MEGATREND ELECTRIFICATION: CUSTOMIZED ELECTRIC SOLUTIONS AT SENNEBOGEN

It has long been clear that electric solutions are on the rise in the mechanical engineering industry, because the current discussions about the consequences and causes of climate change is particularly centered around CO2 emissions, which are primarily caused by the combustion of fossil fuels. The technology drivers are not only the increasingly strict laws and requirements for large cities and conurbations, but also the market itself, which is making developments increasingly feasible due to the progressive maturity of technologies and the infrastructure required for them. SENNEBOGEN recognized the potential of the electrification of machines early on and has been implementing customer-specific electric solutions for more than 35 years. The current state-of-the-art technology has already resulted in a wide variety of different electric drive systems. Technologically, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, each customer has their own specific requirements, which are considered from an economic and technical perspective, and for which the solution has to be found that is perfectly tailored to the application.

SENNEBOGEN offers a wide range of solutions for wired machine concepts alone: Stationary electric machines are ideally suited for applications where the working area of the machine is clearly defined and limited to a certain area. For greater mobility on straight-line routes, the power can also be supplied via the superstructure or undercarriage via trailing cables or motorized cable reels.

A ceiling power supply is also suitable for machines that only work indoors. If short distances have to be covered outside the working area, a combination with a diesel powerpack often proves to be the ideal concept. It can be used to effectively bridge short distances without power supply – for maintenance, for example.
