BUILD SMARTER, SAVE MORE: THE EDGE IN MODERN MACHINE BUILDING
In today’s fast-paced industrial landscape, machine builders face increasing demands to deliver solutions that are not only high-performing but also energy-efficient and sustainable. Lenze’s drive solutions offer the tools needed to stay ahead of the curve, providing both technological innovation and tangible benefits that align with the evolving needs of the industry
M
achine builders are constantly challenged to create machinery that meets the dual demands of efficiency and sustainability. This balance often involves trade-offs between performance, cost and environmental impact. Lenze’s solutions – particularly its i-series drives and the innovative o450 motor-driven roller – are designed to minimise these trade-offs by delivering on all fronts. Klaus Dierkes, product manager
Lenze’s i-series drives
for Electromechanic at Lenze, encapsulates this challenge: “The decentralised drive packages consisting of gearbox, three-phase motor in IE3 and inverter, or g + m + i for short, are characterised by their simplicity and high energy efficiency in use. The regenerative capability of the new decentralised i550 motec demonstrably saves electricity and thus proves to be particularly sustainable.” For machine builders, this translates into
creating machinery that not only meets industry standards but also offers long-term energy savings, making it a compelling choice for customers focused on sustainability.
THE COMPETITIVE EDGE WITH i-SERIES DRIVE SOLUTIONS One of the standout offerings for machine builders is Lenze’s i-series drive solutions, including the i550 motec. These drives provide precise motor control that adapts to the specific needs of the machine, optimising energy use and enhancing overall performance. For machine builders, this means offering customers machinery that not only meets but exceeds efficiency standards. Philipp Heidrich, product manager
Electromechanic at Lenze, emphasises the practical benefits: “The i550 motec inverter, with its modular design and flexible integration, allows machine builders to tailor solutions to specific applications without the need for extensive modifications. This adaptability, coupled with energy-saving features, means you can offer your customers a solution that
builders need to ensure that their machines meet stringent environmental regulations. Lenze’s drive solutions are designed to help achieve this. The energy efficiency inherent in their products not only reduces the carbon footprint of the machinery but also aligns with global sustainability goals and legislative requirements. Lea-Sophie Garstka, product manager at Lenze, reflects on this challenge: “Reconciling sustainability and profitability is the big challenge. The Mechatronic Competence Campus (MCC) offers an ideal environment for efficiently exchanging ideas with colleagues. Based on my
is both efficient and future-proof.” The i550 motec’s regenerative capability, which allows for the recovery of energy during deceleration phases, further enhances its appeal by reducing operational costs and supporting sustainable practices.
SIMPLIFIED INTEGRATION AND MAINTENANCE Lenze’s solutions are designed with the machine builder in mind, offering simplified integration that saves time and reduces complexity during the assembly process. The modular nature of the i-series drives allows them to be easily incorporated into new or existing systems, providing a seamless fit that minimises the need for extensive modifications. Products like the o450 motor-driven roller
illustrate Lenze’s focus on practical, efficient design. By integrating the motor directly within the roller, Lenze eliminates the need for bulky gearboxes and other components, resulting in a more streamlined and efficient design. This not only makes the machine easier to build but also simplifies maintenance, reducing downtime and increasing the overall reliability of the machinery.
ENHANCED SUSTAINABILITY AND COMPLIANCE In an era where sustainability is no longer optional but a business imperative, machine
degree in industrial engineering, I have already been able to contribute some thought-provoking ideas to processes and production and make a contribution to Lenze's sustainability strategy.” For machine builders, incorporating Lenze’s solutions means being able to offer end users equipment that is compliant with current and future environmental standards. This positions your machines as a forward-thinking choice in a competitive market, appealing to customers who prioritise sustainability alongside performance.
FUTURE-PROOFING YOUR MACHINES WITH LENZE For machine builders looking to stay competitive in an evolving market, investing in Lenze’s energy-efficient and smart drive solutions is a strategic decision. These products not only meet the high demands of modern industry but also provide a range of benefits that enhance machine performance, reduce complexity, and ensure compliance with environmental standards. By choosing Lenze, you are not just investing
in components – you are investing in the future of your business and the satisfaction of your customers. With Lenze’s drive solutions, you can build machines that are ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow, today.
