As an expert in drive solutions, NORD offers perfectly tailored drive solutions according to customer requirements. The innovative portfolio of drive technology can be configured for almost any application and includes scalable functions for every drive task.
The decentralized frequency inverters of the NORDAC ON family offer an economical drive solution for a wide range of applications. They are compact, powerful, and feature an integrated Industrial Ethernet interface. They are ideal for connection to the Industrial Internet of Things (IloT).
Intralogistics and conveyor technology require drive solutions that are easy to install and easily accessible during operation and maintenance. NORDAC LINK offers drive control with frequency inverters (up to 7.5 kW) and motor starters (up to 3 kW) for flexible, decentralized installation in the field close to the motor.
The NORDAC FLEX SK 200E can be tailored to all customer applications thanks to its scalable functions. Installation and maintenance of the NORDAC FLEX are quick and easy thanks to its wide range of functions and simple parameter transfer via EEPROM memory.
The NORDAC PRO is a frequency inverter for operating synchronous and asynchronous motors. It is suitable for any drive task. The basic SK 500P version of the inverter already offers a high degree of versatility. The advanced SK 530P version supplements this range and can be functionally expanded with SK CU5 option modules. The SK 550P has an integrated multi-protocol Ethernet interface for efficient connection to Ethernet-based controllers.
The NXD surface finish was developed specifically for aluminum. NORD offers it in two variants:
NXD BASIC® consists of an electrochemically produced base coat supplemented by a layer of paint. The corrosion protection remains effective even if the paint is damaged. This variant is suitable for use in demanding environmental conditions, such as in the following areas:
NXD tupH® is the ideal surface protection for the extreme conditions found in wash-down applications. The NXD tupH finish consists of a base layer, whereby the upper layer of the aluminum body is converted into a corrosion-resistant layer. Combining this with a sealer results in extreme hardness, durability, and corrosion resistance. This offers advantages when used in hygiene-critical areas, for example in:
Saving energy and reducing TCO with IE5+ motors and customer-specific advice from NORD
We offer customer-specific advice to reduce Total Cost of Ownership. This includes all aspects associated with the purchase, operation, potential maintenance and recycling of a drive system. On the one hand, life cycle costs can be optimised through variant reduction and standardisation, and on the other hand, highly-efficient drive solutions such as the IE5+ synchronous motor from NORD reduce energy consumption.
With the NORD ECO service, we also offer the possibility of achieving higher energy efficiency in the application. After measuring the performance data, we analyse and interpret it in terms of consumption, utilisation and TCO. This enables a comparison with other drive systems in order to make the best ecological and economical decision.
With its new, modular IIoT solution NORD DRIVE MONITOR, NORD supports users with condition monitoring for predictive maintenance. NORD DRIVE MONITOR continuously provides dynamically calculated and sensor-recorded operating values – such as phase currents, heat sink temperatures or torques – for further processing. This enables users to keep track of the current status of electronic drive systems in a plant and detect anomalies or wear at an early stage. This makes maintenance measures easier to plan. NORD DRIVE MONITOR reduces failures and downtime, extends the service life of machines and plants, and significantly streamlines production processes and operating costs.
In the course of increasing digitalisation, automation and decentralisation in industry, functional safety is becoming more and more important and is an indispensable aspect of NORD drive systems. Our latest member of the decentralised frequency inverter family - the NORDAC ON - is therefore receiving a comprehensive safety upgrade: In addition to STO and SS1, the safe motion functions SLS, SMS or SSM for safety-related monitoring of the rotary motion will also be integrated in future - for even more safety when operating systems and machines.
The future variant of the NORDAC ON can be integrated into a safety-related application in an existing Industrial Ethernet network via PROFIsafe or FSOE. The desired Industrial Ethernet dialect is simply parameterised during commissioning. Stand-alone use is also possible, for example for a single-axis machine. In this case, the safety-related digital inputs and outputs of the NORDAC ON can also be used to integrate safety-related peripheral components/functions such as E-stop, reset, and door interlocks. When integrated into the safety controller via PROFIsafe or FSOE, the status of the safe digital inputs and outputs can be transferred from the device to the controller and vice versa.
Functional safety with NORDAC ON:
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS uses data-based simulations for the development of its components and drive solutions. The system provider is now leveraging this expertise to help its customers achieve greater efficiency and availability of its drive systems with a digital service during the planning phase: NORD enables virtual commissioning with digital twins of its drives.
In future, individually configured drive systems can be requested as simulation models via the myNORD customer portal. Design engineers can use these to check whether the drive concept is suitable for the plant during the planning phase. Virtual commissioning significantly reduces project time – even for complex systems. Virtual commissioning prevents errors, minimises risks and considerably shortens time-to-market.
