HOW GREATER ADOPTION OF AUTOMATION IS PUSHING DEMAND FOR DRIVES AND ENCODERS
Article Reader

WITH THE RISING ADOPTION OF AUTOMATION in the manufacturing sector, the demand for various components including drives and encoders of different types are continuously growing.

Sanat Vajpai, India Business Manager - Intelligent Devices at Rockwell Automation, says productivity optimisation, downtime minimisation and energy efficiency remain major trends fueling the growth of drives and encoders. "This is due to the sustainability push by the India government and corporate businesses."

He explains the mega trend of digital transformation needs data at its core, and this requires intelligent and connected devices on the field like variable frequency drives (VFDs) and encoders along with sensors.

Modern intelligent drives are a key technology for the fourth industrial revolution, because they enable the coordinated operation of networked, decentralised, and autonomous production processes, agrees Amit Deokule, Sr. GM- Sales & Marketing, NORD Drivesystems Pvt. Ltd.

With the PLC which is integrated into the NORD frequency inverter, he says application-specific functions close to the drive unit can be efficiently programmed and parameterised in the same way as other frequency inverter functions.

Even though this industrial development is still in its infancy, Deokule explains that the development perspective is toward cyber-physical systems, which operate decentrally, independent of their particular manufacturers and across various locations.

"Encoders play an integral role in almost every mechanical system that involves motion monitoring or control. The frequency inverters 'speed control is extremely precise thanks to sophisticated and fast measuring methods and calculation algorithms in combination with integrated high-precision current vector control," he adds.
