in electrical costs are significant for a
large manufacturer with hundreds of
multi-kilowatt motors on the production
floor. "
Perhaps even more important is the
ease of maintenance and reduction in
conveyor downtime. Not only are the new
systems faster to service and repair, but
also because of the backup bar and crank
arm mentioned earlier, a drive that fails
during a production shift can quickly be
brought online by switching to the backup
system, allowing technicians to service the
defective unit after hours.
Building Confidence
Dahl notes that this last benefit,
even more so than the system's energy
efficiency, is what gets automotive
maintenance people so excited when
they see the new design. " Talk to anyone
responsible for keeping a plant
running and that's what they gravitate
to, " he said.
Standardization is similarly important,
added Dahl. That's why OCC Systems -
together with their customer - decided
early on to work with NORD in developing
the extended shaft gear drive, which
again, forms the heart of this conveyor
drive unit. " NORD has been a great partner
for many years, and this is a great example
of that. Between its greater efficiency
and modular, easily maintained
construction, I look forward to seeing
more of these units deployed in other
assembly lines. "
It also eliminates all V-belts thanks to an integrated gear motor and brake, has a backup bar and crank arm
that allows two systems - one passive, the other active - to work in tandem. (Image: OCC Systems)
