IDEC adds Safety Wheel Drive to ez-Wheel family to streamline AMR, AGV design

IDEC Corp. just recently increased its ez-Wheel item household with the brand-new SWD Security Wheel Drive. The SWD is offered in a light/medium SWD 125 design or a sturdy SWD 150 design, both with a load-supporting actors iron structure.

The Osaka, Japan-based business claimed boosting need for automated assisted lorries (AGVs) and independent mobile robotics (AMRs) has actually developed a requirement for the SWD, which offers a structured method for developers to include effective, dependable, and secure activity control right into their devices and systems.

Conventional drive systems call for developers to certify, incorporate, and check a mix of wheels, transmissions, electric motors, encoders, controllers, and power systems. Exterior batteries and circuitry can boost installment expenses.

IDEC claimed its SWD conquers these needs with alternatives integrating all these components right into a solitary, exceptionally portable, and maintenance-free system, decreasing element matter by as much as 50%. It declared that there is no comparable self-supporting system in offered in the united state

IDEC makes SWD for durable efficiency

The brand-new drive includes a durable shockproof real estate, ranked IP66 to safeguard its interior electronic devices, making certain flexibility for a vast array of applications. Additionally, its modular design offers the flexibility to range as required, decreasing design time and streamlining the accreditation procedure, claimed IDEC.

With the SWD, developers can concentrate their initiatives on higher-level control and human-machine user interface (HMI) needs, the business claimed.

IDEC claimed it has actually given commercial automation and control items because 1945. Treatment a wide variety of market requirements, these items consist of programmable reasoning controllers (PLCs), HMIs, safety and security items, and various other commercial automation parts.

In 2023, IDEC obtained 80% of the shares of ez-Wheel SAS, a French programmer of self-propelled wheels for AGVs, AMRs, mobile conveyors, product handling systems, and a lot more.

SWD is available in 2 designs with a growth set

For each and every design, 2 equipment proportions are offered, each with or without an emergency brake. Haul scores are:

• SWD 125: sustains a 250 kg (551.1 pound.) upright tons and targets applications as much as a heap
• SWD 150: sustains a 700 kg (1,543.2 pound.) upright tons and targets applications over a heap

Each SWD is connectorized for 24VDC power, secure input/output (I/O) signals, CANopen interaction, USB, Ethernet (intended), and brake features. IDEC claimed this offers fast and functional plug-and-cord links in between the SWD and various other exterior automation parts. LEDs onboard the SWD supply a clear indicator of container and electric motor standing.

A concentrate on safety and security more differentiates the SWD, IDEC claimed. It makes sure that the application adheres to the ISO 3691-4 global requirement for mobile robotic safety and security. When incorporated with various other safety and security tools, such as IDEC SE2L laser scanners or bumper/edge buttons, the SWD can supply secure brake control (SBC), securely minimal rate (SLS), and secure instructions (SDI).

The Safety And Security Wheel Drive has a SIL2/PLd score, and a SIL3/PLe secure electric motor interference (STO) is additionally incorporated.

IDEC uses a pre-packaged development/starter set to speed up layout and decrease execution initiatives. This set consists of a set of SWD Cores, an SE2L safety and security laser scanner, a 24VDC battery pack with battery charger, a commercial computer (IPC) controller, a main affiliation box, a set of emergency situation quit switches, and a hand-operated controller.

Programmers can utilize this set, which comes installed, cabled, and set up, to assist them incorporate the SWD with a COMPUTER, a PLC, safety and security sensing units, and various other wired and cordless parts.

IDEC claimed the ez-Wheel item household throughout its SWD variety can decrease growth time while giving advanced and smooth powered activity. The business claimed it appropriates for mobile robotics and various other systems made use of in a vast array of sectors. Just like every one of its items, IDEC uses cost-free technology assistance for the SWD, without any solution or assistance agreement called for.
