At the 2024 edition of the SPS show in Nuremberg, Germany, global industrial automation company Inovance launched its articulated and SCARA industrial robot ranges in Europe. The company also unveiled an environmentally friendly drive and motor: the MV33 AC motor and the MD630 AC drive, which meet Europe's stringent environmental requirements.
Robot portfolio
As one of China's leading industrial automation brands, Inovance has extensive experience in selling its robots into almost every imaginable application, including automotive parts, welding, injection moulding, die casting and lithium battery manufacturing. The company also has extensive experience selling robots to major smartphone and laptop manufacturers. In China, Inovance's articulated robots can carry payloads of up to 300kg. In Europe, models with payloads of up to 20 kg will be launched first, with larger payload models to be released progressively through to 2025.
New motion products
Inovance has also launched a new drive and a new motor, both of which are among the most efficient options on the market. The IE5 rated MV33 AC motor is Inovance's first industrial AC motor in Europe and uses hairpin technology adapted from the automotive sector. Meanwhile, the MD630 AC drive has been designed for European customers and has integrated EtherCAT, PROFINET and EtherNET/IP. It can operate at temperatures up to 60°C and complies with all European directives. It is also easy to use, cost-effective and offers STO SIL 3 safety and flexible programmable logic.
David Bedford Guaus, Inovance’s Barcelona-based Strategic Marketing Manager, says: “China is the workshop of the world, and vast experience at selling industrial robots in China has given us industry expertise that is second to none. In China, our robots are on the production lines of some of the West’s biggest brands, and there is every chance you own a mobile phone that was assembled by an Inovance robot. We really do offer a robot for every application. Also, like many people in Europe, I am worried about climate change, and so I am very proud of our new MV33 motor and MD630 drive, each of which is one of the most energy efficient solutions on the market.”
