Do You Need A Single Phase VFD?

Thursday, December 22, 2011 by Beckie Bordenaro
Marshall Wolf Automation is the place to go for single phase variable frequency drives!

teco ev seriesWe are authorized stocking distributors for all the top names including AC Tech Lenze, Hitachi VFD"s, Delta, Fuji Electric and TECO Westinghouse drives.

The use of speed control with single-phase induction motors is popular because it not only provides variable speed but also reduces energy consumption and noise.

As you have probably already realized 3 phase input/output AC drives are easy to come by... single phase input/3 phase output can be a little bit more difficult.

If you would like to speak to engineer about your single phase VFD application just give us a call at 800-325-9653 or shoot us an email - sales@wolfautomation.com.

Thursday, October 20, 2011 by Caryl Clement
What type of Motovario motor are you looking for?  Motovario B Series Helical Bevel Gear Reducers and Gear motors offer more torque in a compact housing for easy adaptations into a wide range of applications! 

Or is it the In-Line Helical Gear Reducers & Gear motors Motovario H Series? This series housing has wide bearing support seats. Wider supports mean better load and shock handling and less stress on the reducer housing! 

Motovario MotorSmartBox H series housings have wide bearing support seats. The wider supports mean better load and shock handling and less stress on the reducer housing. The reducer feet, typically the focal point for torsion and other stresses, are relieved of some strain. By easing the stress on the reducer housing, reducer failure due to overhung load is eliminated.

How about the Smartbox Gear reducer?  The Modularity Concept of Motovario SmartBox™ means modular production and modular assembly for modular gear reducers. SmartBox™ is built with standardized parts, sharing gears, shafts, input sets and output shafts and flanges. SmartBox™ gear reducers are easily adapted for any application. With machined feet, tapped mounting holes and flange mounting available as standard, the SmartBox S Series can adapt easily to any application. Hollow bore or solid shaft output is also available, adding to the SmartBox S Series flexibility. Smaller SmartBox S Series units are also maintenance-free (sizes 050 and 060). These units are sealed and do not require a breather plug. All SmartBox PS and IS Series reducers are approved for the baking industry by BISSC.

Marshall Wolf Automation also carries Lenze motors, Weg motors and all of the variable speed motor drives to control the speed of your motor.

Baumer Laser Sensor News

Thursday, August 18, 2011 by David Sheets
Baumer has expanded its portfolio of distance measuring sensors with the OADM 260 laser distance sensor.  The new time of flight technology sensor measures distances up to 13 meters.  With its compact housing it is one of the smallest and at the same time most powerful sensors on the market.

OADM260

Marshall Wolf Automation, your full-line industrial automation distributor, is an authorized Baumer Electric distributor.

The OADM 260 laser distance sensor is especially suited for path measurements in large-format machines, i.e. in wood, metal, or paper processing, or in hydraulic lifts and raised platforms.  The repeat accuracy (+/- 5mm), linearity (+/- 20mm) and short measuring repetition rate 0f 10 ms allow precise measurements even on moving objects. 

The compact design of the sensor facilitates its integration into the application.  The measuring range of the OADM can be adjusted via a teach-in button or the connector cable.  The robust metal housing, the washable glass pane, and protection class IP 67 guarantee a high durability, even in harsh industrial applications.

Please visit our website at www.wolfautomation.com and view our vast product offering.  In addition to Baumer Electric, we offer AC Tech Lenze and Teco drives, Bonfiglioli USA gearboxes and Euchner switches, just to name a few.

Variable Frequency Drives and Generators

Wednesday, August 3, 2011 by Scott Welch
An email repsonse from: scott@wolfautomation.com

I received the following from technical support at AC Tech Lenze. He is looking at this as a backup generator that would turn on and off in certain circumstances. In your case this is our permanent power supply. Being that we do not sell generators I do not have a very good background in that area. By looking at the information below the main concern seems to be the phase to phase control coming from the generator. If the generator manufacturer can give you more detailed information on the output of the generator itself you would have to make sure we are getting what we need to maintain a smooth running AC drive/motor combination.

Although switching from line power to a backup generator is an accepted practice in many applications, there are some limitations you should be aware of pertaining to our Variable Frequency Drives. Many portable backup generators have a larger voltage swing on their phase to phase voltage input than our recommended phase to phase voltage tolerance which must be less than 2%. Although our AC Drives are equipped with surge guards in the input rectifier circuit, it may be necessary to use external protection for severe input disturbances such as surge arrestors. Larger variances cause greater ripple on the DC bus caps and this will damage them and other power components over time. Our drives need a minimum of 2 minutes between cycling of power. Otherwise it can damage the charge relay circuit or at the very least will blow the input fuses or trip the circuit breaker.

In cases where input power has “moderate” spikes in voltage which causes current surges, a 3% line reactor may help the situation.

Another solution is to add a voltage monitor with a suitable time delay. It has a protection trip level that shuts down in cases of under-voltage, over-voltage, a loss of phase and voltage imbalance between phases. This device ensures that our VFD will not see unbalanced input power or never be powered up until these other voltage tolerances and proper delay times are met.

EOS-Array - Expandable Photovoltaic Monitoring Solutions

Monday, June 20, 2011 by Caryl Clement
Eos ArrayThe Eos-Array is an expandable combination of modules which provides complete control of a photovoltaic plant. The core unit is the VMU-M which performs local bus management of both measuring units, the VMU-Sand the VMU-P and the VMU-O I/O unit. The VMU-M assigns the local unit address automatically and gathers the local measurements coming from VMU-S and VMU-P measuring units. The VMU-M can provide, via the VMU-O modules, two relay outputs to manage alarms and/or external loads (such as a lighting system,a PV washing system, etc.) and two PV panel temperature inputs. The VMU-S is the DC power measuring unit (generated by PV panel), features a built-in fuse holder. The VMU-P collects relevant environmental data (through external sensors) such as wind speed, air temperature and sun irradiation. The Eos-ArraySoft is freeware software, which downloads the Eos-Array system memory to the PC, for improved PV plant efficiency and analysis.

This, along with the full-range of Carlo Gavazzi sensors, is just some of what you can find at www.wolfautomation.com.  We are an authorized industrial automation distributor for all of the lines that we carry, so whether you are looking for Lenze Drives or Leuze Sensors, Marshall Wolf Automation is the place to go.
