Modular drive system for industrial automation
Among the new products that drive technology company Maxon Motor will be presenting to visitors at the Hannover Messe are power-boosted flat motors, a new line of modular industrial drives and DC motors and right-angle gearboxes from Parvalux - the newest member of the Maxon Group.
Special attention will be paid to the new IDX line: a modular drive system for applications in industrial automation or logistics automation, which consists of a motor and integrated EPOS4 electronics and can be easily integrated into various applications. The IDX compact drives will be configurable online in future.
Motor manufacturer Parvalux will be making a special appearance at the trade fair stand this year. The company from the south of England has been part of the Maxon Group since the beginning of the year and is enriching the product portfolio with DC and AC motors up to 1.5 kilowatts as well as matching right-angle gearboxes. These are used in a variety of applications - from stair lifts and transport systems to industrial robots.
Maxon has also given its brushless flat motors (with diameters of 60 and 90 millimetres) more power: A new design results in significant increases of up to 100 percent. Both the EC 60-flat and EC 90-flat drives are now available as power-up versions - either with an open rotor or with a mounted fan. Thanks to the optimized cooling of the motor, the EC 60 flat now delivers 200 watts of power; the EC 90 flat even achieves 600 watts. The flat motors are particularly suitable for applications where space is limited but high drive power is still required, such as logistics applications like conveyor drives or unmanned vehicles.
The company is also presenting other innovations such as the ENX EASY XT encoder for use in harsh environments and the tiny, brushless ECX Speed with a diameter of 6 millimeters, which, like all X drives, can be configured online.
