Machine control for material handling applications

Building modules of the mechanical elements of the conveyor - the motor, the gearbox and the motor starter or drive - has become standard in material handling systems. Working with global leading baggage handling and warehouse companies, our distributed drive and protection technologies deliver luggage and material on-time all over the world. Fast and easy implementation, smart communication and easy serviceability help operators around the world keep their systems available.

The unmatched advantages of modular material handling systems with distributed control units also apply in smaller installations. The EasyE4 controller is ideally designed for this task. It can be combined with smart motor starters like the PKE and drives like the PowerXL DG1 that provide efficient motor control and process data to reduce system downtime. Supported by the our application engineering team and global channel network, the creation of customized systems for your application becomes an easy exercise.

Conveying bulk material is a variable task. Transported loads can vary enormously depending on the environment. In open space installations, even weather conditions like heavy rain or frost can influence the system load. The PKE motor starter and PowerXL drives with integrated sensing enable system integrators to build bulk conveying systems optimized for performance. Our SmartWire-DT intelligent wiring system not only provides valuable data for automated process control, it also reduces installation costs and enables system integrators to deliver their projects with the lowest total cost of ownership.
