Pursuing its constant innovation approach aimed at making its machines increasingly ergonomic and automated, Cincinnati VR has chosen to equip its new pillar drill-thread cutter with a new integrated variable speed motor, the Commander ID300 from Leroy-Somer. This drive solution enables adaptation of the spindle rotation speed according to the material being worked, for a better-quality machining result.

For more than fifty years the Leroy-Somer foundry has been designing and producing grey and spheroidal graphite cast-iron components in short, medium and long production runs. A pillar of the engine manufacturer's industrial organisation, the unit also provides a multi-sector response to the most demanding technical briefs for the design, engineering or manufacturing of foundry components.

Always seeking to meet both market requirements and customer expectations, Leroy-Somer has now launched a new 20 Working Days manufacturing lead time service covering a large selection of the latest generation AC motors. This will be one of the quickest delivery solutions currently available on the market for low- and high-power motors with options.

Leroy-Somer has been designing and manufacturing motors and alternators for the nuclear industry for over 40 years. Many years of design discipline and experience allow the company to offer superior designed products meeting the requirements of the nuclear industry. Relying on a dedicated team of trained experts, Leroy-Somer ensures the global project management in order to offer the drive and energy generation solutions rigorously tailored to these sensitive applications, considering maximal reliability and lifetime.

With torque capabilities from 10 to 23000 Nm and a simplified range of products based on various motor technologies, Leroy-Somer can propose a wide choice of reliable and effective electromechanical drive solutions for extra performance and efficiency, meeting to market expectations and compatible with the most demanding applications.

A Denmark-based specialist in aquafeed production has replaced an ageing, damaged DC motor on its principal extruder with a Dyneo^® motor from Leroy-Somer, part of the Nidec group. The investment is providing the company with significant annual savings in energy costs.

Leroy-Somer, a business of the Nidec group, is preparing for the launch of new ranges at SPS IPC Drives, the Europe’s leading exhibition for electric automation, from November 28 to 30, in Nuremberg / Germany.

Leroy-Somer has developed the Express Availability offer to provide clients with a reliable, high quality and performing Motors & Drives solution in a very short delivery time.

Since 19 November urban mobility in the French city of Brest has been boosted by two cable cars carrying up to 60 people who travel more than 400 meters above the River Penfeld, with a power consumption that is potentially close to zero. Supported by Leroy-Somer, the companies Bartholet France and Seirel are behind this achievement which is a world first in terms of technology.

Electric propulsion generates no emissions and is extremely user-friendly: the vessels that use it are silent, experience much lower levels of vibration and are easier to handle. Last but not least in terms of its advantages: parallel hybrid represents an attractive economic proposition. Leroy-Somer and Control Techniques have been suppliers of marine applications for many years. In association with Mayday Electronics they have now produced a high-performance propulsion system which is at the leading edge of hybrid technology. The system was developed for CNB PRO, a trademark of Construction Naval Bordeaux (Bénéteau Group), and its client, NAVE VA.
