Material handling and drive technology using the modules for Lenze Smart Motors

Cost savings in horizontal transport

Material handling and drive technology – Lenze Smart Motor

The AS-Interface fieldbus communication has long been established in material handling . Countless companies are benefiting from the easy installation, high flexibility and low costs of ASi; in both the installation of the application and the maintenance work. Bihl+Wiedemann manufactures special modules for controlling Lenze Smart Motors which provide a suitable solution for many different applications.

The decentralized control of the 3-phase motors offers more flexibility compared to conventional systems – both in terms of planning and the subsequent expansion of application structures .

Main features
