Perfect material flow thanks to NORD

High availability and precision, intelligence, system expertise and the fulfilment of demanding safety criteria while at the same time reducing the number of variants: automated warehouse systems place high demands on drives in horizontal and vertical conveyor technology. With our drive solutions, you can optimally fulfil these requirements and operate your warehouse logistics processes as economically and reliably as possible.

Drive solutions for warehouse logistics

Choosing the right drive components is crucial for the efficiency and safety of your conveyor systems in warehouse logistics. We have many years of experience in drive design and know what is important. Our wide range includes both established basic and high-efficiency products and guarantees optimum system availability. Thanks to the possibility of variant reduction and significant energy savings through customised drive concepts, NORD drives can achieve increased performance with reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) in every application.

Efficient warehouse automation

Whether chain or roller conveyors, for pallet or container conveyor technology or overhead conveyors: we have the right solution for every requirement in warehouse logistics. Our drive systems are characterised by high reliability, a long service life, low maintenance requirements and a very compact design. They offer fast commissioning and simple operation, are ideal for reducing the number of drive variants and can be used in warehouses around the world thanks to international certifications.

Conveyor drives for warehouse logistics:

  • High reliability in operation
  • Reduction of drive variants
  • Flexible modular system
  • Compact design, low weight
  • Large selection of centralised and decentralised drive electronics
  • Maximum user-friendliness
  • Plug-and-play technology
  • Outstanding price-performance ratio

Economical drive solutions for end-of-line packaging

In end-of-line packaging, drives with centrally controlled servo motors are widespread. However, for applications with high mass inertia or long travel distances - for example palletising, stabilising or handling - these are generally not absolutely necessary. Decentralised drive solutions, for example with controlled asynchronous motors, represent an efficient and economical alternative here. With our modular drive concepts, which are tailored precisely to your specific application requirements, you can achieve considerable cost savings.

We ensure movement - horizontally & vertically

For conveyor technology in warehouse logistics, we realise compact system solutions that meet the highest standards of reliability and efficiency. Our drive systems are particularly easy to service and maintain, have a high overload capacity and guarantee smooth operation. Roller conveyors, chain conveyors and corner transfer units in particular benefit from this.

Our conveyor drives are ideal for

  • Chain conveyors
  • Roller conveyors
  • Belt conveyors
  • Pallet conveyors
  • Container conveyors
  • Overhead conveyors

Roller conveyors are versatile transport systems for handling defined conveyed goods. NORD drives can be individually controlled to intelligently adjust the speed along the track - for precise, dynamic control of the distances and accumulation of the conveyed goods.

Chain conveyors are primarily used to transport heavy load units and industrial containers. We supply correspondingly robust drive solutions with proven durability and reliability - in both single and double strand configurations. Our decentralised inverters are often used in warehouse logistics.

Corner transfer units are a combination of roller and chain conveyors that can be used to change direction by 90°. The unit loads are picked up or transferred by chain conveyors by raising or lowering the chain.

More flexibility, lower costs

We offer you a wide selection of decentralised drive technology that can be individually adapted to your application and flexibly integrated into the system field. Whether mounted on the motor or decentralised, close to the motor: Our frequency inverters are quick to install, uncomplicated to operate and compatible with all standard bus systems and control systems on the market. They have a power range of up to 22 kW as well as an integrated PLC as standard and can also be supplied with standard connectors. Thanks to their modular design, the inverters are easy to expand and offer an impressive variety of application scenarios for your warehouse logistics applications.

Advantages of decentralised conveyor drives from NORD:

  • Large modular product range of decentralised drive technology
  • Frequency inverters with multi-protocol Ethernet interface
  • Integrated PLC for drive-related functions
  • Can be integrated into any system design
  • Scalable in function and performance

NORDAC ON: Industry-optimised inverter for decentralised use

We have developed the NORDAC ON especially for the requirements of horizontal conveyor technology in the warehouse sector. The compact, smart frequency inverter for decentralised use covers all typical warehouse logistics requirements thanks to standardisation. All connections are pluggable and ensure fast, uncomplicated and error-minimising commissioning and maintenance on site. The integrated multi-protocol Ethernet interface allows communication via the Profinet, Ethernet/IP and Ethercat protocols - the desired protocol can be easily set via parameters.

Specially developed for warehouse logistics:

  • Integrated Ethernet interface
  • Easy to maintain
  • Fully pluggable
  • Extremely compact design
  • Economical plug-and-play solution
