Highly synchronized drive solutions for your servo screw press

SpindelpresseImage: synchropress GmbH

Variable pressing forces and flexible stroke heights rank among the most important advantages of the screw press. The Baumüller drive solution provides highly synchronized motor control thanks to the highly dynamic servo motors, high-performance direct drives and compact inverters. The key to precision and repeatability in your application.

Space-saving:
The motors can be mounted axially in the press table, in line with the spindle mounts. The integrated design renders the press more compact.

Drive solutions for threaded spindles – scalable technology from Baumüller

Depending on the required power, our system solution for threaded spindles includes the complete main drive system with DSD2 servo motors or DST2 high-torque motors, b maXX servo drives and b maxx grid inverters, including control cabinet construction. The drive unit is configured individually depending on the required power. The drive system is linked to a higher-level control system via a predefined interface and is vendor-neutral.

DSD2 motors are suitable for highly dynamic applications with the highest acceleration capacity requirements and the best start-stop qualities. This motor series covers a nominal speed range from 1,000 to 6,000 min-1. The motors can be controlled very precisely in terms of speed and position, rendering them ideal for high-precision threaded spindles.

Our DST2-series high-torque motors achieve very high maximum torques to provide the necessary power for the forming process. The motors can be perfectly adapted to the press’s requirements thanks to different shaft and flange options. We also enable the press power to be divided between multiple motors connected via a master-slave coupling.

With the b maXX 5000 converter family, Baumüller offers suitable servo drives for high power classes. The servo drives impress with their compact installation dimensions, and offer a broad and scalable selection of optional safety functions. The devices also have the option of energy recovery. The connected system load can be reduced by intelligent energy management and the use of capacitors as energy stores, which in turn saves energy and costs.

Due to the modular use of components, this drive system kit enables us to realize a very wide range of presses with minimum variance in the drive system. This greatly simplifies the ordering process as well as the customer’s inventory and spare parts management.

Drive design with ProSimulation

ProSimulation

The digital twin offers many advantages, especially during the engineering phase: It shortens development time, allowing the machine to be brought to market quickly and reliably.

ProSimulation offers numerous advantages, particularly for complex applications such as screw presses: It allows you to select an efficient and resource-saving drive package. For example, the software can be used to model the entire drive topology. This consists of all drive components in conjunction with dynamic motion and force profiles. The simulation creates transparency in the power and energy profiles and describes charging and discharging processes in detail.
