Increased efficiency in warehouse automation

E‑commerce is boom­ing and with it ware­house automa­tion. Flex­i­ble stor­age sys­tems are also in demand in ware­hous­es of large food chains, which require envi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly, sus­tain­able and intel­li­gent dri­ve con­cepts. The dri­ve spe­cial­ist NORD DRIVESYSTEMS knows exact­ly the needs of the indus­try and offers a vari­ety of dynam­ic dri­ve solu­tions that meet dif­fer­ent appli­ca­tions and require­ments in ware­house logistics.

The com­pa­ny offers cus­tomized dri­ve solu­tions for ware­house logis­tics for an opti­mal com­pro­mise between invest­ment, oper­at­ing and main­te­nance costs. The dri­ve units with motor effi­cien­cy class IE4 and sys­tem effi­cien­cy class IES2 achieve excel­lent effi­cien­cies espe­cial­ly in the par­tial load and par­tial speed range. With the lat­est gen­er­a­tion IE5+ per­ma­nent mag­net syn­chro­nous motor, even high­er ener­gy effi­cien­cy can be achieved and ener­gy con­sump­tion sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduced. The con­stant torque over a wide speed range also enables tar­get­ed vari­ant reduc­tion. In this way, admin­is­tra­tive expens­es can be min­i­mized and man­u­fac­tur­ing, logis­tics, stor­age and ser­vice process­es can be streamlined.

The decentralized frequency inverter 

The NORDAC ON decen­tral­ized fre­quen­cy invert­er was devel­oped specif­i­cal­ly for the require­ments of hor­i­zon­tal con­vey­or tech­nol­o­gy in the ware­house area and the NORDAC ON+ vari­ant for inter­ac­tion with the new IE5+ syn­chro­nous motor. It is char­ac­ter­ized by an inte­grat­ed Eth­er­net inter­face, its ease of main­te­nance due to com­plete plug­ga­bil­i­ty, and extreme­ly com­pact design, and offers an eco­nom­i­cal as well as intel­li­gent plug-and-play solu­tion for IIoT envi­ron­ments. The com­pact, smart fre­quen­cy invert­er for decen­tral­ized use can be mount­ed direct­ly on the gear­mo­tor. It cov­ers small­er pow­er ranges up to 2.2 kW and offers an ener­gy-sav­ing func­tion in the par­tial load range. The inte­grat­ed Eth­er­net inter­face reduces the effort required for inte­gra­tion into mod­ern automa­tion sys­tems: Whether ProfiNET, Eth­er­NET IP or Ether­CAT, the desired pro­to­col can be eas­i­ly set via parameters.

More efficiency in conveyor technology

The NORDAC FLEX SK 205E series is also ide­al for appli­ca­tions in ware­house logis­tics. The com­pact, decen­tral­ized, and ener­gy-effi­cient fre­quen­cy invert­er offers a wide pow­er range up to 22 kW and enables ener­gy sav­ings across the entire load range. The invert­er can be used to con­trol stan­dard asyn­chro­nous motors, high-effi­cien­cy syn­chro­nous motors and brake motors. It can be installed close to the dri­ve in the field or mount­ed on the motor.

Pow­er and data cables can be con­nect­ed in a plug-in man­ner. The decen­tral­ized sys­tem allows short motor and encoder cables as well as short sup­ply cables to sen­sors. Encoder feed­backs can be imple­ment­ed, for exam­ple, for posi­tion-con­trolled trans­port sys­tems. Since the NORDAC FLEX SK 205E offers a high over­load capac­i­ty, dynam­ic move­ments with short start and stop times or cycle oper­a­tion are also pos­si­ble. The inte­grat­ed con­trol enables high accu­ra­cy in syn­chro­nous and posi­tion­ing applications.

Modular system for optimum drive solutions

Over­all, the com­pa­ny impress­es with a wide range of prod­ucts for the ware­house sec­tor, includ­ing both estab­lished basic and high-effi­cien­cy prod­ucts. The user ben­e­fits from cus­tomized and reli­able dri­ve solu­tions that ensure opti­mum sys­tem avail­abil­i­ty. The mod­u­lar dri­ve sys­tem thus enables an opti­mum com­pro­mise between invest­ment, oper­at­ing and main­te­nance costs.
