements. The architecture, which is independent of manufacturers, can be seamlessly integrated into robotics applications that utilize EtherCAT.

Electrification is changing the way machines are designed. As manufacturers develop more compact and battery-powered equipment, motor controllers must deliver efficient, reliable and stable performance under changing loads and harsh operating conditions. Discover how VIPER Motor Control uses sensorless technology to meet these challenges.
