Since its inception, IDEC has been at the forefront of providing automation components. The introduction of the SWD marks a continuation of their commitment to innovation in the mobile robotics sector. Their previous releases laid the groundwork for more integrated solutions, and the SWD builds upon that foundation by offering a more compact and efficient drive system.

How Does the SWD Ensure Robust Performance?

“The SWD features a shockproof housing rated IP66, which protects internal electronics, making it adaptable for a wide range of applications,”

said an IDEC spokesperson. The modular architecture allows for scalability, reducing engineering time and simplifying the certification process. This design enables designers to focus on higher-level control and human-machine interface requirements.

What Models Are Available and What Do They Offer?

The SWD is available in two models: the SWD 125 and SWD 150. The SWD 125 supports a vertical load of up to 250 kg, targeting applications up to a ton, while the SWD 150 handles up to 700 kg, suitable for heavier applications. Both models offer options with two gear ratios and can be equipped with or without a parking brake, providing flexibility for diverse operational needs.

How Does the SWD Enhance Safety in Mobile Robotics?

“Safety is a paramount concern, and the SWD complies with the ISO 3691-4 standard for mobile robot safety,”

explained IDEC. The SWD integrates safe brake control, safely limited speed, and safe direction functionalities when paired with other safety devices like laser scanners or bumper switches. With a SIL2/PLd rating and an integrated SIL3/PLe safe motor disconnection, the SWD prioritizes operational safety.

The SWD’s introduction aligns with IDEC’s strategic acquisition of ez-Wheel SAS, enhancing their capabilities in developing self-propelled wheels for material handling systems. This synergy is expected to reduce development time and provide sophisticated motion solutions for mobile robots across various industries. IDEC’s commitment to offering free technical support further underscores their dedication to customer satisfaction and product reliability.

IDEC’s SWD Safety Wheel Drive addresses the growing needs of the automation industry by providing an integrated, efficient, and safe solution for mobile robotics. By consolidating multiple components into a single system, the SWD simplifies the design process, reduces costs, and enhances performance. This development positions IDEC as a key player in advancing the capabilities of AGVs and AMRs.
