<\/a>The exhibit will include the full MOVI-C\u00ae range together with a robotic arm, illustrating the depth of automation technology available to machine builders, OEMs and end users seeking increasingly intelligent and energy-efficient production solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Jonathan McKey, National Sales and Marketing Manager at SEW-EURODRIVE South Africa, achieving meaningful energy savings requires more than simply selecting an energy-efficient motor or drive.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>\u201cEnergy efficiency needs to be considered across the complete machine or production line,\u201d McKey says. \u201cOur approach is to work closely with customers to understand the application, the operating cycle and where energy is being consumed. From there, we can engineer an integrated drive and automation solution that supports both optimum performance and reduced energy usage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MOVI-C\u00ae provides a single modular automation platform incorporating drive technology, motion control, control technology, software and communication capabilities. This allows individual machine functions to be coordinated within an integrated architecture, supporting precise control of motors and movement throughout processing and packaging applications.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>For packaging operations in particular, accurate speed, positioning and synchronisation are fundamental to achieving high throughput while avoiding unnecessary mechanical and energy losses. Intelligent drive control allows equipment to operate according to actual process demand rather than continuously running at maximum output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ability to coordinate multiple axes is equally important in applications such as conveying, handling, positioning, sorting, palletising and robotic systems, where accurate movement and repeatability can directly influence productivity and product quality.<\/p>\n\n\n
