Compact drives for chain conveyors

Fredriksons benefits not only from the space-saving design, the different speed levels and the integrated multi-protocol Ethernet interface of the NORD drives, but also from the option for variant reduction – both for decentralised and control cabinet solutions. The ability of NORD drives to withstand temperatures down to -30 °C makes them particularly advantageous for deep-freeze applications.

Fredriksons’ chain conveyors for food packaging use IE3 asynchronous motors from NORD with a NORDBLOC.1 helical bevel gear unit combined with the NORDAC ON frequency inverter. The decentralised frequency inverters provide an economical solution for modern production environments. They cover a power range from 0.37 kW to 3.7kW and are characterised by their full plug-in capability, plug-and-play function, low maintenance and high reliability.

Further features are PLC on board and the integrated Ethernet interface. The PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT protocols can be easily set via parameters. In addition to STO and SS1, the NORDAC ON will soon offer new functional safety features: SLS, SMS and SSM.
