In smaller job shops where each job is different, automation solutions require a higher degree of flexibility. And as space is often limited, any automation solution needs a compact footprint. Makino has specifically developed the DA300 automation package for smaller job shops. Despite its compact dimensions, the DA300 automation package displays the highest degree of autonomy on the market at the highest performance. Why this automation package stands out The DA300 has established a (…)

The European standards DIN EN 60034-30-1: 2014-12 (mains operation) and DIN VDE 0530-30-2: 2019-02 (frequency inverter operation) define the four efficiency classes for electric motors from IE1 to IE4+. Based on the underlying criteria, even more efficient drives are known as IE5 within industry. The IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motorfrom NORD DRIVESYSTEMS significantly exceeds the highest efficiency class IE5. The especially compact and energy-efficient motor offers a constant high (…)
