UP Universelle Fördertechnik GmbH mainly operates in the fields of materials handling technology for the automotive and logistics industry, where extremely highly skilled employees with decades of experience play a crucial role. With carefully selected collaboration partners, UP ensures that the resulting projects are completed from a single source. In that regard, UP offers services such as planning, configuration, design and project management, among others. The aforementioned activities are consistently used when implementing proprietary machine and plant construction projects as well.
An international focus has always been a staple of the company’s business activity since it was founded in 2005. Many projects have already been successfully completed particularly in Asia – specifically in the People’s Republic of China – and UP has become a well-established player in Chinese machine and plant construction.
A high-speed electric monorail system with two carriages was installed in the Application Demonstration Center of a joint customer. It is designed to retrieve green tires weighing a total of approx. 50 kg from an automated storage/retrieval system and simultaneously transport them to vulcanizing presses. Since the cycle time for vulcanization is very critical, high travel (4 m/s) and lift speeds (1 m/s) as well as fast acceleration (1.5 m/s2) are important.
For this application, a MAXOLUTION®system solution with MOVITRANS® for contactless power supply was chosen. The slotted waveguide that is integrated into the mounting rail enables shielded, high-bandwidth Wi-Fi communication. The drive package consists of the MOVIPRO® drive controller and mechatronic IE4 DRC.. electronic motors with an expanded control range for traveling and lifting. A segment controller coordinates the trolleys, and a WCS encoder handles the positioning. Last but not least, the MOVIVISION® parameterizable plant software is used for parameterization and diagnostics.
In this project, UP Universelle Fördertechnik GmbH has performed the complete mechanical design and engineering.
Over the past 15 years, using SEW-EURODRIVE’s products with the option of local support in nearly every country in which we have set up our systems have been significant factors in the success of our projects domestically and abroad.Fabian Pietsch, Managing Partner at UP GmbH
