Be it a bathtub lift, a luxury TV or a production machine - we test the extent to which the drive technology harmonizes with the requirements of the application at the customer's site for a snapshot in a mobile measurement or for endurance tests on our premises. These can be series devices or prototypes .
We document which forces are at work and when, for example, an unintentional premature shutdown occurs. Our engineers help to determine how motion sequences and drive technology can be optimally coordinated.
Examples of improved kinematics
- To prevent the gear wheels from being destroyed by large kinetic masses, the motor should not be run on block. This can be achieved via ramp control.
- Depending on the application, control via pulse width modulation (PWM) may be an option.
- Sometimes it also helps to modify the movement sequences of the device a little. For example, a stroke path can be shortened a little or a weight-increasing overhang to the movement axis can be reduced. These are all loads that require a more powerful motor, which could be larger, louder or even more expensive.
- As part of an overall solution, we also consider the installation space, for example when special sheet metal brackets facilitate the installation, motion sequence and maintainability of a drive system.
