Electric drive solutions aim for sustainability

Posted on Saturday 3 June 2023

Bonfiglioli used Logimat to present its solutions for forklifts, warehousing trucks and automated storage.

THE 600F Series features high-efficiency planetary gears and drives with integrated electric motors. The 610 x3E model in particular, designed for machines capable of moving up to 16 tons on the fork, positions the company as a specialist on the market for large electric machines.

As regards warehousing trucks, the EL09 steerable powertrain for pallet trucks, stackers and reach trucks displayed ensures minimal noise and high manoeuvrability in tight spaces, thanks to a multifunction unit for the complete control of acceleration, steering and braking. In terms of production, the company has invested in a highly automated assembly line that guarantees high quality and process repeatability, with a takt time of 4 minutes. These solutions can be fully customised to meet manufacturer requirements. In the same area, BlueRoll completes the range that makes Bonfiglioli a full line supplier for intralogistics vehicles. This new platform of performing wheel-mounted gearmotors for AGVs and AMRs has an ultra-compact and energy-efficient design for a long operating cycle. The modular drive system comes in three configurations – Basic, Advanced and Compact – with a customisable single gearbox load ranging from 360 to 120 kg and a maximum speed of 2m/s.

Finally, Bonfiglioli showcased two solutions complete with gearbox, motor and inverter. The first solution, perfect for post & parcel use and airport baggage handling systems, consists of: a compact right-angle gear unit (A) available in a wide torque range, an IE4 certified synchronous reluctance motor (BSR), which guarantees an ecological and high-performance solution thanks to the absence of magnets, and the DGM MPM decentralised inverter with sensorless vector control operation for optimal dynamics control.

The second solution, designed for roller conveyors, includes the EVOX CP, a helical in-line gearbox with a smooth surface that can be fitted to any machine thanks to its compatibility with market standards, the MXN asynchronous low voltage e-motor (IE3) developed to be modular, reliable, energy-efficient and internationally certified, and a DGM MPM sensorless inverter.
