Automation – Reproductive Dynamics
Drive technology plays a central role in all automation systems in order to control movements precisely, reliably and in a reproducible manner. Switchable clutches and brakes are particularly important components, as they enable targeted interventions in the flow of force - for example to start, stop or synchronize movements.
Mönninghoff clutches and brakes often support positioning tasks, for example in pick-and-place systems or automatic assembly machines, in which they stop quickly and with repeat accuracy. Accelerating and braking without deceleration increases productivity.
Control over the drive train is also essential for certain safety functions. Our holding brakes prevent damage and accidents with their emergency stop function.
The energy efficiency of our products, such as the bistable M1, plays a particularly important role here, as the currentless holding function can save a lot of energy.
Our strengths in the field of automation
- Precision and repeat accuracy thanks to low backlash and fast response behavior
- Dynamics and fast switching operations in the ms range for high cycle rates
- Compactness without loss of performance
- Long service life and low maintenance suitable for continuous operation
- Controllability and integration
- High level of safety and fail-safe functions
Switchable clutches and brakes enable precise and flexible control of movements, meet high requirements in terms of dynamics, safety and integration - and make a significant contribution to the efficiency of automated processes.
