A new sorting and distribution center in Melbourne boasting a capacity of 35,000 parcels per hour gives Australia's largest mover of freight, Toll IPEC, an edge over competitors in the booming sector of shipping merchandise for online businesses. Conveying solutions provider BCS has built a modular, intelligent facility that quickly and efficiently takes in parcels, sorts them, and loads them onto trucks. For the configuration of the drive units, BCS relied on NORD DRIVESYSTEMS' expertise. A great number of NORD drives were selected with a particular focus on easy installation and maintenance.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2017, NORD Motorreductores S.A., the Spanish subsidiary of the NORD DRIVESYSTEMS Group, is looking back at a quarter century of growing success.
At the SPS IPC Drives Italia exhibition, German manufacturer NORD DRIVESYSTEMS is showcasing user-friendly innovations in the segment of distributed drive technology.
In September 2017, the recently introduced NORDAC LINK series of field distribution systems will be further supplemented by frequency inverters for motors rated up to 7.5 kW. With these additions, the new series from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will then comprise a comprehensive line-up of drive solutions specifically tailored to networked conveyor systems with many drive axes. The new size 2 systems will be deployed wherever smaller drives do not suffice and extra power is needed – for instance, in inclined conveyors, hoists, or long belt conveyors.
