New Lenze inverters and gearmotors at Drives & Controls 2016
Lenze will be at the Drives & Controls show in April 2016, exhibiting major new drive products, demonstrating material handling and robotics, and providing visitors with an opportunity to win valuable prizes. Drives & Controls will be the first time the new Lenze i500 frequency inverters have been shown in the UK, and the company will also announce important extensions to its range of geared motors.
Demonstrations on the stand include easy programming for robotic drives, faster commissioning of conveyors, and optimised drive selection for energy saving. There will be a comfortable discussion area with eight experienced engineers on hand each day. Invited customers and prospective customers will be entered into a prize draw.
The new Lenze i500 frequency inverters are said to bring a new standard to drives in a power range 0.25-45kW. The design concept 'less is more' results in drives that are economic for simple applications but also modular so that higher functionality can be easily added when required. Dimensions are particularly compact, leading to smaller panel sizes - a factor that is enhanced by the vast majority of applications needing no chokes or filters. The i500 is remarkably easy to get up and running - for example, setting just three parameters can get the motor turning - so commissioning times are reduced. Furthermore, the i500 is future-proofed with full international approvals and high efficiency to energy efficiency class IE2.
Also new to the UK is a major extension to the Lenze g500 range of gearmotors. The current aluminium helical, shaft-mounted helical and bevel ranges are all extended with new cast iron models for output torques above 10000Nm. Across the range there is wide flexibility on the specification, with features that used to be special becoming a standard option. For example, motors can be IE1, IE2, IE3, inverter-optimised or with terminal box inverters. To that can be added brakes, blowers, encoders, plus gearbox oil and mounting options. This flexibility reduces costs and cuts delivery times.
Lenze Engineers will be on hand and can also present new motion control and bus communication options, also upgraded selection and drive optimisation software that can deliver smaller sizes with significant energy savings.
