Transfer systems
Electric lift transverse unit
Schnaithmann has developed a purely electrically operated lift transverse unit (eHQE) as the first step on the way to a fully electric transfer system. In the electric version, two EC geared motors are used for the chain drive and lift.
According to the automation specialist, the electronically commutated, brushless and therefore wear-free 24-volt DC motors are extremely efficient and allow infinitely variable speed control. On the one hand, this allows ramp-shaped movement profiles to be generated, which is very beneficial for the conveyed goods. On the other hand, the conveying speed can be easily varied between five and 15 meters per minute.
An integrated Hall sensor enables precise positioning tasks. Additional position sensors are not necessary; an electronic holding brake ensures the corresponding positional safety. The motors are controlled via an integrated control module and communication takes place via Profinet. This enables comprehensive drive diagnostics to be carried out if required. The module is currently undergoing endurance tests and should be available from quarter 4/2019. as
