"High-end shaker" with top performance

Shock absorber test bench with linear motor technology

Machine Building

ZF Friedrichshafen AG – Schweinfurt / ZF machinebuilding

Increased end user requirements (ZF test bench areas and OEM)
Product testing in connection with increased dynamic response, free motion profiles, and a higher traversing quality

Highly dynamic test bench solution thanks to the use of direct drive technology and full system integration up to the control

SINAMICS S120 drive system, extended range of functions due to use of Technology Extensions (POLYGON and SIVALU)
Continuous support by Siemens Mechatronic Support
Customized SIMOTICS L-1FN3 linear motor
Fail-safe SIMATIC controller CPU 1515SP PC (Open Controller)

At even higher forces, several linear drives can be arranged in parallel and matched to each other by control technology.

Thomas Heilmann, Group Manager for Chassis Projects at ZF machinebuilding in Schweinfurt

High dynamic response and accuracy by using an integrated drive system (SINAMICS and SIMOTICS)
PC-based solution by using the ET 200SP Open Controller, which perfectly combines control and PC functionality
Option of mobile use, as energy can be "buffered" in the Siemens drive system
First distribution of the developed solution/technology outside the ZF Group

Special-purpose machines for the automotive and supplier industry
