Bargteheide – Drives with advanced condition monitoring capabilities that support predictive maintenance have been showcased by NORD DRIVESYSTEMS at this year's Hannover Messe exhibition. NORD employs frequency inverters with an integrated PLC to monitor the complete drive system, evaluate sensor data, and assess the system state by means of intelligent algorithms. An industrial gear unit demonstrates the condition monitoring approach based on sensors and dedicated evaluation technology. Vibration and oil sensors provide crucial live data about the wear and tear. Vibration analysis then enables conclusions about the state of the bearings as well as the gearing, and oil analysis can help determine when the lubricant needs changing.
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS AC vector drives up to 90 kW have been certified by Underwriters Laboratories of Canada. This is in addition to the existing UL certification for the United States and allows for more efficient drive configuration for the North American market, because the additional line filter that was previously necessary for use in Canada is now no longer required. Users gain various benefits: cost savings, faster wiring, reduced space requirements, and simplified configuration. NORD offers a highly versatile range of drive electronics for all applications and industries, featuring a series of cabinet AC vector drives for motor outputs up to 160 kW and two decentralized inverter lines for field installation with models up to 22 kW. The intelligent controllers provide an integrated PLC, scalable functionality, and flexible interface options.
At the NORD DRIVESYSTEMS headquarters, the power, functionality, and intelligence of NORD products are used to the company's own advantage across the factory floor, with geared motors and drive electronics handling various applications. Notably, this includes a recently established surface coating facility, where NORD systems drive overhead conveyors, fans, and hoists.
