With
Sinamics G115D, Siemens presents a new, compact, and powerful drive system
specifically designed for horizontal conveyor applications. The drive system
comprises motor, frequency converter and gearbox in one unit and is offered in
two versions – wall-mounted and motor-mounted. The Sinamics G115D drive system
is characterized by a robust design with a high IP protection class (up to
IP66) and is therefore also suitable for use in harsh environments. Thanks to
its compact dimensions, the Sinamics G115D can be installed easily even in
confined areas. The drive system can also be operated reliably over a wide
temperature range of -30 to 55 degrees Celsius. The Sinamics G115D drive system
is suitable for applications in intralogistics and airports as well as in the
automotive and food & beverage industries and is available in the power
ranges 0.37 to 7.5 kilowatts for wall mounting and 0.37 to 4 kilowatts for
motor mounting. The drive system can be put into operation quickly and easily
with comprehensive integration into the TIA (Totally Integrated Automation)
portal including the Startdrive commissioning software, or the Sinamics G120 Smart
Access Module (SAM) web server tool for setup and diagnostics. To be prepared
for the digital transformation and to enable cloud-based analyses, Sinamics
G115D is integrated into the entire MindConnect portfolio and is compatible
with Mindsphere applications such as Analyze MyDrives.

As part of the pebbles research project,
Siemens, the regional utility Allgäuer Überlandwerk (AÜW) and their project
partners are developing a local electricity market using blockchain technology.
Today, the parties launched pebbles’ electricity trading platform, bringing
them one step closer to creating the first local marketplace for optimized
electricity trading based on blockchain. The platform will be utilized in in
the town of Wildpoldsried in the Bavarian Allgäu region of Germany. Now, during
the platform’s demonstration phase, private producers can use an app to market
their electricity directly to local consumers without going through marketers
or traditional grid operators. The market platform also supports flexible power
from battery storage or controllable loads such as heat pumps or charging
stations for electric vehicles. The blockchain technology, which forms the
basis for managing market transactions, is designed to create end-to-end
transparency and trust between users.
- Siemens and Netze BW cooperating on multi-year field test
- First distribution substation with innovative blue GIS 24 kV ring main unit live in Oberallgäu
- Fluorine gas-free Clean Air switchgear and bio-ester transformer boost sustainability
In conjunction with their ongoing research
cooperation, Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Netze BW GmbH, headquartered in
Stuttgart, have co-developed an intelligent and environmentally-friendly distribution
substation. For the first time, the new station combines the F-gas-free 24
kilovolt (kV) ring main unit (RMU) from the Siemens blue GIS portfolio with a
630 kilovolt-ampere (kVA) distribution grid transformer. Instead of mineral
oil, the Eco Design 2-certified transformer uses fully biodegradable, natural
bio-ester oil for insulation. The integrated automation system from the Siemens’
Sicam portfolio is designed for the special requirements of distributed grids
and enables reliable monitoring and control of the grid. The innovative
substation, which will connect the medium-voltage distribution grid and the
low-voltage local grid in the town of Kreuzthal in the Oberallgäu region, is now
being tested under real-life conditions.
As a virtual event, the Siemens Machine
Tool Days provide insights into digital solutions for the machine tool
industry. Keynotes, #HowTo expert panels and practical examples will deal with
digital possibilities for increasing productivity in manufacturing under the
motto "Digitalization in Machine Tool Manufacturing - Thinking further!
Using the Digital Enterprise portfolio as an example, Siemens will show how the
integration of automation and digitization with future technologies such as
edge and cloud computing and artificial intelligence can be used effectively in
every phase of the value-added chain: from building a digital twin of the
product to production and machine performance to digital services.
> Register here > Explore our agenda
Today, the need for industrial digital solutions is more pressing and more important than ever before. During this event, we want to show how you can benefit from our digital solutions for the machine tool industry - from the Digital Twins of product, production and performance to every aspect of the value chain, including digital services.
- Sinumerik One Dynamics - three technology packages to increase the efficiency of CNC users when programming in the shopfloor and executing CAM-generated CNC programs
- Top Surface and Top Speed Plus for excellent motion control and perfect workpiece surfaces
With the software version NCU-SW 6.14, Siemens is launching three powerful technology packages exclusively for the CNC Sinumerik One. The Sinumerik One Dynamics packages are available in three different packages: One Dynamics Operate, One Dynamics 3-axis milling and One Dynamics 5-axis milling. The software functions contained in the technology packages support users from machine-oriented programming in the jobshop to high-performance machining of CAD-CAM-programmed workpieces with high surface quality.
- Improvement of machine tool availability through predictive maintenance with Analyze MyMachine /Condition
- Analyze MyMachine /Condition for Sinumerik Edge creates a mechanical fingerprint of the machine tool
- Condition evaluation, analysis and comparison of all connected machines using the Mindsphere application
Siemens is extending its edge application Analyze MyMachine /Condition with a corresponding Mindsphere application and thus demonstrating how edge computing and cloud computing can be intelligently combined. The Sinumerik Edge Application Analyze MyMachine /Condition, which the company presented last year at the EMO, uses high-frequency CNC data to create the mechanical fingerprint of a machine tool. In the application, users can capture and evaluate various parameters such as stiffness, friction, and backlash in the individual axes with the help of flexibly configurable measurement series. The measurement results can then be visualized and compared with reference data.
