Today, Lenze continues to combine local engineering expertise with global innovation strength - helping customers design smarter, more efficient, and futureready machinery across a wide variety of industries.

A vision for tomorrow's opportunities

Lenze's technological leadership is underpinned by the people behind the brand.

"Our strength lies in the combination of local expertise and international capability," explains Marc Vissers, Head of Marketing and Communications Europe West. "We are proud to have supported our customers for over 50 years in building intelligent, flexible and futureoriented automation solutions - and we're even more excited about what comes next."

Raising the bar in motion control

Lenze continues to push boundaries with its newest range of motioncontrol and automation technology. Key innovations include the IE5 and IE6 highefficiency motors, the i950 multidrive platform, and the compact m650F motor - designed to deliver high performance with reduced footprint and improved energy efficiency.

A cornerstone of Lenze's latest portfolio is the Lenze Motor Drive System with i650 motec. This nextgeneration system combines robust IE5/IE6 synchronous motors with a decentralised frequency inverter, providing:

- Exceptional energy efficiency
- Integrated Logic PLC and builtin positioning
- Scalable performance for modular machine concepts
- Reduced wiring, simplified installation, and lower hardware variance

Through sensorless feedback, energy recuperation and advanced motor design, the system can reduce motor losses by up to 60%, cutting both energy consumption and component count.

Additional performance benefits include:
- Up to 300% starting torque from standstill
- Automatic return of surplus energy to the grid or the DC network
- No braking resistors required
- Highprecision, sensorless positioning via SLSM algorithms
- Reliable continuous operation with minimal maintenance needs

Smarter engineering with digital tools

To support engineers throughout the design process, Lenze offers the EASY System Designer. This userfriendly, webbased tool gives immediate insight into energy consumption, component selection and system performance - enabling more energyefficient and futureproof machine designs.

"We aim to make it as simple as possible for customers to select and deploy the right technologies," says Vissers. "This frees up valuable time so they can focus on what truly differentiates their machines."

People at the heart of innovation

Lenze recognises that innovation requires both advanced technology and strong engineering talent. The company actively engages with students, graduates and young professionals - offering insights into modern automation strategies and inspiring the next generation of machine builders. By empowering engineers with training, collaboration and realworld applications, Lenze ensures that innovation continues to evolve not just through technology, but through the people who shape it.
