| There are up to
1000 drives in a newspaper printing press. A lot
of know-how is behind this: the innovative direct
drives from Baumüller. With our diagnostic
and remote maintenance system - BAUDIS - we make
sure that you do not get your Sunday paper on
Monday.
From components to the complete installation
Baumüller is a leading supplier of drive
systems for printing presses: from cut-sheet and
label printers to newsprint. Baumüller is
a participant not only in the actual printing
process but also in the pre-press and post-production
stages. Long years of collaboration with the machine
manufacturers has allowed Baumüller to provide
all sectors of the printing industry with innovative

Save operating costs
Three-phase AC drives are a sensible investment
in the future. The intensive maintenance and high
power consumption of DC motors are, so far, the
major factors that drive operating costs up.
The Baumüller three-phase AC technology
- requires no maintenance,
- improves the total operating efficiency of
the drive system,
- has almost no need for reactive power
Exact process data - the way to the optimum
product
Of course the usual high speed, positioning and
torque accuracy of the Baumüller three-phase
AC technology can also be expected of DC drives.
Efficient microprocessors in the converters and
motor data stored in them produce precise feedback
on current torques and positions on the motor
shaft. The user can then perfectly control and
steer the printing process.

Shaftless machines:
Baumüller is a pioneer of direct drive technology
Baumüller was the first in Germany to apply
direct drive technology to web-fed printing presses.
Direct drive technology – benefits for
the machine manufacturer
- Costly and high-maintenance shafts, gears
and couplings are no longer needed
- Machines can be modular and decentralized
- Design, production and start-up times are
shortened
- Machine modules significantly simplify high-volume
production
- Small wear and tear means little maintenance
- Higher flexibility in the paper feeding
- Improved quality and higher productivity of
machines
Direct drive technology – benefits for
the end customer
- Higher flexibility and operating efficiency
in production
- Higher reliability
- Higher flexibility during the expansion of
production plants.
- Simpler and quicker conversion to new formats
- Simpler parts replacement where necessary
- Shorter downtimes, less waste paper
- Less training expenditures
- Lower overall costs
Diagnostic/maintenance

Our worldwide diagnostic and remote maintenance
system fulfills the functions of monitoring,
adjustment and optimization for the drive
systems used.
Remote maintenance and diagnostics help
greatly reduce your service and maintenance
costs.

highlights of our diagnostic and remote
maintenance system: |
- Direct on-line support through Baumüller
for drive diagnostics and parameterization.
- Integrated HTML help & information
system
- Graphical evaluation of data
- Videoconferencing with the service
technician

The machine determines the component
design
The innovative drive technology of Baumüller
guarantees new standards which take into account
and integrate special requirements into the respective
machine type. Baumüller is always able to
develop drives with the highest power density
& dynamic response, and always customized
to the specifications of the machine. The machine
determines the motor design.
 |
Components - the
basis
Synchronous and asynchronous motors can
be designed with varying degrees of protection.
Even special designs involving fluid cooling
or hollow shafts can be made depending on
the requirements.
The power densities reached for DC and
AC motors are identical. A DC motor can
easily be replaced by an AC motor with the
shaft height remaining the same.
|
