Lenze's SMD inverters have solved a problem of costly downtime, as a result of motors burning out on PVA emulsion pumps at Grosvenor Chemicals, which manufactures a diverse range of chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates at its UK plant.
Lenze SMD drives have been specified by Seepex pumps for supply with its range of innovative progressive cavity pumps. Simplicity of installation and operation was key to the company’s decision to specify the range of smd drives varying from 0.75kW up to 22kW. High torque on start-up was also a prime feature of the drives.
The Lenze MDERA series are 3 phase asynchronous motors with totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) design. Suiting general purpose use, they combine Lenze quality with competitive pricing in 2, 4 and 6 pole speeds from 56 to 355 frame.
A force voltage half wave rectifier suitable for faster energising of larger d.c. brakes. When the a.c. supply is switched on the unit transmits the full waveform for about 0.5 seconds. It then switches internally to transmit half the waveform for holding the brake.
Three phase AC motors are comprised of two major components, the stator and the rotor. The stator is a set of three electrical windings held stationary in the motor housing. The rotor is a metal cylinder, fixed to the motor drive shaft, which rotates within the stator.
Baginto AB bakery in Sweden has been able to upgrade its mixing and dough preparation equipment, improving productivity and flexibility with Lenze SMD and SMVector IP65 inverter drives. The highly compact SMD drives are ideal for retrofitting in existing panels at the bakery.
Lenze's popular SMVector range of IP65 inverter drives is now available with a polycarbonate enclosure to provide added U.V. protection for outdoor applications. To guarantee outdoor practicality for the entire range, the larger inverter drives (above 7.5KW) also include IP65 rated cooling fans, protecting them from high humidity and low pressure jets of water from any direction.
Once thought to be only a job for PLCs, indexing is a full function of the Position Servo drive because of its integrated PLC function. A glass manufacturer in Poland has integrated the Lenze Americas PositionServo drive into its glass coating machine. The machine is comprised of 20 identical sections and is part of a larger glass coating line.
The SMVector continues our price leadership tradition in the highly competitive AC drive market. Its performance and flexibility make it an attractive solution for a broad range of applications including Food processing machinery, Packaging machinery, Material handling/conveying systems, HVAC systems.
Leading global manufacturer of electrical and mechanical drives, motion control and automation technology, Lenze Americas, announced today that the company won a 2015 Engineers' Choice award, sponsored by Control Engineering. Lenze's Smart Motor product was recognized in the category of motion control.
The Model 940 is a fully programmable high performance Torque, Velocity and Position brushless servo drive with powerful performance & innovative features! Unlike most servo products, the Model 940 from Lenze-AC Technology Corp. combines many technological advances in a standard product.
Raypak, the developer of the original low mass, high recovery copper fin tube boiler, is headquartered in Oxnard California. "To address temperature fluctuation, we developed our own Cold Water Run electronic controls that provide constant condensation protection to our boilers," says Raypak Director of Engineering Robert Glass.
Multi-Pak is renowned for designing, engineering, developing and supporting its own packaging machines. These particular machines are typically used for cosmetic samples. Having developed robust and reliable foil pouch filling machines using mechanical web tensioning and liquid filling processes, the electronically controlled alternative solution from Lenze Americas had to show significant benefits.
Chem-Flow, based in Chicago, IL, specializes in manufacturing chemical feed systems for varied chemical processing markets. In developing exact dispensing and metering solutions Chem-Flow pays a great deal of attention to choosing the right AC drives.
A manufacturer of liquid mixing devices, Sonic Corporation produces in-line, high pressure homogenizing systems used to process liquid emulsions in the Personal Care, Pharmaceutical, Food & Beverage and Chemical industries. These systems incorporate Positive Displacement (PD) pumps including gear, reciprocating, or progressing cavity pumps, that are driven by solid state motors.
In San Bernardino, California, MacroAir Technologies designs and manufactures air circulation products. One of MacroAir's latest innovations, the six-blade high volume low speed (HVLS) industrial fan outperforms the company's own highly successful ten-blade fan series by requiring 40% less aluminum and 13% less power in its manufacture and it weighs in at 30% less.
