WITTENSTEIN at SPS 2022

In Nuremberg, the WITTENSTEIN group has shown industry-specific drive solutions for packaging machinery, dosing systems, machine tools and automation technology as well as robotics, handling systems and intralogistics. Innovations in our core business of mechatronic drive technology and the future market for digitalized components and solutions have been presented there under the motto STAY AHEAD TOGETHER.

Industry-Specific Drive Solutions

Packaging Machinery

Packaging Machinery

Packaging machines have to meet the most diverse specifications depending on the sector in which they will be used. Productivity, product safety and cleanability are key aspects that are frequently top of the list. Almost every packaging machine requires a customer-specific concept integrating an array of drive requirements. Our portfolio includes made-to-measure solutions for the complete production line – from the primary through the secondary to the tertiary packaging. 

The cyber® dynamic line convinces with excellent dynamics – a crucial advantage in applications where short cycle times are the norm. With its stainless steel design, it is also ideal whenever high hygienic requirements apply. Our SP+ planetary gearboxes combine very low heat development with a service life of around 30,000 hours. The NP series, which we offer with a large number of ratios and output shapes, is recommended for the mid-range. Our HDP+ planetary gearboxes in hygienic design meet even the strictest hygiene standards. Our highly dynamic, high-torque premo® servo actuators have advantages if space is limited.

Machine Tools

Machine Tools

When it comes to machine tools, the requirements for flexibility, repeatability and speed are increasing all the time. Our products are characterized by high precision, excellent performance and power density and exemplary reliability. Reduced manufacturing costs and enhanced efficiency are the result. Low-backlash planetary gearboxes, mechanical and mechatronic linear systems, actuators and highly precise servo motors are all an integral part of our portfolio. 

The RP+ 30 is a high performance gearbox with high torsional and tilting rigidity which achieves very high system rigidity over the complete axis length in conjunction with a rack-and-pinion system. Our XPK+ right-angle planetary gearbox impresses with an ultra-compact design, high torque density and extreme torsional rigidity. The frameless servo motors in the cyber® kit line large product family provide maximum torque and flexibility. With their large hollow shafts, they offer a considerable degree of design freedom. The Galaxie® RGM 135 enables superior performance. This revolutionary drive system sets new benchmarks for torque and rigidity.

Dosing & Filling

Dosing & Filling

The emphasis in dosing and filling systems is on high quality requirements, process reliability and repeatability. Expectations regarding machine productivity are likewise constantly increasing. 

Thanks to the brushless servo motors in our cyber® dynamic line, pumps can now be driven such that even the tiniest quantities in the microliter range can be dispensed with precision. The cyber® simco® drive makes it possible to individually adjust the filling quantities, minimize the quantity tolerances and optimize the filling results in a reproducible manner. The cyber® dynamic line provides solutions for dosing and filling applications both in industrial environments and in wet areas with the Hygienic Design variant. Our compact TP+ planetary gearboxes with output flange convince with high positioning accuracy in highly dynamic cyclic operation. The planetary gearboxes in our CP series, combining high flexibility with unbeatable value for money, are recommended for facility sections with average demands in terms of positioning accuracy.

Automation/Assembly/Robotics

Handling/Assembly/Robotics

The degree of automation is increasing – and with it the range of applications. Our portfolio is consequently designed to meet the most diverse needs. We offer gearbox and actuator solutions as well as small servo drive systems for the rotary axis. Our broad portfolio is suited for use in all manner of environments. We have versions for dry areas as well as for applications where strict hygienic and chemical resistance requirements apply. An array of precise and highly dynamic motors are available whenever high throughput is called for. 

The DP+ planetary gearbox is designed especially for delta robot units. Several different versions exist for use in dry and spray areas. The compact design enables high positioning accuracy, even in extremely dynamic cyclic operation – combined with high levels of torsional and tilting rigidity. The cyber® kit line small features a compact design and a large hollow shaft through which cables and other materials can be fed. Our Galaxie® RG 85 never ceases to impress with its revolutionary gearbox technology and superior characteristics: its zero backlash, high torsional rigidity, maximum compactness and hollow shaft render it ideal for use in rotary tilt tables, for instance.
 

Intralogistics/Handling Systems

Intralogistics/Handling Systems

Modern manufacturing processes need to be as flexible as possible. Regardless of mass production, there is a clear trend towards customized products and the number of individual purchase orders is accordingly on the rise. That means more effort and expense for intra-production material supplies – and perfect timing is paramount. To make sure the material and the finished goods are always in the right place at the right time, there is a demand for efficient intralogistics solutions. 

Automatic guided vehicle (AGV) systems play a key role here: our iTAS® servo drive system is the first completely scalable and modular drive system specially for use in AGVs. It reduces complexity while ensuring maximum power density. The cyber® simco® drive 2 and TAS, our compact motor / gearbox unit, are the core components of iTAS®. The entire system can be scaled for different output ratings without any problem. And if the machine needs to go around the corner, right-angle gearboxes are the answer: an extremely compact, high-performance bevel gear stage and unbeatable efficiency in operation are excellent arguments for our NPK while our CVH worm gearbox minimizes the noise level. 
 

AXENIA VALUE: STAINLESS-STEEL ACTUATORS FOR HYGIENIC APPLICATIONS

AXENIA VALUE: STAINLESS-STEEL ACTUATORS FOR HYGIENIC APPLICATIONS

The single-cable servo actuators in the axenia value series combine precision with a hygienic design and maximum power density. The high performance motor and the planetary gearbox form a durable and resistant unit and are perfectly matched; they are accommodated in a stainless steel housing with IP69K protection – with a space-saving, coupling-free connection. That ensures measurable, robust performance data of the best possible quality.
