How can a simple geared motor be integrated into Industry 4.0 networks in the future?<\/p>\n<p>Bauer Gear Motor, part of Altra Industrial Motion Corp, has extended its product portfolio with the development of TorqueControl4.0, so that a standard mains-driven geared motor can be integrated into the standardised, non-fieldbus-dependent, Industry 4.0 communication technology.<\/p>\n<p>The technology was developed by Bauer engineers, after they were tasked with finding an alternative to mechanical overload clutches.<\/p>\n<p>Development engineer Simon Seybold explains: \u201cA long-standing Bauer customer asked us to investigate a more efficient solution for torque monitoring and control for conveyor systems that could offer improved performance during operations and reduced reaction times in the event of torque overload. We evaluated alternative mechanical solutions, but quickly realised that an electronic solution was the best way to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>TorqueControl 4.0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Developed under the slogan \u2018Geared Motors Go Online\u2019, a mains-powered geared motor can be fitted with the integrated electronic TorqueControl4.0 and connected via IO-Link into the Industry 4.0 network.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10122\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10122\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Altra511_Bauer_Industry_4_0_pic2_PR5369_55065.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Altra511_Bauer_Industry_4_0_pic2_PR5369_55065-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Altra511_Bauer_Industry_4_0_pic2_PR5369_55065-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Altra511_Bauer_Industry_4_0_pic2_PR5369_55065-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Altra511_Bauer_Industry_4_0_pic2_PR5369_55065-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Altra511_Bauer_Industry_4_0_pic2_PR5369_55065-800x534.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10122\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">By adopting an intelligent electronic control, it\u2019s possible for the operator to set a flexible, yet precise overload torque and constantly monitor performance. Image: Bauer Gear Motor GmbH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The innovation from Bauer also offers the functionality of a soft start and an overload clutch as well as the ability to capture operational data and share it with the control network. It can be used to protect the powertrain from overloading and can optimise the magnetisation of the motor independently from the load, significantly increasing the efficiency of the motor under partial load conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The integrated electronics are housed in the terminal box of the motor to provide a compact solution in a protected environment.<\/p>\n<p>TorqueControl4.0 allows monitoring of the operational status and independent shutdown of the torque while providing status data such as power, voltage or active power. Parameters can be set to shut down the drive in the event of an overload, preventing any damage to the drivetrain. At the same time, TorqueControl4.0 can limit the starting current in the same way as a conventional soft start.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the continuous load-point monitoring enables TorqueControl4.0 to alter the motor\u2019s magnetisation by adjusting the voltage. This increases the motor\u2019s efficiency under partial-load conditions by up to 25%.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it possible for all mains-driven Bauer geared motors to be integrated into an Industry 4.0 network cost-effectively without the need for a frequency inverter.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, the system identifies and communicates the load data from the geared motor in real-time and communicates this information to a central control unit. This data can then be processed centrally. The operating mode can be switched on and off electronically over the network. This means that efficiency can be improved throughout the production line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits in action<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mechanical torque limiter designs, such as overload clutches, rely on a drive to fail at a given torque load in order to protect the drivetrain. This is an effective, if simple, means of protection for applications such as conveyors, where a foreign object could obstruct the drivetrain and generate unexpected loads. In the example mentioned previously, the overload clutch is fitted with a sensor, which is used to detect when the clutch is responding to an overload so that operators can be notified.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10123\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10123\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Altra511_Bauer_Industry_4_0_pic3_PR5369_55135.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10123\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Altra511_Bauer_Industry_4_0_pic3_PR5369_55135-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Altra511_Bauer_Industry_4_0_pic3_PR5369_55135-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Altra511_Bauer_Industry_4_0_pic3_PR5369_55135-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Altra511_Bauer_Industry_4_0_pic3_PR5369_55135-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Altra511_Bauer_Industry_4_0_pic3_PR5369_55135-800x534.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10123\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TorqueControl 4.0 is suited to operations involving material handling, intralogistics or processes that start under load and require excellent energy efficiency and gentle power delivery. Image: Bauer Gear Motor GmbH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While the solution was effective and met its primary target of protecting the conveyor, the customer identified a number of drawbacks that it wanted to overcome. Firstly, the mechanical clutch was a source of energy loss, so removing it from the drive train would improve the energy efficiency of the system.<\/p>\n<p>Next, in the event of an overload, the mechanical clutch needs to be partly disassembled and then reengaged, which prolongs any downtime encountered by the operator.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the mechanical system is self-contained and only allows for binary control ie, engaged or disengaged.<\/p>\n<p>By adopting an intelligent electronic control, it\u2019s possible for the operator to set a flexible, yet precise overload torque and constantly monitor performance. This makes it possible for preventative maintenance measures to take place should irregularities occur.<\/p>\n<p>Further, should an overload be detected, the central controller can communicate the information to the production line and put all equipment on hold while the overload situation is resolved. Then, once the issue has been addressed, it is a simple process to restart the system over the network.<\/p>\n<p>Being integrated in the motor terminal box, TorqueControl4.0 is ingress protected up to IP65 and has been designed for a wide range of applications with power requirements up to 3 kW. It is particularly suited to operations involving material handling, intralogistics or processes that start under load and require excellent energy efficiency and gentle power delivery. With continuous data gathering it is the perfect fit for the Smart Factory of the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Excellence in innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the 2nd July, 2018, <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/gear-motors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bauer Gear Motor<\/a><\/span> joined leading German innovators when it was recognised as a leader in the implementation of Industry 4.0 by the Allianz Industrie 4.0 Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg \u2013 a networking initiative aiming to join key innovators and support businesses who are pursuing developments in Industry 4.0.
