VLT® 5000 Series: The best Drive for Industrial Applications - Designed by Experts in the field

For you as a manufacturer of high quality equipment for industry demands are uncompromising: You must design the most cost effective solutions in the market. Motion control is a competitive edge to this end. As a long-time vendor af AC motor drives to a wide variety of industries Danfoss has gathered a comprehensive handson experience in the area of motion control. This know-how is now at your disposal in the shape of the well-known drives VLT® 5000 Series with a SyncPos Montion Controller extension. Thanks to this enhancement we can offer you a complete range of drives for dynamic motion control applications up to 500 kW. The drives come with an integrated motion controller, suitable for:

The VLT® drives are accompained by a userfriendy windows based Software tool which enables you to tailor-make the drive to match your machine. Your value added know-how becomes an integral part of the drive. In addition, your customization always remains your property and can only be accessed by you. We can also offer you standard application programs which include all basic programming for typical applications. This makes commissioning extremely simple.

Speed Syncronizing:

Accurate speed of each motor thanks to a closed loop speed control with feedback from the encoders. The function is easy to scale

High energy savings due to a common DC link bus which distributes the DC power between all drives (load sharing). This feature is extremely useful in any flexible application where some motors are motoring and other motors are regenerative.This because the braking power is shared between the drives instead of being converted to heat by brake resistors

Easy changing of individual set point of each converter by using internal reference percentage value (which is added to the master set point).

No changing of gearwheel since the VLT® 5000 drive acts as a stepless, electronic gearbox, making changes between materials a matter of new settings.

Positioning On The Fly

Better product quality thanks to the high degree of accucary

A fast and continiuos production flow

Considerably reduced wear and tear due the smaller number of mechanical parts (shafts, chains, gearwheels etc.)

Great flexibility thanks to extremely easy change of product parameters: Everything can be re-programmed from the local control panel or a computer

The positioning on the fly application can also be used for

Container filling
Spray painting
Drilling

Index positioning

Increased output thanks to the higher dynamic of the paletizer
No product damage due to greater accuracy
Simply wiring and programming: The VLT® 5000 drive is an intelligent drive, offering total control of the application. Thus a PLC or a similar external controller may by superfluos
Compact design demanding less panel space
Fieldbus option
Index positioning is an ideal solution for palletizers in many industries. In addition it can be used for:
Indexing table
Depalletizers
Storage systems
Pick and place systems

Position Synchronizing

High packaging speed by synchronizing the speed of the teddy bears to match the speed of the boxes

Perfect alignment of the teddy bears and the boxes by positioning the speed of the teddy bears to match the speed of the boxes

To control these movements the drive reads operational data from the conveyor motors and two position sensors. The result is an extreme accuracy for not only conveyor system sbut also:

Material handling with grippers (e.g. newspapers)
Film wrapping (e.g. cigarette boxes)
Vibrator shaft synchronizing (e.g. concrete tile casting)
Multi-chain conveyor synchronizing (e.g. food processing)

Programmable Controller

Space saving thanks to a more compact panel design
Easier installation due to less wiring
Fewer sources of error, adding to robustness and reliability
Greater flexibility for the design of sophisticated applications
If the fieldbus option of the drive is utilized a considerable simplification of the communication wiring is obtained, resulting in further savings on panel space and installation costs.

The programmable controller is a unique feature which may add supplementary benefits to practically all applications, including the above or e.g.:

Crane and hoist applications
Product rejection systems
Winder applications
