Uhing Motion Drive® (UMD)

The intelligent control system for your linear motion

The Uhing Motion Drive® (UMD) is the pioneering combination of a classic Rolling Ring Drive and modern automation technology. Instead of mechanical reversal, a stepper motor with intelligent control takes over all functions: Traverse speed, change of direction, travel profiles - all digitally configurable via a user-friendly touch panel. Whether for standardised winding processes or complex positioning tasks: The Uhing Motion Drive can be flexibly adapted to any application - and ensures maximum precision, efficiency and repeat accuracy.

ANIMATION OF THE UHING MOTION DRIVE

 

The main product features of the UMD:

  • robust, reliable Rolling Ring Drive technology
  • all the advantages of the proven RG technology also apply to the Uhing Motion Drive®
  • mechanical compatibility with previous RG drives - they can be retrofitted
  • constant or variable speed - with constant shaft speed
  • freely definable travel programmes - Definable action points/reversal points
  • all components comply with industry standards
  • integration into the customer's machine control system possible
  • flexible adjustment
  • almost all special designs of the Rolling Ring Drive can be mapped

The additional product features of the UMD in winding technology:

  • a wide variety of spool types can be operated with one system: right-angled, bi-conical, single-sided conical, etc.
  • freely definable winding patterns
  • stored spool types
  • no need for calibration and test runs during winding operation - Status messages on operating status
  • multi-station systems are possible
  • mechanical synchronisation between winding shaft and "Uhing shaft"

How the Uhing Motion Drive works

At its core, the UMD system is based on a tried-and-tested Uhing Rolling Ring Drive, which is, however, fully electronically controlled:

  • The stepper motor adjusts the speed, pitch and position
  • the Siemens S7 controller processes all inputs and ensures precise signal processing
  • Touch operation allows simple, intuitive parameterisation

Optional: integration into the customer's control system is possible - the UMD can also be equipped with laser sensors for flange detection, for example. The system has a modular design and can be integrated into existing systems. The UMD is compatible with existing Uhing drives (mechanical conversions possible).

Product advantages: The Uhing difference

Langlebig

Durable

Based on the proven Uhing Rolling Ring technology: mechanically robust, low-wear and easy to service. All components are suitable for industrial use and designed for continuous operation.

Vielseitig

Versatile

Whether right-hand, left-hand, biconical or clockwise: The Uhing Motion Drive enables freely definable travel profiles, variable speeds and changing reversal points - even for non-standardised spool types.

Simpel

Simple

All parameters are entered directly on the touch panel. Fine adjustments can be made during operation at the touch of a button. Material and bobbin data can be saved as a recipe. Set-up is a one-off process.

Sicher

Safe

Internal status messages, safe release and reversal logic, clearly defined action points: The Uhing Motion Drive fulfils the highest process reliability requirements - even in sensitive industries.
