In an interview - Managing Director Uwe Lorenz and Markus Weishaar, Head of IIoT & Services at Dunkermotoren.

Mr. Lorenz, Dunkermotoren announced great news on October 11, 2021 and introduced its new brand nexofox. What does this mean for Dunkermotoren?

For Dunkermotoren, this is the first presence trade fair in Europe in which the drive technology manufacturer will participate in 2021. In hall 1 at booth A32, Dunkermotoren will exhibit for the first time together with its subsidiary EGS Automation and its sister company MAE.

Stepper motors are currently experiencing a true renaissance. Many still think of Far East products that are more noticeable for their typical noise than for their performance. Yet sophisticated stepper motor controllers nowadays not only compensate for the supposed weaknesses.

There is now no way around real-time capable machine communication via industrial Ethernet. Dunkermotoren recognized this early on and expanded its BG series to include the PROFINET and EtherCAT interfaces. This year, Ethernet/IP will be added as a third interface in order to integrate the motors even more flexibly into different bus environments.

On October 07, Dunkermotorens webinars will start into the second round. The webinar series "Experience Dunkermotorens Drives" will be kicked off by Michael Basler, Key Account Manager Industrial Automation on the topic of "Drive Solutions for Mobile Intralogistics Solutions".

In the past, the growth curve in the intralogistics sector knew only one direction. Year after year increasing growth rates could be communicated. This is not likely to change in the foreseeable future. The extent to which the Covid-19 crisis will give this trend a further boost cannot yet be estimated. It will definitely influence the market and possibly create new sales markets.

From the first idea to the first usage at customer’s applications.

It was during the first lockdown in April 2020 when one of the MAE’s engineers was sitting at home in Germany and following the news reporting the dramatic situation in Italy’s hospitals. They were showing the lack of respirator system used to treat the corona patients.

Just in time for the second half of 2021, Dunkermotoren publishes its new main catalog for the year 2021/22. The new catalog includes for the first time the BG 66 and BG 75 series with integrated dPro controllers of the latest generation with numerous new features.

After the GR 80 series had already been optimized in 2019, the GR 42, GR 53 and GR 63 series will follow, which will offer up to 10% more continuous torque and a more corrosion-resistant surface. In Dunkermotoren's case, the designation GR stands for brushed DC motors with permanent magnetic excitation.

The beginning of June marks the start of an extensive webinar program from Dunkermotoren.

On June 02, the first topic block "With Dunkermotoren to the Smart Factory" will start. Michael Burgert, Product Manager for BLDC motors will give an introductory training on the topic of smart motors and present Dunkermotoren's portfolio in the field of brushless DC motors.
