Flexibility for every axis: motor-integrated or motor-proximate

Modern machine designs must meet a wide range of requirements for flexibility, compatibility, and future-proofing. The decentralized MOVIDYN® servo system specifically addresses these challenges while offering an integration solution tailored to each axis.

On the one hand, the servo technology can be fully integrated into the motor, maximizing power density and minimizing the required installation space. On the other hand, the servo drive can be installed near the motor, allowing the drive electronics to be flexibly positioned within the field—ideal for modular machine structures.

Both approaches are combined into a unified system architecture, which further increases scalability and flexibility across various machine and plant types. This allows users to benefit from a high degree of design freedom, reduce their installation effort, and lay the foundation for efficient, future-proof production environments.

Cost-effective modularity across machine generations

Modularity should not be a cost driver. With the MOVIDYN® decentralized servo system, modular mechanical engineering is not only possible but also highly cost-effective. Because standardized machine modules are easier to integrate and faster to configure, you secure a decisive competitive advantage. The components are designed to be so flexible that they can be efficiently reused across different machine generations.

Intelligent energy management through DC-link architecture

Sustainability meets cost-effectiveness: The consistent DC-link architecture (DC link), combined with SEW-EURODRIVE’s innovative Power and Energy Solutions, enables intelligent energy management. Through efficient energy utilization and direct energy exchange between the axes, you can sustainably reduce your operating costs.

By integrating servo technology directly into the machine^{, MOVIDYN®}reduces the need for control cabinets. This saves valuable space and lowers material and installation costs thanks to simplified cabling.

The consistent DC-link architecture provides a connection between decentralized drives via a common DC link. This allows energy to be exchanged directly between braking and acceleration axes, making energy management significantly more efficient.

The entire system utilizes the uniform and consistent engineering of the product family from theMOVI-C®modular automation system from SEW-EURODRIVE, which greatly simplifies programming, startup, and diagnostics.
