New opportunities for machine builders in the digital age 

Specialist in automation solutions Lenze has launched m850 synchronous servomotors. With it, the company aims to set a new standard in performance and versatility for machine builders in the machinery sector. "Combined with Nupano's new digital services, we can revolutionize the manufacturing industry," states Marc Vissers, Marketing and Communications manager at Lenze EMEA-West.

The manufacturing industry faces several challenges. Margins are under pressure and there is a growing need to use digital services to optimize total cost of ownership and introduce new business models. Lenze is aware of these challenges and is responding with a comprehensive offering, including hardware, software and digital platforms specifically tailored to OEMs.

Synchronous servomotors

For example, the new m850 synchronous servomotors are designed for applications that require medium dynamics and robust drive behavior. These motors are ideal for a variety of industries, think robotics, packaging technology and handling systems. They offer a combination of features that meet the changing needs of modern industries.

Compact and precise

Vissers names several key features and advantages. "The m850 synchronous servomotors have a compact design. They are designed with space saving in mind without compromising performance. They can be seamlessly integrated into a wide range of applications. In addition, the motors are designed to ensure precise and accurate results. They deliver exceptionally smooth running characteristics that meet the stringent requirements of various industries."

Compatibility with servo controllers

"When combined with servo drives such as the i700 and i950 cabinet, the m850 motors provide robust and efficient drive solutions within a torque range of 4.8 to 200 Nm," Vissers continued. "In addition, the Lenze m850 synchronous servomotors are equipped with a range of advanced features, including compatibility with gearmotors (g500, g7x0, g8x0 gearboxes), customizable feedback systems, brakes and Optional Configuration Tool (OCT) capabilities. This enables customized solutions to meet specific industrial automation requirements."

Changing needs of machine builders

"Lenze's commitment to innovation and customer-focused solutions is at the heart of the m850 synchronous servo motors," Vissers said. "We have carefully designed these motors to meet the changing needs of machine builders in the digital age."

Digital services

In addition to the m850 engines, Nupano's digital services can make a difference for the manufacturing industry. "This platform acts as a crucial bridge between the IT and OT worlds. It enables machine builders to create customizable applications (apps) that allow them to stand out in the market and avoid generic, off-the-shelf apps."

Margins

"Margins in machine and plant construction are constantly under pressure, which has created a strong need for innovation and digital transformation. Lenze's Nupano platform enables machine builders to embrace IT developments without the need for specialized software or programming knowledge," Vissers said.

Strategic advantage

European machines, known for their quality, face challenges due to low margins and unique, one-off sales. To thrive, the industry needs new revenue streams and unique differentiators. "Nupano positions machine builders favorably in the global marketplace by enabling them to take advantage of modern technologies without the constraints of programming knowledge."

Combining leads to gains

Vissers concludes, "The combination of m850 synchronous servomotors with Nupano's digital services leads to a significant leap forward in providing comprehensive customized solutions for the modern industrial landscape."
