Winder Drive Dimensioning Made Easy With Lenze Drive Solution Designer 4.0
Updated version of drive dimensioning software boasts user enhancements and a specific motion designer for precision dimensioning and drive optimization in winding applications
UXBRIDGE , MA - APRIL 24, 2013 - Leading global manufacturer of electrical and mechanical drives, motion control and automation technology, Lenze Americas has launched an updated version of its Drive Solution Designer (DSD) drive dimensioning tool. Version 4.0 brings DSD users expanded application functionality and enhanced drive dimensioning for winding-unwinding motion control applications.
"DSD 4.0 makes drive dimensioning simpler and even more convenient," states Craig Dahlquist, automation product leader, Lenze. "In addition to numerous user enhancements, the precision drive dimensioning designer for winders offers our customers a powerful new engineering tool."
Lenze DSD 4.0 now comes standard with dimensioning tools for optimizing drives in typical center winding and unwinding machines. The winding-specific motion designer takes into account special features unique to the motion control of winders, with expert support in selecting winding technologies, a diameter-based representation of the load variables, and examination of the winding process in the torque-speed diagram of the motor-inverter combination. The field-tested energy performance certificate, available on earlier DSD versions, completes the winder solution for both single- and multi-axis systems.
Other new features of the Windows-8-compatible DSD 4.0 release include a series of solutions designed for mains voltages in U.S. markets. A new application tuner provides DSD 4.0 users greater detail in precision drive dimensioning and enables varying types of process data to be leveraged in drive optimization. This extended functionality makes it possible to integrate more potential operating states and material recipes into the dimensioning process. Additionally, version 4.0 includes enhancements to usability and improved support for generating CAD data.
"DSD 4.0 incorporates a wealth of process data, motion and speed profiles, and in-depth knowledge about drive physics, variants and energy efficiency applications-automatically calculated and readily available at the user's fingertips-to create a complete, optimized drive structure for all of a machine's motion control requirements," adds Dahlquist.

Schmalz Technology Development - The Right Gripper for Every Task
In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.
