Servomotors
Drives for automated guided vehicles
Autonomously navigating vehicles are currently revolutionizing warehouse logistics. Many large and medium-sized companies are undergoing a technological rethink. The first machines are now carrying out their work in warehouses independently and reliably.
Heidrive has also shifted the focus of its development and production to high-performance and compact servomotors for the logistics and automation industry. With their directly mounted planetary, angular or cycloidal gears, with or without integrated electronics, they become drive units for driverless transport systems.
The HeiMotion drives are available in flange dimensions of 40, 60, 80 and 100 mm, either as HMP motors for 320/560VDC applications or as HMD motors for 24/48 VDC applications. All motor types are available with a wide range of options such as integrated or surface-mounted electronics/control, an optional brake and various encoder systems.
Thanks to their high efficiency, they achieve an output power of up to 1500 W at a voltage of 48 VDC and flange dimensions of 80 x 80 mm. For correspondingly high load currents of up to 40 A in continuous operation, the customer receives drives with the appropriate cables - both in the radial direction and as an angled screw connection or axially out of the motor. The signal cable can be plugged in or is also available in a suitable length as a cable.
The use of integrated, surface-mounted or remote controllers in the vehicle enables a wide range of special solutions for every installation space. All controllers also feature STO (Safe Torque Off), which means that the power supply to the drive is interrupted immediately in an emergency. A controlled shutdown (SS1) of the vehicle can therefore be implemented using additional safety technology. These and other safety functions in accordance with IEC 61800-5-2 can also be implemented by the controller itself on request. An encoder signal is provided for the higher-level safety controller, so an additional safety sensor is not required.
Further advantages result from direct gearbox mounting without a clutch. This allows the overall length to be reduced and the efficiency and service life to be increased. The attachment to the vehicle chassis can be designed flexibly. Thanks to their reinforced bearings and adapted geometry, the gearboxes are suitable for wheel mounting and are suitable for high radial loads and peak torques.
With a modular system based on three servo motor series (HeiMotion Premium, HeiMotion Dynamic and HeiMotion Compact) and various customer-specific options, such as connectors, encoders or cables, there are over 100 million configuration options. Heidrive will be presenting a selection of servomotors for the robotics and automation sector at SPS.
