SUSTAINABILITY IN MANUFACTURING
Condition monitoring is essential in maintaining the availability of the equipment. Remote monitoring of production flow and quality inspection provides real-time visibility for immediate intervention, and facilitates the tracking of trends in performance, to identify areas where improvements can be made. Turck Banner’s wireless sensors and
networks make it easy for manufacturers to position sensors where needed, to gather the performance data and also to relocate sensors to pinpoint areas for improvement. Turck and Banner have decades of experience
with process automation in explosion-proof areas and every industry sector. In fact Turck is the only manufacturer which can provide Zone 2 IP67 remote I/O solutions, which can be
mounted directly to the outside of a machine without the need for an enclosure. The combined portfolio of Turck and Banner
sensors, safety, lighting, indication, vision, fieldbus, networking, HMI, I/O, connectivity, measurement, interface technology and cloud solutions enable them to offer the right solutions for industry’s requirements.

SUPPLEMENT
“With so much competition in these markets,
manufacturers cannot afford the time needed to plan, build, program and test a new production line using traditional methods”
The number of different types of battery cell required to fit all of the different vehicle types demands flexibility in the production line, and modularity is key to achieving this

IE5/IE7 MOTOR DRIVE SYSTEM FROM LENZE MEETS INDUSTRY’S ENERGY EFFICIENCY DEMANDS
Lenze has introduced a compact IE5/IE7 motor drive system that meets the growing demand for energy efficient and sustainability in industry. The drive system, which performs without
sensors even in dynamic applications, consists of the m550/m650 motor, the g500 gearboxes and the newest generation of variable frequency drives, the i550 and i650. According to the company, the first
synchronous motor is as easy to use as an asynchronous motor and, thanks to its innovative design, it achieves energy efficiency classes IE5 and IE7. Furthermore, motor losses can be reduced by up to 60%, significantly
lowering energy requirements and CO2 emissions, and its 300% overload torque accelerates the motor from standstill to full load – a benefit for the beverage industry, the textile industry and intralogistics, for example. In fact the solution has already been tested in the intralogistics sector, as Klaus Dierkes, product manager Electromechanics at Lenze, explains: “Our customers are primarily interested in lower energy costs and reducing their carbon footprint. This is a very big issue, especially in logistics, and we can deliver this with the m550.”
The new synchronous motor m550 is available in the power range 0.25 - 11 kW, with the m650 for more dynamic applications in 0.75 - 22 kW. Both can be seamlessly combined with helical, angular or bevel gearboxes from the Lenze modular system.
EFFICIENCY IS CRUCIAL During the design phase, the first test customers worked with Lenze’s new System Designer, resulting in a precisely dimensioned drive solution and an energy- efficient machine concept. Dierkes comments: “Efficiency and usability are crucial for our customers. One must only enter one parameter to set the motor data on the variable frequency drive. There is no encoder, therefore less wiring, no adjustments and fewer components.” A further benefit is the sensorless feedback – no encoder, no expensive feedback system, no expensive cables. Plus, mounting and installation are quick and safe, contributing to the reliability of the system. If the motor is controlled with the
decentralised variable frequency drives i550 or i650 motec, there is even less need for hardware, as brake resistors are not required. The regenerative unit integrated in the motec feeds any braking energy back into the mains; and the i500 cabinet frequency drives can also exchange excess energy via the DC network, making it available to other axes. So, as the company explains, the system
makes life easier for the user, scores highly in terms of energy efficiency, and offers the potential for servo solutions.
