Perfect material flow thanks to NORD

High availability and precision, intelligence, system expertise and compliance with demanding safety criteria while reducing the number of variants at the same time: Automated warehouse systems place great demands on drives in horizontal and vertical conveyor technology. With our drive solutions, you are able to perfectly meet these demands while also operating your warehouse logistics processes as economically and reliably as possible.

Drive solutions for warehouse logistics

The selection of the correct drive components is decisive for economic efficiency and safety of your conveyor technology systems in warehouse logistics. We have long-term experience in terms of drive design and know what is important. Our wide range of products includes both established basic and high-efficiency products and ensures optimum system availability. Thanks to the possibility of variant reduction and significant energy savings through tailor-made drive concepts, NORD drives can achieve an increased performance with reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) in any application.

Efficient warehouse automation

Whether chain or roller conveyors, pallet or container conveyor technology or overhead conveyors: We have the right solution for any warehouse logistics requirement. Our drive systems are characterised by high reliability, a long service life, low maintenance and a very compact design. They enable fast commissioning and simple operation, are ideally suitable for drive variant reduction and can be used in warehouse areas worldwide thanks to international certifications.

Conveyor drives for warehouse logistics:

  • High reliability during operation
  • Reduction of drive variants
  • Flexible modular system
  • Compact design, low weight
  • Large selection of centralised and decentralised drive electronics
  • Maximum user-friendliness
  • Plug-and-play technology
  • Excellent price/performance ratio

Economical drive solutions for end-of-line packaging

Drives with centrally controlled servo motors are commonly used in end-of-line packaging. However, in applications with large inertia or long movement distances – for example palletising, stabilising or handling – they are usually not mandatory. Decentralised drive solutions, for example with controlled asynchronous motors, are an efficient and economical alternative in this context. You can achieve significant cost savings with our modular drive concepts that are tailored to your specific application requirements.

We set things in motion – horizontally and vertically

For conveyor technology in warehouse logistics, we implement compact system solutions that meet the most demanding reliability and economic efficiency requirements. Our drive systems are particularly service- and maintenance-friendly, have a high overload capability and ensure smooth operation. Roller conveyors, chain conveyors and corner transfer conveyors particularly benefit from this.

Our conveyor drives are ideally suitable for:

  • Chain conveyors
  • Roller conveyors
  • Belt conveyors
  • Pallet conveyors
  • Container conveyors
  • Overhead conveyors

Roller conveyors are versatile transport systems for handling defined conveyed materials. NORD drives can be individually controlled to intelligently adjust the speed on the line – for the precise, dynamic control of distances and accumulation of the conveyed material.

Chain conveyors are primarily used to transport heavy load units and industrial containers. We supply correspondingly robust drive solutions with proven durability and reliability – in both single-line and double-line configurations. Our decentralised inverters are often used in warehouse logistics.

A corner transfer conveyor is a combination of roller and chain conveyors that performs a 90° change of direction. By lifting or lowering the chain, chain conveyors receive or transfer unit loads.

Greater flexibility, lower costs

We offer you a wide selection of decentralised drive technology that can be individually adapted to your application and flexibly integrated into the system environment. Whether mounted on the motor or decentralised close to the motor: Our frequency inverters are quick to install, easy to operate and compatible with all common bus systems and controls. They have a power range of up to 22 kW and a PLC that is integrated as standard, and can also be supplied with all commercially available plug connectors. Thanks to their modular structure, the inverters can be easily extended and offer an impressive variety of usage scenarios for your warehouse logistics applications.

Advantages of decentralised conveyor drives from NORD:

  • Wide range of modular products for decentralised drive technology
  • Frequency inverter with multi-protocol Ethernet interface
  • Integrated PLC for drive-related functions
  • Can be integrated into any system design
  • Scalable in function and power

NORDAC ON: Industry-optimised inverter for decentralised use

We developed the NORDAC ON specially for the requirements of horizontal conveyor technology in the warehouse sector. The compact, smart frequency inverter for decentralised use covers all industry-specific warehouse logistics requirements thanks to standardisation. All connections are pluggable and ensure quick, easy, error-minimised commissioning and maintenance on site. The integrated multi-protocol Ethernet interface enables communication via the protocols Profinet, EtherNet/IP and EtherCAT – the required protocol can be easily set via parameters.

Specially developed for warehouse logistics:

  • Integrated Ethernet interface
  • Maintenance-friendly
  • Full plug-in capability
  • Extremely compact design
  • Economical plug-and-play solution
