Wittenstein Is Coming To SPS IPC Drives With Several Innovations

Wittenstein Cyber ​​Motor GmbH has launched a new series of small servo motors with an integrated spindle on the market for use in highly dynamic positioning axes of machines and especially for assembly situations with limited installation space. The special feature: The screw drive is fully integrated in the actuator housing - the servo motor, spindle drive, linear guide and encoder system form a closed, highly integrated and ready-to-install unit. The new actuators in combination with servo controllers from the Simco Drive series from Wittenstein Motion Control GmbH offer additional added value: In application, these take over, among other things, the end position limitation and the referencing of the drives when the machine is started or restarted.The small servo motors with an integrated spindle perfectly complement the portfolio of rotary servo motors and servo actuators from the Cyber ​​Dynamic Line product family. They are used in metal forming and handling technology, the semiconductor industry, packaging machines and assembly automation, among others. The full stainless steel version with protection class IP 65 also opens up interesting applications in systems for the food and beverage industry, e.g. B. in high-precision filling plants.The full stainless steel version with protection class IP 65 also opens up interesting applications in systems for the food and beverage industry, e.g. B. in high-precision filling plants.The full stainless steel version with protection class IP 65 also opens up interesting applications in systems for the food and beverage industry, e.g. B. in high-precision filling plants.

Individual talents for each axis: the alpha Value Line transmission series

Maximum flexibility in configuration, prompt availability, lifelong reliability and economic efficiency - with these features, the modular gear series alpha Value Line from Wittenstein Alpha GmbH sets a new standard. It is designed for a performance area with medium requirements for precision, dynamics and power density. Different product versions, e.g. B. as a high-torque variant, with couplings or as a complete linear system, expand the solution space of "individual talents".

Servo worm gear V-Drive: suitable solutions for every backlash from 2 arcmin

"Whisper gear" and "lightweight" - both names describe the newly developed V-Drive Basic servo worm gear from Wittenstein Alpha GmbH. It was developed for price-sensitive applications in which there are no high-end requirements, particularly regarding the permissible backlash. At the same time, the other two members of the product family have undergone a technological upgrade in terms of torque and backlash: V-Drive Eco has resulted in V-Drive Value; and V-Drive + forms the basis for the new V-Drive Advanced. The portfolio thus offers suitable solutions for every required backlash from 2 arcmin.

Small servo drive systems enable flexible control of gripping elements

Spiders have eight legs that they can move completely independently. This makes it possible for them to adapt to any surface while running and thus climb over hill and dale. At least as flexible as the extremities of these arthropods is the gripper spider from the Austrian machine and plant manufacturer Fill, which is exhibited at the exhibition stand. This is made possible by more than a dozen small servo drive systems from Wittenstein Cyber ​​Motor GmbH. As a combination of small motors from the Cyber ​​Dynamic Line series, each with a Simco Drive drive amplifier, they make it possible to move to different linear positions without mechanical changeover - a decisive advantage compared to pneumatic drives.The compact design and low weight of the motors as well as the possibility of integrating the drive amplifiers into the Profinet fieldbus environment of the handling system also spoke in favor of the small servo drive systems.

Drive system with Industry 4.0 connectivity: Smart electronics in heavy-duty use

Electrical screwdriving systems for heavy-duty use, such as those manufactured by the company Alkitronic from Ingolstadt, are used in a variety of industries, including power plants, tunnel and bridge construction, mining, steel, heavy machinery and heavy engine construction, and the maintenance of Aircraft and in plants for regenerative energies such. B. Wind farms. For a new screwdriver system from the manufacturer, which can also be seen at the exhibition stand, Wittenstein Electronics GmbH has developed a customer-specific, sensorless synchronous motor and smart electronics integrated into the housing. The motor is housed in a cylindrical sleeve housing that is easy to integrate and service. One of the special features of this drive system is that it can be positioned without sensors at maximum torque when at a standstill.The newly conceived, fully digital electronics enable highly complex screwing operations for the first time and offer a special degree of control and communication technology intelligence. B. Tightening processes can be better monitored and documented. In addition, it has an integrated operator interface with display and keyboard control and, thanks to data logging, Bluetooth transmission and measurement data evaluation via smartphone or tablet, fulfills basic requirements for use in the Industry 4.0 environment.In addition, it has an integrated operator interface with display and keyboard control and, thanks to data logging, Bluetooth transmission and measurement data evaluation via smartphone or tablet, fulfills basic requirements for use in the Industry 4.0 environment.In addition, it has an integrated operator interface with display and keyboard control and, thanks to data logging, Bluetooth transmission and measurement data evaluation via smartphone or tablet, fulfills basic requirements for use in the Industry 4.0 environment.
