Kiel (Ed.) E. Drive Solutions: Mechatronics for Production and Logistics

Berlin: Springer-Verlag. – 2008. – 545 p. This book wants to fill a gap. There are many reference books covering electric motors and drive control systems, but to date there is nothing describing the use of electronically controlled drives in production and logistics systems. The basis of this book is the extensive application knowledge of Lenze. Its genesis dates back to 2003, when we began to classify the vast number of applications that are implemented with our products. Until then we regarded each application as an individual case that required a customised solution. But this did not allow for an industrial approach to the engineering process. By thorough analysis we were able to identify and describe twelve classes of drive functions that are used in many industries. The initial outcome of this classification process, in 2005, was a promotional publication, Drive Solutions, which provided an eye-catching double-page description of each of these twelve application groups. This publication proved extremely popular because it gives an orientation about drive technology applications in mechanical engineering.Industrial production and automation
