PowerDRIVE-System Fully automatic positioning drives and drive solutions

The innovative PowerDRIVE-System reduces set-up times and increases flexibility In the past, formats were adjusted time-consumingly by hand, however these days modern production plants are both efficient and versatile. The requirements on modern production plants are becoming more and more demanding from year to year. With an increasing number of product variants, production plants and packaging plants must become increasingly flexible. At the same time, operating companies expect a high level of utilisation of machinery and plants. For this reason, format changes are only allowed to take a...

PowerDRIVE-System The fully automatic complete solution Easy integration, quicker changes, fewer sources of error -but the innovative positioning system has much more to offer. A change in batch size and frequent product changes require quick conversion of production plants and machines. If this task is still performed by handwheel, valuable time may be lost. This is particularly the case on processing smaller batch sizes. Furthermore, manual conversion does not ensure absolute repeat accuracy. To save time, money and trouble, it is better to rely on innovative solutions: fully-automated...

PowerDRIVE A format change can be so efficient The compact and fully automatic positioning drives can be completely integrated into a wide range of machinery and plants. The core of the system is formed by the compact positioning drives PowerDRIVE specially developed for fully automatic format adjustment. Each positioning drive forms a complete mechatronic unit, consisting of a DC brushless motor, a novel magnetic multiturn absolute rotary encoder, a 32-bit microcontroller, a compact power amplifier, as well as an efficient spur gear. Optionally, robust stainless steel housings (1.4301) or...

The PowerDRIVE reduces the set-up times on format adjustment. ■ DC brushless motor ■ Compact spur gear ■ Designs: - Compact with length of 163 mm - Short with length of 125 mm - Angled gear with total length of 221 mm ■ Robust housing made of stainless steel (1.4301) or aluminium (AlMgSi), sealed using Viton ■ Magnetic absolute multiturn sensor ■ Operating temperatures -10 °C to + 60 °C ■ Integrated joystick

PowerDRIVE Unrivalled in continuous cyclic operation The innovative drive solution is optimised for usage in the food and feed industry. High requirements are placed on machines for the food sector, as food must be transported, dispensed, packed and labelled under hygienic conditions. As such all areas of the machinery, above all the parts that carry product, must be easy to clean. Such machinery often operates continuously. To ensure a long service life, the drive solution used must not be overloaded. At the same time, the drives must operate quietly and evenly to prevent damage to...

■ DC brushless motor ■ 0.25 Nm in cyclic operation (at 50% duty cycle, 500 ms) ■ Operating torque 0.4 Nm ■ Laser-welded stainless steel housing (1.4301), sealed using Viton ■ Compact size (80 mm x 80 mm x 80 mm) ■ Incremental measuring system with proximity switch input for referencing ■ Optional with single turn absolute sensor

PowerDRIVE-Box Full power with half the effort The decentral control unit minimises the wiring effort and has an extremely flexible interface. Each positioning drive is part of a complete system and must be integrated into the plant control system. This task is very simple with the decentral control unit. Up to 5 PowerDRIVEs can be connected to the PowerDRIVE-Box. The motor power for the positioning drives connected is monitored and switched by the integrated power management in the PowerDRIVE-Box. Simple, powerful communication The communication with the plant control system is via the...

The PowerDRIVE-Box optimises component management. IP 20 design ■ Integrated power management for up to 5 PowerDRIVEs ■ Electronic fuse for cable protection ■ Plug-in interface modules ■ Robust housing made of stainless steel or die-cast aluminium ■ Automatic configuration and setting of parameters for the PowerDRIVEs ■ Easy to install connection technology with PowerDRIVE-Connect

PowerDRIVE-Connect Reliable connection with easy disconnection The electrical connection with the hybrid cable suitable for drag chains saves time and money during maintenance and installation. in principle the PowerDRIVEs can be integrated directly in a higher level plant control system via CANopen or PROFIBUS-DP. However it is significantly easier to connect the positioning drives to the decentral control unit PowerDRIVE-Box using the hybrid cable PowerDRIVE-Connect. In this case the hybrid cable replaces two fieldbus cables and the separate power supply. This aspect saves time and...

The freely configurable PowerDRIVE-Connect hybrid cables are the ideal supplement. A well though-out system also makes the electrical interfacing easy. With the new hybrid connectors, wiring the positioning drives and the PowerDRIVE-Box is child's play. The motto here is "plug-and-play". A freely configurable hybrid cable is included in the scope of supply. This cable offers the advantage that it can be matched to the related connection situation. The cable is manufactured in lengths from 3 to 20 m as required. The hybrid cable is available with pre-assembled connection terminals for the...

Autonomous PowerDRIVE-System solution Autonomous PowerDRIVE-System solution Modifying a complex plant efficiently Fully automatic format adjustment makes an existing packaging line more efficient. As a rule, the switch cabinet must also be modified or extended during extensive modernisation work. Or the program for the plant control system must be expanded. Only by means of the optimal interaction between the hardware used and the specific application software can ideal results be achieved in the production process. The level of automation plays a key role in the productivity and quality of...
