Partner for intralogistics drive solutions

Intralogistics is a rapidly growing industry full of new ideas and is therefore in a constant process of change. In times of Logistics 4.0, e-commerce and same-day delivery, fast and smooth goods handling is more important than ever.

Efficient and process-optimized order picking is the main aim here. Modern conveying and picking systems such as automated logistics systems with conveyor technology, lifting systems or automated guided vehicles (AGVs) play an essential role in the material flow.

As drive technology specialists, including for the intralogistics sector, Heidrive and Allied Motion work closely with customers to develop and manufacture customized drive solutions that can be optimally integrated into the respective application in a space-saving manner.

Drive units for AGV applications

The focus of the trade fair presentation at this year's LogiMAT is on the new drive solutions consisting of motor and gearbox for automated guided vehicles (AGV).
The AGV gearboxes have been specially developed for use as wheel hub gearboxes in a wide variety of industrial trucks. This type of application fulfills the high requirements, such as a compact design and a direct connection to the application and the wheel to be driven. In order to achieve the best possible connection between the gearbox and servomotor, the AGV gearboxes were integrated into Heidrive's modular servomotor system with the tried-and-tested direct motor attachment. This results in units that are perfectly matched to the requirements of battery-powered vehicles.

Allied Motion can also score points at LogiMAT with drives for driverless transport systems. The KinetiMax High Power Density series is integrated into AGV wheel drives. The brushless and frameless external rotor motors are characterized by a robust housing and fail-safe brakes.

Space-saving and efficient

With Heidrive, direct integration allows both overall length and weight to be saved, which has a positive effect on the portable payload and the dimensions of the entire drive unit. Direct mounting also offers the opportunity to further increase the transmission efficiency and thus the efficiency of the drive unit. The design of the transmission mounting allows very high radial forces, which correspond directly to the payload to be loaded, to be absorbed while at the same time ensuring high rigidity of the overall unit.

Modular motor principle

As the gearboxes, which have already been specially adapted to these areas of application, have been integrated into the existing modular system, this results in a wide range of combinations for the user, utilizing the entire diversity of variations. Heidrive's modular system enables individual drive systems for diverse applications without long development times. Standardized interfaces make it possible to assemble individual drive modules. As a result, it is possible to supply a suitable motor with the required power, the desired gearbox, with or without a brake, a wide variety of encoder systems and integrated or attached electronics in the shortest possible time.

The specially developed motor configurator on the Heidrive homepage allows users to put together their own individual motors online.
