Drive solutions from NORD
Which application can we drive forward for you?
Cutting machines for safe and efficient cutting of food products, conveyor belts for parcels, or metering pumps for freshly filled juices. Wherever movements must be intelligently controlled, NORD’s strengths will be your benefit.
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS develops system solutions for all drive applications. With our high-level industry expertise, we optimally match the components from our comprehensive range of modular products. Our ideally adaptable drive electronics ensure that our gear units and motors are doing exactly what you need.
Find out how NORD masters your drive applications efficiently and reliably.
Continuous mixing of high-viscosity products
Hygiene and care products | Agitators
NORD drive solutions ensure a consistently high product quality even with various formulations. NORDAC <i>PRO</i> frequency inverters in power ranges up to 160 kW control the industrial geared motors. High precision regulation and large overload ranges ensure reliable processes.
Our MAXXDRIVE® XC industrial gear unit provides the necessary power to achieve the required homogeneity even for high-viscosity products such as toothpaste. With torques of 242,000 Nm and higher, they provide speed and continuity and – with their torsionally rigid UNICASE™ housing – permanently withstand the enormous transverse and axial forces acting on the agitator shaft.
Advantages
- Individual drive control for several agitators
- Automatically matching driving profiles, depending on quantity and formulation
- High torque for high-viscosity products
- Durable and operationally reliable design
Programmable PLC for precisely cut bread
Food products | Cutting machines
In cutting machines for food products, our NORDAC <i>PRO</i> control cabinet inverter ensures precise control of the contact pressure of bread, meat or cheese in the machine. This is made possible by the integrated PLC. It allows to freely programme drive-related control functions.
In combination with a UNIVERSAL worm gear motor, the solution achieves a high overload capacity. “Safe Torque Off” ensures functional safety: If the machine hood is open, the motor stops, as does the cutter.
Advantages
- Optimum adaptability
- Simple and intuitive operation for smooth production processes
- Consistent cutting result
Efficient parcel logistics with minimum maintenance efforts
Post & parcel | Parcel logistics
Together, our NORDAC <i>LINK</i> decentralised frequency inverters and our IE5+ bevel geared motors can drive kilometres of conveyors in parcel logistics economically and sustainably. The energy-saving motors have a high efficiency over a wide speed and torque range. They also offer optimum energy consumption performance in partial load and speed ranges. This allows for the implementation of a significant variant reduction.
Furthermore, the solution convinces with very easy maintenance. The decentralised frequency inverters are mounted close to the motor. The connections can be established via simple and adaptable plug connections.
Advantages
- High efficiencies of up to 95% by use of high-efficiency motors with energy efficiency class (IE5)
- Service-friendly due to integrated maintenance switches and local operating options for set-up mode
- Quick installation and low maintenance
Dynamic belt control for fast filling
Food products | Conveyor technology
NORD frequency inverters ideally meet the great demands on precise speed control. This ensures an optimally balanced production process.
The NORDAC <i>PRO</i> can be integrated via Ethernet, allowing for the remote maintenance of the system. Online tools can thus be used to check components for errors and to evaluate any recorded data of the frequency inverter. This way, NORD ensures high system reliability.
Advantages
- Precise drive control for all conveyor applications
- High reliability thanks to remote maintenance via Ethernet
- Compact frequency inverters save space and thus costs for control cabinet design
Automatic grooming on contact
Agriculture | Cow brushes
A brush “operated” by a cow requires an intelligently controlled drive. This is taken over by the NORDAC <i>BASE</i> frequency inverter, whose integrated PLC is used to programme application-specific functions. When in contact with a cow, the brush starts rotating automatically. If there is too much resistance, for example if the tail gets trapped, the brush stops and rotates in the opposite direction. In addition, the direction of rotation changes on each start and at intervals of five minutes. This ensures even wear of the brush elements.
The quiet-running NORDBLOC.1 helical in-line geared motor and the decentralised NORDAC BASE are mounted on the brush so that they do not rotate along with the brush. This eliminates cable breaks.
Advantages
- Programmable, integrated PLC
- Energy-saving function for partial load operation
- Quiet running
Bringing the scenery into position for the big show
Stage technology | Scenery control
With their powerful functions with regard to positioning and safety, drive solutions from NORD ensure trouble-free theatre performances. Our POSICON module – here, in the NORDAC <i>PRO</i> control cabinet inverter – ensures precise positioning control to travel the scenery. With a standard-integrated CANopen interface, integrated brake management, line filter and extensive I/O interfaces, NORD frequency inverters feature optimum equipment for the high drive requirements on theatre drives.
The frequency inverter supports the “Safe stop” function. The system complies with the safety requirements according to SIL 3.
Advantages
- Control through integrated positioning module
- Sensorless current vector control
- Extensive interfaces and functionalities
