NORD Drivesystems, one of the leading drive specialists, is set to showcase its innovative and energy-efficient drive units tailored for the intralogistics industry at the International Trade Show for Intralogistics Solutions and Process Management. The event is scheduled to take place from March 19 to 21, 2024, at LogiMAT in Stuttgart.
Established in 1965, NORD Drivesystems has evolved into one of the global leaders with approximately 4,700 employees working on developing, producing, and selling cutting-edge drive technology. As a full-service provider, NORD offers not only standard drives but also tailors application-specific concepts and solutions to meet unique requirements, including energy-saving drives and explosion-protected systems.
In the 2021 financial year, NORD achieved annual sales of 870 million Euros, showcasing its robust market presence. With 48 subsidiaries in 36 countries and sales partners in over 50 countries, NORD ensures extensive global coverage. These subsidiaries and partners provide technical support, local stocks, assembly centers, and customer service, demonstrating NORD’s commitment to delivering unparalleled customer satisfaction.
NORD specializes in developing and producing a diverse range of drive solutions catering to more than 100 industries. The company offers gear units with torques ranging from 10 Nm up to over 282 kNm, electric motors in the power range of 0.12 kW to 1,000 kW, and the necessary power electronics with frequency inverters of up to 160 kW. NORD’s inverter solutions are available for both conventional control cabinet installations and decentralized, fully integrated drive units, providing versatility to meet varied industry needs.
LogiMAT, a vital event in the ever-changing logistics landscape, offers a platform for industry professionals to explore innovative technologies and solutions. From procurement to production and deliveries, LogiMAT provides a comprehensive overview, setting trends and showcasing visions that contribute to the rationalization, process optimization, and cost reduction of in-company logistics processes. With a focus on practical knowledge, LogiMAT is a key resource for staying informed and adapting to the dynamic demands of the market.
Intralogistics demands seamless transportation of parcels with varying weights over considerable distances, necessitating performance, reliability, and energy efficiency in drive technology. NORD DRIVESYSTEMS addresses these specific requirements with its purpose-designed drive solutions, which will be prominently featured at LogiMAT.
One of the key highlights is the DuoDrive gear unit/motor combination developed specifically for intralogistics applications. This innovative solution integrates a highly efficient IE5+ synchronous motor from NORD into a helical gear unit, achieving an exceptional level of efficiency. With a constant torque across a broad speed range, the DuoDrive enables a significant reduction in drive variants within a system. This reduction not only minimizes administrative costs but also streamlines service processes.
The IE5+ synchronous motor, with an impressive efficiency rating of 95%, surpasses even the highest defined efficiency class, IE5. This reflects NORD DRIVESYSTEMS’ commitment to providing reliable and energy-efficient solutions that meet and exceed industry standards. Complementing the DuoDrive, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS offers decentralized NORDAC ON frequency inverters, optimized for the demands of horizontal conveyor technology. Featuring a compact design, easy maintenance, and full pluggability, these inverters are ideal for large intralogistics systems with diverse drive units. The NORDAC ON+ version is specially designed for compatibility with the IE5+ motor, ensuring a seamless integration process.
In addition to delivering cutting-edge drive components, NORD supports its customers with comprehensive services. The NORD ECO service, for instance, assists in identifying the most efficient drive solution for a specific application. By analyzing the energy consumption behavior of a system using advanced measuring devices, NORD can pinpoint areas where the system may operate inefficiently and provide recommendations for optimizing drive solutions.
At the LogiMAT exhibition, NORD will also unveil its sustainability program, reaffirming the company’s vision towards acting in an ecologically, economically, and socially responsible manner. This pledge aligns with the Supply Chain Act, providing assurance to customers who prioritize responsible and sustainable business practices. NORD Drivesystems invites attendees to explore its drive solutions for intralogistics at LogiMAT, where the company will be present at Stand 3C41 in Hall 3.
