Complete machine simulation with Baumüller

With machineering GmbH & Co. KG, Baumüller combines drive simulation with process simulation and thus allows its customers to make use of the full bandwidth of the digital twin.

The iPhysics simulation software of machineering GmbH & Co. KG can simulate complex systems and robots quickly and easily. The virtual commissioning of the systems enables installation, test and optimization cost savings of up to 75%. “Even where machines have complex motion control, we work very successfully with simulations,“ explains Markus Jaksch, Head of Technical Sales at Baumüller. “By integrating our servo drives in the machineering database, our customers can now create a digital twin of the complete system, including all mechanical and mechatronic elements.” The main advantages of the simulation lie in the increase in efficiency achieved. The new simulation models enable the behavior of machines with Baumüller drive technology to be mapped in the iPhysics simulation environment, and thus identify faults early and reveal potential for optimization. This leads to a faster and more efficient development and commissioning process for machines.

The initial cooperation with machineering was for the implementation of a customer filling plant project. During the course of this project, the models of the Baumüller b maXX 5000 servo drives were prepared for integration in the machineering 3D-models, so that they can be integrated and controlled virtually. The models of the Baumüller servo drives will now also be available to all other customers of the Baumüller Group, which enables the simulation of complete machines and systems.
