In intralogistics and other industries with materials handling processes, the requirements on material flow equipment are becoming more demanding and specific. SEW-EURODRIVE developed the MOVIGEAR drive system to handle these new requirements. This drive system is a mechatronic product that combines the gear unit, motor, frequency inverter and communication system all in one compact housing. Due to its overall efficiency, this drive solution is particularly suited to the energy-efficient operation of horizontal materials handling systems. In this area, in addition to networked transport systems with multiple drives, there are also numerous individual applications with small machines or simple conveyors that require a reliable and energy-efficient drive that can be started up easily on location. For stand-alone applications, SEW-EURODRIVE developed MOVIGEAR binary, the mechatronic drive solution for stand-alone applications. The MOVIGEAR AS-Interface variant facilitates simple and economical connection to the fieldbus using a standard AS-interface. This version of the mechatronic drive system also allows for the use of configurable fixed speeds and ramps.
