Optimised drive boosts AGV battery life
October 1st 2009 JBT Corporation, a
specialist in
automating
warehouses in the
States, recently
approached Lenze
for dc geared motors
to lift loads of up to
two pallets. The
Lenze solution was a
customised geared
motor resulting in
lower current
demands and extended battery life
for the AGV – which is crucial in
24/7 operations.
By rightsizing the
lifting drive, Lenze
was able to bring
down its size and
weight - making it
more efficient as well
as extending battery
life. This rightsizing
approach reduced the
motor power from
3kW to 850W by the
use of special motor
windings and an
efficient gearbox. More articles from Lenze Ltd: |
