The project involved a collaboration between IPC and a company specializing in manufacturing machines for cutting and shaping leather and textiles. The two entities boast a long-standing partnership, spanning over two decades of exchange and knowledge sharing.
To improve the performance of a series of machines already on the market, the company approached IPC for an upgrade of the servo motor components. This modernization was essential to align the machine specifications with today’s highest technological standards.
Project features
Once the customer’s request was received, IPC’s in-house technical team began an initial research phase. Following a series of analyses and calculations, a range of servo motors was identified that could meet the technical requirements and budget constraints. These products are characterized by high-performance technology, capable of performing operations in less time with greater precision and efficiency. After selecting the optimal solution, fine-tuning was carried out to finalize the operational project.
A challenging aspect was that the machines were already on the market, necessitating the integration of new components while minimizing changes and conducting the technological upgrade without significant impacts on the machine series’ design or mechanical layout. Compared to the previously used motors, IPC’s solution features more compact and higher-performing dimensions. Additionally, the servo motors are homologated and certified, offering added value in terms of compliance with national and international safety standards.
Brushless servo motors are AC motors with extremely precise control of position, speed, and torque.
A valuable collaboration
The project yielded significant results, generating a highly positive return for the client. IPC’s solution improved the cutting heads of the machine series (as well as the three main axes), reducing bulk and increasing reliability. The machines now offer high execution speed, greater efficiency, and reduced downtime, with a positive impact on the final cost.
Thanks to this technological upgrade project, the client introduced a high-performance series of machines to the market, thus enhancing its competitive edge over other manufacturers.
IPC solutions for motion control
IPC has extensive experience in providing innovative motion control products. For brushless servo motors, IPC offers a broad catalog featuring a wide range of speed controls, smooth and stable torque, compact dimensions, high power, energy efficiency, and low maintenance costs. The project undertaken by IPC was challenging in terms of design and identifying the solution best suited to the client’s expectations. It was a challenge successfully met through the collaboration of all resources involved in the project.
Further developments are expected in the near future, involving additional machines from the client, aiming to continue along the path of innovation and technological advancement for competitive growth and development.
