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.
- Siemens presents the first virtual additive manufacturing reference factory for selective laser sintering and industrial post-processing with its partners EOS and DyeMansion
- End-to-end software and automation solutions from the Digital Enterprise portfolio drive the industrialization for leading technology providers and users of additive manufacturing
Under the motto "Partnering for the next step to industrialize Additive Manufacturing", Siemens is going to present at Formnext Connect its Digital Enterprise Portfolio for the industrialization of additive manufacturing as well as innovations with partners around new achievements in various additive manufacturing technologies. One highlight is the partnership with EOS and DyeMansion. Together, the three companies will present the first virtual additive manufacturing reference factory for selective laser sintering with polymers. Using the example of a midsole for footwear applications in which parameters such as design, fit and color are individually and economically taken into account, Siemens, EOS and DyeMansion will demonstrate what the next step towards the industrialization of selective laser sintering with polymers can look like along the entire production chain. "The automated chain of coordinated production steps from all suppliers, from design and printing to post-processing, as well as end-to-end IT integration, is crucial for high productivity and maximum flexibility. This applies to series parts as well as to a highly flexible lot-size-1 production for individualized products or spare parts," explains Dr. Karsten Heuser, Vice President Additive Manufacturing at Siemens Digital Industries, and continues: "With the end-to-end digitization and automation solutions from Siemens, we have succeeded, together with our partners EOS and DyeMansion, in creating a seamlessly integrated end-to-end value chain for industrial additive manufacturing with selective laser sintering and industrial post-processing solutions using polymers.”

- 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.
