Digital twin saves development time

By using modern simulation techniques, enormous potential also opens up in the engineering process. To this end, Baumüller expands its classic design and parameterizing software to include numerous new Industry 4.0 functions of the digital twin. The selected drive components can be combined in a model, for example, with the mechanics of the machine, and the drive parameters necessary for real operation can be determined and tested (smart optimization). Through the work in the virtual environment, the time required for the subsequent commissioning can be reduced significantly. The commissioning can be started virtually before the prototype is set up. Baumüller provides a detailed model of its drive components (servo motors and servo drives) for this purpose.
