Intelligently control movement

Drive electronics from Nord Drivesystems are the key to every drive task. With its NordAC frequency converters, the system manufacturer is also proving its solution competence in all areas in which movement must be intelligently controlled. These can be found in numerous applications that also determine everyday situations.

One example is the safe and efficient cutting of food such as bread, meat or cheese. In cutting machines for trade, crafts and industry, the contact pressure of the respective food in the machine must be precisely controlled. This is made possible by a PLC, as is integrated in all NordAC frequency converters. With it, drive-based control functions can be programmed. This ensures consistent cutting quality.

Intelligent control functions solve industry-typical drive tasks

When it comes to bottling liquid food products, speed is important. The high requirements for precise speed control are ideally met by the Nord frequency converters. They thus ensure an optimally balanced production process. In addition, the NordAC PRO switchgear converter, for example, can be integrated via Ethernet. This enables remote maintenance of the system. Components can be checked for errors and recorded data from the frequency converter can be evaluated using online tools. In this way, Nord ensures a high degree of system reliability.

Drive solutions from Nord also come into play when it comes to precise positioning tasks. The company offers its integrated Posicon module for this, which is included in frequency converters such as NordAC Pro. It enables automatic position control for different applications, such as moving theater backdrops for a smooth stage production.

Comprehensive product kit meets industry expertise

Solution provider Nord Drivesystems develops and manufactures application-specific drive systems from a single source. The company uses its industry expertise to do this, with which it supports customers in around 100 industries. The starting point for implementing the solutions is the extensive product kit of gears, motors and electronic drive technology. The components can be put together in a modular and coordinated manner to create tailor-made systems.

The drive technology division is the youngest of Nord Drivesystems, which will celebrate its 60th anniversary next year. Since the early 1980s, the company has been developing and manufacturing the Nord portfolio for electronic drive control at its site in Aurich, northern Germany. This includes frequency converters for control cabinet installation, decentralized frequency converters and motor starters.
