Plastic is one of the most diverse and adaptable materials in the world. Numerous industries use it. However, virgin material is becoming increasingly less abundant. A rethink is the order of the day. An increasing number of plastic processors now use recycled material. The recyclate fraction is expected to rise to around 50 percent by 2050.
Sustainability and Circular Economy
Global warming and the measures introduced by politicians to meet global climate targets are giving the issues of sustainability and the circular economy a considerable boost. The processing of recyclate, the design and use of thin-walled products in order to reduce the use of material or, for example, the substitution of heavy metallic materials with plastics in the area of e-mobility are being implemented with ever greater consistency.
Digital tools
for the optimum
Digitalization also plays an important role in the ambitious climate targets. It is a powerful tool for using the potential of the drive technology with optimal manpower and resources efficiently, for example, by using simulation software: With the help of the digital twin, drive components can be designed efficiently and put into service virtually. Another example are the modern communication interfaces for intelligent machine communication in the production cluster, with peripheral devices or, for example, with downstream and upstream value-adding steps.
Efficient drive technology versus rising energy costs
The use of electric drive technology with its high precision and dynamics makes an important contribution to high productivity with very good process reliability. This reduces rejects to a minimum and therefore enables further savings. In addition, energy-efficient drive concepts help to reduce the overall energy requirements. Baumüller offers a very suitable portfolio of solutions for the electrification of the drive axes in plastics machines. This enables the realization of hybrid and fully electric machines.
Installation options for torque motors
Handling systems
Baumüller also offers economical and efficient solutions for your material handling application as well as for the finishing and further processing of plastic parts in such areas as insertion, removal, deburring, assembly or sorting. From motors, converters and control technology to control systems and software solutions for motion functions, Baumüller offers a wide range of handling and automation concepts.
