Finding the right drive for a machine is still a major challenge for many machine manufacturers. If the drive is designed too small, this will come back to haunt them when the machine is expanded. If the drive is too large, costs are incurred that could have been avoided. Until now, manufacturers have relied on the knowledge of experts from drive suppliers. The planned machine was analyzed and the right drive was recommended.
Determine drives yourself?
Machineering is repeatedly confronted with this issue by customers. For the simulation software manufacturer, the exchange with customers is always very important. Therefore, machineering’s short-term goal is to offer customers the option of determining forces based on the SImulation and “selecting” drives themselves. Different variants can be run through, optimized and the result determined independently. The machine manufacturer can then approach the manufacturer with a precise idea of the required motor performance and select the right motor independently of expert opinions. With the help of a drive simulation, the machine manufacturer ensures the optimum functionality and operational reliability of the machine without running the risk of oversizing. Possible expansions can also be included in the simulation at an early stage, making expensive retrofitting of a more powerful drive unnecessary.
The advantages of a self-generated drive simulation are obvious
- The dynamics and energy efficiency of the machine are optimally utilized
- The installation space for the drive of a machine is perfectly identified
- The manufacturing costs for the respective machine can be significantly reduced by avoiding oversizing.
- Thanks to self-generated knowledge, companies benefit from manufacturer independence
