Mini Motor, was born in the heart of the Emilian Motor Valley, in Bagnolo in Piano (RE), and for over 55 years has been designing and manufacturing electric motors applicable in different industrial sectors, designed to meet and anticipate the needs of Industry 4.0. From Italy to the rest of the world, the company has branches in Europe, the USA, and the Arab Emirates accompanied by a widespread network of dealers.
Automation and motion control, among the company’s major innovations Mini Motor’s is a range aimed at innovation, designed to be perfectly compliant with the needs of companies working in an Industry 4.0 perspective, with products designed for automation and motion control. The DBS series was born in line with this philosophy: brushless motors with integrated drive and absolute multi-turn encoder, whose connectivity is ensured by the support of the 6 most common field buses. One of the great innovations of these motors is the presence in them of sensors capable of sensing temperature, current, speed, but above all vibrations, through an accelerometer.
These sensors detect and communicate their anomalies and that of of the organs connected to them, then, crossing the variables sent through the field bus, allow to obtain real predictive maintenance, which avoids the compromise of the production or the machine, in- creasing its longevity, but above all decreasing the replacement of components.
Among the DBS motors, but first, of its kind, the WBS is a brushless servo motor with integrated wireless activation, thanks to its built-in wireless interface and the presence of an inductively charged battery.
The USB stick that brings the benefits of wi-fi to DBS engines Perfectly inserted within the innovations brought in the mechatronics world by the Digital Transformation, the device realized by Mini Motor for better monitoring and set-up of the electric motor: the USB key for the brushless DBS motors just mentioned. It offers to the user all the advantages of the wireless connection: a wi-fi connection and a browser are enough to access from several devices and modify the parameters of the motor.
The key can also be left on the electric motor, set remotely. An advantage found particularly in those machines subjected to isolation measures to prevent contamination and in those with motors located in positions difficult to reach by the user. This innovative system is the perfect cross between mechanics, electronics, and computer science, concretely able to guarantee practicality and simplicity in terms of usability by the user himself. Besides, the Mini Motor USB flash drive removes the obstacle of reaching motors in difficult positions, making it ideal for plants and machinery for the processing and handling of the product, which require sudden changes in motor speed or frequent format change operations imposed by the dynamics of the market.
For the customer, this is a gain not only in terms of convenience but also in terms of dynamism and efficiency of its fleet of motors, entering more and more into a perspective of integrated logic in which aiming to guide the entire production from remote. As for all the projects that lead to the creation of the wide range of Mini Motor products, the fruit of years of experience but also of continuous re- search and a look to the future, also in this case the Emilian company does not limit itself to answering market questions, but pushes its innovation further, creating products capable of truly improving work in companies and filling the gaps of competitors.
