Gardena is moving into the future of water with LinMot
GARDENA has always proven to be a particularly sustainable innovator . Thanks to a partner , the basic requirements for future-oriented and sustainable production have been met : With the latest linear rotary and linear technology from the drive specialist LinMot , GARDENA has succeeded in redefining the precision , speed and sustainability of its production systems .
The Micro-Drip System ( MDS ) is a resource-efficient irrigation solution that delivers water drop by drop to where plants need it : to the roots thus greatly reducing water consumption .
The new generation of production should offer more process reliability , increased precision in force control and process parameters as well as sustainability and energy efficiency , which led GARDENA to choose LinMot .
PR02 – Linear / Rotary modules . Implementing industrial systems for precise and dynamic locking , screwing or assembly is an extremely complex challenge with conventional servo solutions .
The LinMot PR02 provides both the rotary and linear servo motion combined in one compact motor avoiding the need for more complex and heavy servo motors and guides .
Precision with Feedback Force and Torque sensors are available as options for the LinMot PR02 which enable real-time monitoring and evaluation of process parameters with an accuracy of equal or better than 1 % of the demanded value .
Thanks to the precision of the LinMot PR02 motors , GARDENA have found their systems are 3 to 4 times faster than their older process .
Total Flexibility Parameters and contours can change fundamentally and quickly on both the product and the machine side , so that the re-teaching of the individual positions must be done quickly , easily and precisely . Thanks to their flexibility , the LinMot motors adapt to all adjustments to the production machines at lightning speed and all changes can be made very quickly .
DM01 / SM01 – Linear modules The modularity of the LinMot linear modules such as the DM01 and SM01 also impressed the GARDENA engineers .
This provides a way for X and Y pick and place units to be quickly and easily assembled .
Sustainability or efficiency ? The question of having sustainability and efficiency working together has been well and truly answered as the collaboration between GARDENA and LinMot proves .
