2007年4月20日，機械驅動器ACSM1——-ABB能源節約型變速驅動器家族系列最新版，在漢諾威展會上展出。 ACSM1已于今年早期在歐洲上市，并擴展了ABB驅動器組合，提供了在機械應用范圍內的速度、轉矩和運動控制，滿足了從基礎到苛刻性的要求。 此驅動器對ABB廣泛用于控制電動發動機的變速驅動器是一個補充。也鞏固了ABB在交流驅動器市場的領導地位，同時強調公司要幫助客戶提高生產力和能源使用效率的義務。 事例展示了一個半速運行的電動機僅用了全速運作動力的八分之一。對于當前猛長的能量消耗壓力給工業環境造成了沖擊。極少的公司會忽視這種可以節約的可能性。 ACSM1是為使用復雜機器而專門設計的，還組合了機器制造商所要求的靈活性。 模塊設計 它可以被用于同步和感應電動機，其模塊設計和靈活性軟件使得它可以在大范圍內使用，如材料處理系統、自動化倉庫、提升機、紡紗機，以及在低噪音環境中的高速應用。 ABB在能源節約型電機驅動器方面是很有名望的，在漢諾威展會上展出了許多這一類產品。在2006年，公司安裝的驅動器約節約130太瓦時電，約等于節約了10900萬噸CO2釋放的能量。 original text [COLOR=#708090]ABB‘s new high-performance, energy-saving machinery drive featured at Hannover Fair 2007-04-20 - The machinery drive ACSM1 is ABB‘s latest addition to its family of energy-saving variable-speed drives, on display this week at Hannover Fair. The ACSM1 was launched in Europe earlier this year and extends ABB‘s drives portfolio to provide speed, torque and motion control across a broad range of machinery applications, from basic to highly demanding. It complements ABB‘s extensive range of variable speed drives controlling the performance of electric motors. It also strengthens ABB‘s leading position in the AC drives market, and underscores the company‘s commitment to help customers improve productivity and use energy more efficiently. Advanced features and flexibility “This new drive combines the high performance of DTC （direct torque control） with advanced control features and flexibility in hardware and software,” said Michael Link, ABB‘s product manager for motion control drives in Germany.”That means new opportunities for energy savings in a broader range of applications.” Those include processes in the food and beverage industry, material handling, packaging, paper and paper board, printing, rubber and plastic, textiles and woodworking. Electric motors are the workhorses of industry, providing the mechanical power to drive conveyor belts and cooling fans, water pumps and steam plants, but they needlessly consume vast quantities of electricity in the process. Using drives to control their performance ensures motors use only the electricity they really need, and the savings can be substantial. Fine motor control Variable speed drives control the speed of a motor by regulating the frequency and voltage of the power it receives. Unlike other control methods, drives allow fine performance control with smooth transitions between operating modes. This improves process quality and reduces damage caused by sudden stops and starts. Examples show that running a motor at half speed consumes only one eighth the power required for full-speed operation. With current energy costs soaring and increasing pressure being brought to bear on the environmental impact of industry, few businesses can afford to ignore such potential for savings. The ACSM1 was specifically designed for use in complex machinery and incorporates the flexibility demanded by machine manufacturers. Modular design It can be used with synchronous and induction motors, and its modular design and flexible software make it suitable for use in a range of applications, such as material handling systems, automatic warehouses, winders, spinning machines and also for high-speed applications in low-noise environments. ABB is famous for its energy-saving motor drives, a number of which are on display at Hannover Fair. In 2006, the company‘s installed base of drives saved an estimated 130 terawatt-hours of electricity. That equates to a saving of 109 million tons of CO2 emissions.[/color]
