Efficiency is an essential ingredient in remaining competitive and maintaining a high level of quality and flexibility as well as a competitive price/performance ratio to keep pace with the global market. The challenges of soaring energy and personnel costs in Germany and the rest of Europe can decide the global competitiveness of a company. The key to success is the efficiency of machinery and plants. From the drives to the software, every aspect of the system must be adapted perfectly to the application and continuously optimized. Baumllers impressive efficiency and commitment in the renewable energy and electric mobility sectors is summarized under the slogan “green in motion“. The focus of development at Baumller is a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) through increased efficiency. Innovations in the electric mobility sector and the use of modern drive and automation technology in the renewable energy sector have helped Baumller to reduce CO2 emissions and curb the greenhouse effect.Efficiency and sustainability End-to-end efficiency for increased competitiveness Photography by S. Hofschlaeger/PIXELIOEfficiency From project planning to engineering and operationMore specifically and beyond energy efficiency this is about cost efficiency, minimal engineering costs, low maintenance, durability, machine availability and flexibility of machinery and plants.Baumller assists customers from the initial planning stage onwards. We use drive design software to plan customized and universal automation solutions together with mechanical engineers. Our comprehensive product portfolio offers the perfect solution for every application. The portfolio includes all the components required for efficient drive systems, from powerful low-maintenance direct drives and a finely graded range of servo motors in different sizes and performance categories to servo converters and integrated safety technology. After the system is commissioned, Baumller offers a comprehensive range of services (maintenance and repair) to guarantee maximum machine availability. Extensive retrofit measures enhance the performance of machinery and plants in the long term and consolidate or increase productivity. Efficiency modulesDrive design - Efficient drive dimensioningTo ensure optimum energy usage, motors have to be precisely sized and operated at the ideal power/space ratio. This avoids the problem of surplus energy and reduces the size of the required reserves to a minimum. In order to make this optimization/selectionprocess as easy as possible for engineers, Baumller has developed sizemaXX, a software program for drive dimensioning.MotorsDirect drives are characterized by increased efficiency as there is no need for gears or belts to be interconnected for transmission purposes. As synchronous motors, they are able to combine high torques with low speeds. The significantly reduced running noise renders expensive measures for noise suppression obsolete. Their compact design enables the size of the machinery/footprint to be reduced. Service and maintenance are virtually unnecessary. In order to help its customers make the most energy-efficient selection when purchasing drives, Baumller offers various series for all manner of applications and motor types with precise output gradations.ConvertersFor more than 30 years, Baumller has been developing controllers which, rather than converting energy into heat when the brakes are applied, feed it back into the system. Instead of braking resistors, Baumller insists on using regenerative systems. For this purpose, Baumller uses its b maXX servo controllers, which are integrated in the DC link. The energy generated is fed back into the DC link so all the controllers have to do is compensate the prevailing energy losses, which are relatively insignificant. The peak load and rated load devices supplement the proven bmaXX series and are available in five frame sizes. Whether you need maximum output for continuous operation or only for short durations, the b maXX series offers an energy-efficient customized drive solution for every application. SoftwareAn ever-increasing amount of software is used in modern plants due to their flexible and modular design. This increases the complexity of the overall machinery and prevents efficient operation. To keep the programming work of the user to a minimum and en
