Review examples demonstrating our capabilities:
Frequency inverters improve the performance and energy efficiency of material handling systems by ensuring precise motor speed control, reducing wear, increasing safety, and enabling optimal energy utilization. They play a crucial role in ensuring smooth and efficient material flow across various industries.
Hoists and Cranes
Frequency inverters are widely used in hoists and cranes employed for lifting and moving heavy loads in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and ports. By regulating motor speed and acceleration, frequency inverters ensure precise positioning and smooth operation of lifting equipment. They also provide advanced safety features, such as overload protection, torque control, and anti-sway functionality.

Conveyor Systems
Frequency inverters are most commonly used in conveyor systems to control the speed of motors that power conveyor belts. By adjusting motor speed according to specific material handling requirements, frequency inverters ensure smooth and controlled movement of goods along the conveyor line. This enables efficient sorting, merging, diverting, and accumulation of materials.
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV)
AGVs are self-propelled vehicles used to transport goods in warehouses or manufacturing facilities. Frequency inverters play a crucial role in controlling the speed and acceleration of AGV motors to ensure precise and efficient material transport. Frequency inverters enable dynamic speed adjustment, path correction, smooth acceleration and deceleration, thereby improving overall AGV performance and maneuverability.
Pallet Stackers and Destackers
Frequency inverters are used in pallet stacking and destacking systems to control the speed and movement of robotic arms or machines used to stack or remove items from pallets. By adjusting motor speed according to specific load requirements, frequency inverters ensure precise and controlled movements, reducing the risk of product damage and increasing productivity.
Sorting and Distribution Systems
Frequency inverters are integrated into sorting and distribution systems, such as tilt tray sorters and cross-belt sorters, to regulate the speed of motors driving the sorting mechanisms. By precisely controlling motor speed, frequency inverters enable accurate sorting, diverting, and merging of products, thereby increasing throughput and operational efficiency.
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS)
ASRS utilize frequency inverters to control the movement of vertical lift modules, carousels, and other storage and retrieval mechanisms. Frequency inverters enable precise motor positioning, acceleration, and deceleration, allowing efficient storage and retrieval of materials while reducing the risk of collision or damage.
