Your complete package for custom-made motion control system solutions
Custom products require machines and production lines that can be quickly and easily modified to suit different formats, sizes, product types, and production workflows. A precise, dynamic, and easy-to-implement system solution for controlling and regulating the motion of electrically operated machine axes is increasingly becoming a unique selling point. Siemens offers a coordinated motion control system comprising a controller, drives, and motors, all seamlessly integrated into a single complete engineering concept.
Everything works together perfectly
Full performance and future viability combined with the simplest possible engineering and high security: That’s the Siemens Motion Control System. Optimally coordinated hardware and software play a key role. Open connectivity between the OT/IT levels means that you’re well-equipped for the challenges of the digital age.
The Motion Control System that simply fits
Motion
When it comes to continuous motion like that found in conveyor applications, you need a truly robust motion control solution. The best don’t just let you operate roller, belt, or chain conveyors flawlessly –they’re also energy-efficient. The motion control system from Siemens saves energy and tolerates heavy loads, even when operated continuously.
​Positioning
​When you need dynamics and precision, the Motion Control System from Siemens ensures that the controller, converter, and motors work perfectly together. The precise and cyclical positioning remains in place, even on different travel paths – and yet engineering and programming are unbelievably easy.
​Processing
Continuous processing operations go hand in hand with strict demands for speed, torque, and positioning accuracy. The Motion Control System is the ideal solution for production machines with coordinated axis movements.
Handling
From palletizing and assembly to pick-and-place activities, the Motion Control System is the perfect solution for easily, precisely, and efficiently controlling handling systems with multiple coupled mechanical axes.
Machining
From highly dynamic spindles to feed and auxiliary axes for lathing, milling, drilling, and sawing, the Motion Control System is the right solution for all material processing applications.
​Drive System Services - analog or digital
We keep your production running and provide the basis for continuous improvement. We’re on hand to assist in all sectors, putting our experience and skills at your disposal with our range of services for low-voltage drive systems, consisting of SINAMICS converters and SIMOTICS electric motors. We’ll be there wherever you need us, throughout the entire lifecycle of your machine.
We support you along the entire lifecycle
Reviewing and consulting in detail
​
In the first step, our digitalization experts perform a Digitalization Check to determine how your motors and converters can be connected to MindSphere. Based on these results, we give you specific, comprehensive recommendations for the next steps in the digitalization process of your drive components.
Customized implementation of drive systems
​
In the second step, we create the perfect connection linking your drive systems and motors with MindSphere. Customized connection modules are available for various converter and motor types. That means you’ll already have access to key operational data for your motors and converters.
A sound basis for optimization
​
Based on the data transparency we achieve, we provide you with the assistance you need to make your drive components more reliable, available, and efficient for the long term. One example is Predictive Services, which gives you benefits not only from stored data but also from our expertise in industrial implementation and automation.
Traditional Services
On the path to digital manufacturing, our traditional services provide a strong foundation for rigorous and lasting improvements to your processes. We’re there to help you throughout the entire lifecycle of your production systems. Whether it’s for mechanical engineers, dealers, or machine operators, or for product development, production operation, or optimization.
Local Service Contracts
​A Local Service Contract designed specifically for your plant covers the service life of your machine tools and production systems just like a modular preventive care program – a crucial contribution to efficient production.
​Retrofit for Machine Tools
Take your controller to the state of the art – with a manageable level of investment. Are the mechanical components of your machine tool still in good condition, but the control and/or drive section are no longer technically up-to-date? A retrofit for machine tools, for example to SINUMERIK ONE, could be the solution and often much more economical than purchasing a new machine.
