<\/a>\u201cWe will be demonstrating our girth gear capability, with a 3,5 metre diameter static model specially imported for the show,\u201d says Jonathan McKey, national sales and marketing manager at SEW-EURODRIVE South Africa. \u201cVisitors can experience how the model reflects both the mill and kiln application.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Four of these girth gears have already been supplied to a large mining operation in Limpopo province. At the SEW-EURODRIVE South Africa stand will also be the company\u2019s purpose-built gearbox solution for air-cooled condensers (ACCs) used for driving fans in power stations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur SEW MACCs will be locally assembled, which differentiates us from competitors,\u201d he says. \u201cNo-one else stocks these components, and we will be able to slash the lead times of other OEMs by a multitude of weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
McKey says the new Aeroton production facility could deliver at a rate of three units a week. High efficiency IE3 SEW electric motors will also be on show, as examples of the extensive range from 0,75 to 335 kW rating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAn important benefit of our electric motors is that SEW-EURODRIVE designs and supplies the add-ons, such as encoders and braking systems,\u201d he says. \u201cCustomers can source add-on accessories from us, which ensures them of world class quality and accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He notes that customers will also appreciate the different ways that SEW-EURODRIVE strives to reduce total cost of ownership on its motors. For instance, in contrast to competitors, the motor casing design features a detachable foot. If this is broken, it can be easily replaced, rather than forfeiting the whole casing or motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The MOVIGEAR\u00ae mechatronic drive system will also be there, comprising motor, gearbox and VSD. This is designed for flexible use across various communication infrastructures, making it ideal for decentralised applications in the field. MOVIGEAR\u00ae is especially tailored for efficient use in the general materials handling sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Customers will be exposed to SEW\u2019s new electronic drive \u2013 the MOVI-C\u00ae \u2013 which will soon be one of the key product lines to be locally assembled. This suite of modular products will allow SEW-EURODRIVE to offer better-than-ever capabilities to control the speed, acceleration, position and torque of multiple motor-driven axes of control systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnother exciting innovation is our automated guided vehicle systems (AGVs), which we will also want to exhibit at Electra Mining Africa,\u201d says McKey. \u201cThese are valuable assets in any automated process, and they are typically used for logistics and in the automotive industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He says they can be programmed by a SEW mechatronics engineer to perform many different tasks of a frequent and repetitive nature. These AGVs will be able to be locally assembled, supplied and supported from the new Aeroton factory, he explains. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With SEW-EURODRIVE\u2019s constant technological innovation, there will be exciting solutions to witness at Electra Mining Africa this year.
