Decades of experience
For decades Baumuller has planned,
developed, produced, and implemented
drive systems and drive solutions
in cooperation with customers. The
reliability, ruggedness, and high
level of availability of the drive
systems have made Baumuller a partner
to machine builders, not only in
the plastic industry.
Apart from the proven DC drives
for extrusion, Baumuller, as a leader
of this industry, has made three-phase
AC technology - synchronous and
asynchronous - available for drives
on extruders.

Extrusion
How to slash running costs
The new three-phase AC drives for
extrusion are a sensible investment
in the future. The Baumuller three-phase
AC system:
- is maintenance-free
- improves the total efficiency
of the drive systems
- has virtually no reactive-power
demand
High applications for intensive maintenance
and high power consumption is not
necessary.

Baumuller motors – high power density
with three-phase AC technology
The three-phase AC motors are internally
ventilated and have IP23 protection. That
means there is an extremely high power density
available for the drive. Consequently a
DC motor can easily be replaced by a three-phase
AC motor, retaining shaft height and unit
volume. Higher degrees of protection can
be implemented depending on the requirements.
Extruder drives from Baumuller - and the
benefit is yours
Baumuller converters:
- compact
- high power density
- easy to put into operation due to graphic
user interface
- brief power failures are jumpered
- all standard field bus systems are available
Baumuller drive systems –three-phase AC
technology for extrusion
- constant torque from zero speed to rated
speed
- high torque even at low speeds over
long periods
- maintenance-free – no brushes or collectors
- improved efficiency - 3-6% compared
with DC drive
- practically no reactive-power demand
- high degree of protection (IP54) possible
without much effort
- very high speed precision
- excellent current/torque ratio
- synchronous technology offers even better
efficiency.

Injection molding
As a drive system manufacturer Baumuller
has been pioneering in the field of injection
molding machines for plastics as well.
With injection molding machines the hydraulic
system is partially or entirely re-placed
by electric drive systems. New standards
in the construction of plastics processing
machines are now made possible by Baumuller
due to innovative drive technology which
takes into account and integrates the special
require-ments for this type of machine.
Baumuller always succeeded in developing
drives with a very high power density and
a very large dynamic range. In addition,
the drive solutions provided by Baumuller
adapt to the requirements of the machine’s
mechanical system, so it is the machine
that dictates motor design.
With electric drives for the screw
- higher precision is achieved in
production
- the parts made are easier to reproduce
- machine output is increased so
its productivity is higher
- machine energy consumption is
considerably reduced
|
|
With fully electronic injection molding
machines
- machine energy consumption is
reduced further still
- the machine’s intrinsic noise
is reduced
- there is no longer any hydraulic
fluid on the machine

The Baumuller components for injection
molding to perfection
Watercooled motors:
- high power density
- high degree of protection: IP
65
- very compact
- low noise because there is
no need for a fan unit
- place of installation irrespective
of the
direct ambient conditions
- simple, local heat dissipation
- very dynamic
- practically maintenance-free
- rugged
- large ranges of speed adjustment
- synchronous and asynchronous technology
|
Watercooled converters:
- compact design to save space
in the control cabinet
- no additional air-conditioning
units required
- high power density
- easy to put into operation due
to
graphic user interface
- brief power failures are jumpered
- all standard field bus systems
are available

Blow molding
|
The blow molding process is extremely
demanding for the plastic processing
machines, and especially for the drive
system. Complex molds have to be made
with absolute repeatability and precision
to within tenths of a millimeter.
With Baumuller drive systems you can
realize a very wide range of machine
concepts – profitably and in line
with state of the art automation.
With the fully electric blow molding
machine using Baumuller drive systems
you work more precisely and more profitably
than with fully hydraulic machines.
Less waste, less noise, and less energy
consumption – those are the advantages
of the electric drive systems for
blow molding machines.

Handling
Automation solutions and handling systems
for plastic production
|
Apart from the drive systems for
extrusion, in-jection molding, and
blow molding, Baumuller solves all
the problems associated with drives
in material handling, post-processing,
and down-stream processing.
For the entire plastic processing
industry Baumuller offers planning
and design, handling and automation
systems, from the motor, converter,
and control engineering, to control
systems and software solutions for
motion functions. Conse-quently, the
drive solutions for film extrusion,
film winding, and film printing, for
instance, are all from a single source.
|
Decentralized intelligence
 |
With the automation concept b maXX
you can modularize your machine systematically.
b maXX puts intelligence into your
drive. As a result you achieve control
functionality in the converter and
time-critical functions which are
processed for converters on shaft
generators.
Using b maXX, complex technological
drive functions in the machine, e.g.
winder, dancer roll, and register
control, or electronic cam, can be
handled in a user-friendly manner.
