In today's era of rapid advancement in industrial automation, equipment safety has become a primary concern for numerous enterprises. On one hand, as global safety standards become increasingly stringent—particularly regarding the rising safety performance requirements in high-end markets such as the EU and North America—companies face significant hurdles. These include the inability to export products due to a lack of necessary certifications and a lack of competitiveness in overseas tenders. On the other hand, traditional servo drives suffer from numerous safety deficiencies—such as delayed safety responses and prolonged braking times—which embed potential safety hazards within the equipment. Should a safety incident occur, it could result in massive economic losses and severe reputational damage for the enterprise.
Addressing these critical customer pain points, and leveraging years of technical expertise in the servo drive sector, Leadshine has launched the 2ELD2 series of dual-axis DC servo drives. These drives have successfully obtained STO certification from SGS, providing customers with authoritative international validation to help them overcome export barriers, enhance safety, and boost operational efficiency.
Three Core Pain Points in Equipment Export
• High Safety Standard Thresholds: Entering high-end markets in Europe and North America requires compliance with SIL 3/PL e standards; achieving this through independent R&D and certification involves lengthy cycles and high costs.
• Significant Risk of Failure: Issues such as delayed drive safety responses and prolonged braking times can trigger equipment downtime, production interruptions, and even pose safety risks to personnel.
• Stringent Scenario Adaptability Requirements: Industries such as logistics and warehousing, automotive manufacturing, 3C electronics, and medical equipment impose diverse and specific challenges regarding the environmental tolerance and continuous operational reliability of servo drives.
Backed by International Certification: Robust Technology Forms a Solid Foundation
The core STO (Safe Torque Off) function within Leadshine’s 2ELD2-CAN/RS series of dual-axis DC servo drives has achieved the high international safety ratings of SIL 3 and PL e. This certification strictly adheres to multiple international functional safety standards, including EN ISO 13849 and EN IEC 61508. Concurrently, Leadshine Robotics’ encoder products have also obtained functional safety certification; together, this comprehensive solution enables equipment to achieve a closed-loop functional safety system, thereby significantly enhancing both system reliability and personnel safety levels.
Safety Compliance: Significantly Boosting Market Competitiveness
With the Leadshine 2ELD2-CAN/RS series dual-axis DC servo drives having successfully passed SGS STO certification, our customers' equipment can now achieve world-class safety performance, resulting in a substantial boost to their competitiveness in overseas markets. In international bidding scenarios, this advantage empowers customers to capture a larger share of the high-end market and realize premium revenue growth.
Stable and Reliable: Enhanced Operational Assurance
The Leadshine 2ELD2-CAN/RS series dual-axis DC servo drives utilize high-quality components and advanced manufacturing processes to ensure exceptional stability and reliability. In practical applications, the products exhibit an extremely low failure rate and are capable of stable, continuous operation over extended periods, thereby providing robust assurance for our customers' production processes. Furthermore, the products' safety performance has received authoritative certification, offering customers greater peace of mind during operation and eliminating concerns regarding potential safety incidents.
Backed by Authoritative Endorsement: Quality Proven by Strength
As a globally authoritative certification body, SGS-TÜV Saar upholds rigorous certification processes and exceptionally high standards, serving as a recognized benchmark for safety and quality within the global industrial sector. Furthermore, the TÜV mark acts as a distinguished "calling card for safety"—widely recognized across European and international markets—enabling products bearing the TÜV mark to rapidly gain the trust of overseas clients.
Leadshine consistently upholds the highest standards of safety and quality. Multiple product series from Leadshine Robotics have successfully passed rigorous certification by SGS. In particular, the company's encoder products are highly adaptable to functional safety applications—such as robotic joint modules and motor systems—thereby minimizing redundant certification efforts and accelerating project implementation. Furthermore, by complying with major international safety standards, these products provide robust support for market entry into overseas regions, further solidifying the safety and reliability of our customers' system solutions.
The certification of Leadshine's quality not only validates the robust capabilities of our products in terms of functional safety and reliability, but also further completes the international certification matrix for Leadshine’s servo product line. It serves as a benchmark for the safety upgrades of domestically produced industrial control components, thereby showcasing the technological prowess of "Intelligent Manufacturing in China."
The recent acquisition of the SGS-TÜV Saar functional safety certification represents not merely a technological milestone for Leadshine within the realm of industrial control safety; it is, more importantly, a significant embodiment of our customer-centric approach and our commitment to the business philosophy of "Empowering Customers, Creating Shared Success." Leadshine looks forward to engaging in open collaboration with partners worldwide to drive "Intelligent Manufacturing in China" toward even higher standards and greater levels of excellence.
