NORD DRIVESYSTEMS is offering a highly efficient and economical alternative solution in the form of decentralised drive systems with controlled frequency inverters for end-of-line packaging. The use of decentralised drive solutions with controlled frequency inverters can achieve cost benefits of up to 50% depending on the type of system and application.
End-of-line packaging involves heavy loads, high forces, long travel distances, and lower requirements for precision and dynamics. Drives with centrally controlled servo motors are commonly used in end-of-line packaging. However, in applications with large inertia or long movement distances – for example, palletising, stabilising or handling – they are usually not mandatory. Decentralised drive solutions, for example, with controlled asynchronous motors, are an efficient and economical alternative in this context.
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS is highly familiar with the industry’s requirements and implements modular drive concepts that are precisely tailored to the specific application and customer requirements. Asynchronous motors with decentrally controlled frequency inverters offer decisive advantages for end-of-line packaging. Due to their high inertia, they ensure better movement control than conventional servo solutions that must be adjusted to the respective application via large gear ratios. Furthermore, they enable the highest process stability, reduce vibrations, and the risk of damaging the load or packaging machine.
An additional important advantage of using decentralised frequency inverters, such as NORDAC BASE SK 180E, NORDAC FLEX SK 200E, NORDAC LINK SK 250E, or NORDAC ON SK 300P, is the elimination of components such as control cabinets and wiring, which significantly reduces the setup effort. With a modular concept, the drive also remains maximally flexible, as changes to the system architecture can be made at any time without large structural modifications, and additional drives can be easily added later without changes to the control cabinet.
Asynchronous motors with decentrally controlled frequency inverters and encoder feedback via absolute or incremental encoders enable highly economic and precise positioning applications and dynamic movement of large and heavy packaging units. This technology is a real alternative for application fields such as end-of-line packaging, where heavy loads and high forces are the norms. Depending on the system type and application, the savings can amount to up to 50%.
Apart from the cost benefits, the use of decentralised drive solutions with controlled frequency inverters also offers other advantages. These include low procurement costs, constructive freedom in machine design, faster commissioning, simplified maintenance and repair processes, and maximally flexible drive solutions.
In conclusion, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS’ decentralised drive solutions with controlled frequency inverters are an efficient and economical alternative for end-of-line packaging applications. The company’s expertise in the industry’s requirements and implementation of modular drive concepts that are precisely tailored to the specific application and customer requirements make them a reliable partner for businesses looking to optimise their end-of-line packaging processes.
