At the 2024
Smart Production Solutions show in Nuremberg, global industrial automation company
Inovance launched its articulated and SCARA industrial robot ranges in Europe. The company also presented a eco-friendly drive and motor — the MV33 AC motor and the MD630 AC drive — that meet Europe’s stringent environmental requirements. Furthermore, a new product-range-wide design philosophy, IntelliPulse, was also unveiled.
As one of China’s leading industrial automation brands, Inovance sells its robots into almost every application imaginable including automotive parts, welding, injection molding, die casting and lithium battery manufacturing, as well as to manufacturers of smartphones and laptops. In China, Inovance’s articulated robots are available with payloads of up to 300kg. For Europe, the initial launch is for models capable of handling up to 20kg, but larger payload models will be progressively released through 2025.
Additionally, Inovance has launched a new drive and motor each of which is one of the highest efficiency options on the market. The IE5-rated MV33 AC motor is Inovance’s first AC industrial motor in Europe and uses hairpin technology adapted from the automotive sector. Meanwhile, the MD630 AC drive has been designed for European customers and has built-in EtherCAT, Profinet, and EtherNET/IP. It can operate in 60°C temperatures and complies with all European directives. It is also easy-to-use, cost-effective, and offers STO SIL 3 safety and flexible programmable logic.
The MV33 and the MD630 are the first European products to be offered in Inovance’s IntelliPulse design philosophy which will eventually cover the entire Inovance product range. IntelliPulse makes all Inovance products easy to identify, and the new brand colour extends to the functional touchpoints of the product, offering active and responsive light language characteristics.
David Bedford Guaus, Inovance’s Barcelona-based strategic marketing manager, said: “China is the workshop of the world, and vast experience at selling industrial robots in China has given us industry expertise that is second-to-none. In China, our robots are on the production lines of some of the West’s biggest brands, and there is every chance you own a mobile phone that was assembled by an Inovance robot. We really do offer a robot for every application. Also, like many people in Europe, I am worried about climate change, and so I am very proud of our new MV33 motor and MD630 drive, two of the the most-energy efficient solutions on the market.”
