The motor driven roller from Lenze

February 10, 2024

Increase plant reliability with IO-Link master

November 10, 2023

For transparent production, it is no longer enough to know that the pressure sensor on a bottling line, for example, could fail. It is more important to know exactly when the pressure valve will fail in order to intervene preventively and avoid unplanned downtimes. Direct access to the drives via IO-Link provides high-quality data, which can be sent to the cloud as a standardized MQTT telegram via the Lenze DriveData Hub software. They serve as the basis for IIoT services such as asset management, with condition monitoring or predictive maintenance, and ensure trouble-free machine operation. Watch the video

Optimize a drive in 60 seconds

September 10, 2021

Machines function optimally when the drives are perfectly adapted to the power train. This ensures that a high-quality product is produced at the highest machine cycle rate with a minimum production error rate. To achieve this, the control loop in the inverter is set to be machine-specific. Until now, a drive expert would need several hours to complete this task during the commissioning phase. The time required for this manual setting would depend on the complexity of the motor control loop. But now, this adjustment can be done faster – and better. Read more

From simulation to virtual commissioning

July 24, 2021

The vision of Industry 4.0 is closely linked to the digital twin. However, since the degree of standardisation of the individual development tools is currently still low, there are still considerable gaps in the consistency, says Lenze. “In the field of simulation, some of these can now be closed. As a result, digital engineering already offers significant efficiency gains today.” Read more  [Source: machinebuilding.net]
