MOVIFIT®
Overview
The new MOVIFIT® system combines the established advantages of SEW-EURODRIVE decentralized installation technology with modern, application-oriented drive and communication functions.
Demands on Materials Handling Technology
For years now, the components from SEW-EURODRIVE’s decentralized drive system have been proving how compact and modular a decentralized system structure can be in a number of different applications. Nevertheless, drive engineering requirements are becoming increasingly demanding in this field as well. The following are some of the demands placed on materials handling technology, for example:
- Reduce investment costs for the systems: Equipment costs, installation times, startup work
- Reduce planning times by reusing standard conveyor components
- Reduce operating costs with quick maintenance and optimum diagnostic options
- Use new, ETHERNET-based communication technology
- Decentralized installation with central data storage as an option
- Simple drive operation despite the increasing complexity of application functions
- Industry-specific unit designs
SEW-EURODRIVE Solution
SEW-EURODRIVE accepted the challenge to develop a new decentralization concept: The new MOVIFIT® system. MOVIFIT® meets today's expectations of plant manufacturers and operators:
- New unit design with modern connection technology for sophisticated conveyor technology
- Supports new strategies for optimized system topologies
- New power sections with frequency inverters and motor control switches
- High level of integration
- Modern, decentralized communication technology (e.g. ETHERNET)
- Decentralized installation with central data storage
- Food-grade unit designs
- Ready-to-use, flexible conveyor functions from SEW-EURODRIVE
- Straightforward project planning, quick maintenance and optimized diagnostics with efficient engineering tools
- Reduced investment and operating expenses. MOVIFIT® is the result of SEW-EURODRIVE’s many years of experience in decentralized drive engineering. It is suitable for materials handling applications in demanding fields, such as the automotive and food and beverage industries.
