WHAT IS AND WHY MAXOLUTION®?

MAXOLUTION® THE BENEFITS OF SEW-EURODRIVE BUILT RIGHT IN.

How do you value a company that has solved complex drive system problems for almost every application, in virtually every industry, at an unstoppable rate? What does your business need to improve the way it manufactures, extracts, distributes, or grows its products and services? You need a company that specializes in the integration process between the machines that do the work and the work involved in designing the machines.

MAXOLUTION® WE’RE ALL IN ONE. FACTORY AUTOMATION SERVICES

Inspired by the notable shift from traditional automation processes to the emerging industry 4.0 methodology, MAXOLUTION® unites the entire design, development, construction, management, and integration process into one.

MAXOLUTION® We’re all in ONE, is not only a symbol of the synergy between SEW-Eurodrive and MAXOLUTION® but also their ideology —a shift in the way we think. Their belief is that the combined knowledge of nearly a century of automation experience, coupled with the driven nature of their people, will yield a compilation of talent trained to work, think, and act as one.

The creation of a centralized systems development and integration team working in unison offers the key benefits of consistency in design, access to emerging technologies, future growth, 24/7/365 support, and ownership of the project from inception to start-up. Imagine the stress, time, and effort you will save knowing that the minds of their scientists, engineers, software developers, technicians, approved partners, and consultative sales personnel are working on your project as a unit. Stop imagining, and realize the power of ONE.

MAXOLUTION® AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLES MTS SERIES

MTS Series Automated Guided Vehicles overview.
(AGVs) are commonly used for material transfer, manufacturing assembly stations, flexible conveying systems, and many other plant production services. Mobile conveying vehicles are ideal for scalable factory automation.

WHAT CAN AGV’S BE USED FOR?

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are commonly used for material transfer, manufacturing assembly stations, flexible conveying systems, and many other plant production services.

Guidance Options:

SLAM Simultaneous Localization and Mapping
Uses localization of natural structures with no tape
Inductive line guidance sensor
Very stable in rough environment, detects lane drift
Optical line guidance sensor
Detects lane drift to a colored tape, flexible for layout changes but not usable in rough environment

CONTACTLESS ENERGY TRANSFER

AGV’s can be powered or charged by SEW-EURODRIVE’s MOVITRANS® contactless energy transfer system. MOVITRANS® operates on the principle of inductive energy transfer, where electrical energy is transferred from a fixed conductor to one or more mobile consumers without contact. The electromagnetic connection is made via an air gap that runs 24/7 and is maintenance-free since there is no contact between the conductor and powered vehicle.

MAXOLUTION® offers a centralized system development environment and an integration team delivering complex drive system solutions for almost every application. The team offers automation and engineering expertise from inception though startup, and after sale consulting and maintenance. SEW-EURODRIVE’s MAXOLUTION® factory automation solutions consist of MTS Series intelligent vehicles, contactless energy transfer technology, WLAN communication, navigation options, and a wide variety of payload handling options. Combined with their gearmotors and control electronics, their MTS Series AGVs and factory automation components ensure a reliable and cost-effective system of material flow and in-plant logistics.

MTS SERIES SPECIFICATIONS

• Vehicle length from 845-2110mm
• Payload range from 500-3000kg
• Energy options for up to 24/7 runtime
• Inductive,optical,and free-navigation guidance options
• Lead crystal battery power
• Inductive charging option

MAXOLUTION® AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLES (AGVS)

Automated guided vehicle systems (AGVs) ensure an automated in-house flow of materials, and are now used for assembly lines in many industrial sectors. The MAXOLUTION® AGVS system solutions consist of intelligent vehicles, contactless energy transfer systems and WLAN communication. They offer high flexibility and great practical benefits.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE MAXOLUTION® AGV SYSTEM SOLUTION?

The MAXOLUTION^® Automated guided vehicle (AGV) system solution consists of intelligent vehicles, contactless energy transfer systems, and WLAN communication. Industrial AGV’s systems ensure an automated in-house flow of materials and are used for assembly lines in many industrial sectors.

AGV BENEFITS

Ability to minimize downtime
Ability to improve efficiency
24 / 7 / 365 availability (AGV’s don’t sleep)
Improved safety of your facility
A scalable system that can reduce labour costs
An established platform for full automation
Modular and adaptable to accommodate for future expansions

WHAT SYSTEM IS USED TO POWER AGVS?

AGVs are powered by our contactless energy transfer system—MOVITRANS®. MOVITRANS® operates on the principle of inductive energy transfer. Electrical energy is transferred from a fixed conductor to one or more mobile consumers without contact. Time-consuming, cumbersome drag-chain systems have become a thing of the past. The electromagnetic connection is made via an air gap and is maintenance-free and wear-free. This contactless energy supply enables high speeds of more than 10 m/s. And as line cables are routed under the floor, there are no longer any obstacles disrupting transverse traffic.

ADVANTAGES OF USING A CONTACTLESS ENERGY TRANSFER SYSTEM—MOVITRANS®.

Other advantages of integrating a contactless energy transfer system are its ability to run emission-free—resulting in a healthier work environment. MOVITRANS^® is resistant to contamination and does not produce any noise emissions. These factors contribute to a better level of productivity, safety, and sustainable growth.
