Electrical alternative

Electromechanics is the best alternative to hydraulics & pneumatics! 

Electromechanics stand for high sustainability and are becoming increasingly important. Their high energy efficiency and clean, leak-free operation are fact-based advantages compared to hydraulic and pneumatic solutions.

We know the right approach for a successful technology transition to electromechanical solutions.

Efficient and environmentally friendly

  • Up to 60% less energy consumption than hydraulics and pneumatics
  • High efficiency of 80% and more
  • No compression, start-up, overrun or pressure losses (pipe friction)
  • No storage of oil/air pressure necessary
  • No or low energy requirement at standstill
  • Storage and reuse of braking energy
  • No oversizing of the drives (3 times the peak force for 3s)
  • No heating or cooling of oil necessary
  • Clean, no leakage oil losses, contamination or waste oil disposal

Significant increase in productivity and flexibility

  • Shorter process times thanks to high cycle rates
  • High speed with precise control
  • Optimized motion sequences thanks to high precision and controllability of movements
  • Complex movement profiles possible
  • Minimal wastage, e.g. during dosing
  • Electrical synchronization and therefore simultaneous movement of several axes
  • No temperature dependency of the hydraulic oils
  • Massively faster changeover times without mechanical adjustments (software!)
  • Minimal downtimes for format/product changes

Increased process reliability and production quality

  • High precision even with simultaneously moving axes
  • High reproducibility, minimal variation in production, consistently high quality
  • High rigidity, no movement fluctuations with changing loads

Service-friendly: reduction in operating and maintenance costs

  • Minimal downtimes, extremely low maintenance, low maintenance costs
  • Leak-free and clean operation, no oil and filter changes etc.
  • Elimination of the high filtration requirements

 

 

High working comfort and safety

  • Noise reduction of up to 30% (minus 2-5 dB)
  • No leakage or bursting pipes, no (hot) oil or slippery floors
  • High machine safety: integrated safety functions and monitoring

Low installation effort and space requirement

  • Easier and faster installation with hybrid cable
  • No need to lay rigid hoses or pipes
  • No filters, valves, seals and trays, agregate, heat exchangers
  • No sealing problems
