Manufacturing smaller batch sizes needs simpler and more efficient production line retooling and adjustment – Baumer FlexiDrive takes this challenge into account. For example, a different target can be defined during an active travel job or the user can switch from position to speed mode saving cycle time.
Dynamic PDO mapping of position, speed and current, CANopen versions offer expanded adjustment and diagnostic options for optimising travel profiles. Flexidrive compact drives consist of a motor, a drive, an absolute multiturn position measurement combined with integrated power electronics for control and bus communication. The optimised positioning and speed controllers relieve the PLC, increase overall equipment performance and save on costs. Additionally, the amount of cabling required is also reduced. The absolute position measurement eliminates end referencing requirements, increasing equipment availability after switch-on. In critical situations, for example during an overrun after an emergency stop, position measurement is active and the application remains under control.
The FlexiDrive modular system comprises a variety of motors with outputs ranging from 6 to 480 W flexibly combined with planetary, spur, angular and hollow shaft gears. There is also an option for brakes to be included.
