What is a frequency converter and what is it required for? The introduction of frequency converters into industrial plants began in the early 1970s. Until then, it was only possible to operate electric motors directly on the grid and thus at defined speeds. If an electric motor, e.g. an asynchronous machine, is operated directly on the grid (50Hz), a fixed speed is set, known as the nominal speed, based on the grid frequency and the pole number of the motor. In the past, where different speeds were required due to the application, mechanical gears were used. Some readers may remember what was known as the “delta changeover”. This was used to limit the power of the motor at the moment it is switched on in the case of directly operated motors. What do variable motor speeds have in common with energy savings? The option of continuously adjusting the motor speed […]

The Dutch manufacturer of industrial sawing machines, Harwi, is known for the durability, quality and user-friendliness of its products. To increase its own productivity and simplify assembly, Harwi opted for tailored cable assemblies from LAPP. This saves the machine manufacturer four hours per constructed machine, which sums up to an additional machine every two to three weeks. In addition, the installation of the sawing machines on site has been noticeably simplified and the risk of incorrect cabling is reduced. Safety, ergonomics and health – these are Harwi’s current development goals for the industrial sawing machines they have been constructing since 1960. The company from Helmond in the Netherlands is also known for its extremely durable products: “We know that there are Harwi sawing machines that have been in use since my birth, i.e. for over 35 or 40 years,” says Adrian van Mensvoort, Managing Director of Harwi. Three years ago, […]
Originally, the North German family-run company Thomas GmbH + Co. Technik + Innovation KG produced bedroom furniture. However, as supplied glass fibre strips do not meet the high requirements, the company manufactures its own pultrusion machines for itself and other companies. The latest and particularly innovative pullCUBE machine incorporates assembled cable chain systems from LAPP – a guarantee of the desired robustness, quality, and durability. Managing Director Boris Thomas demonstrates the pullCUBE pultrusion system In 1981 even Udo Lindenberg sang the song “Sandmännchen” from the “Schlafbehörde” in Bremervörde. This meant Thomas GmbH + Co. Technik + Innovation KG (TTI): The North German family-run company made its international breakthrough in 1956 with the invention of the slatted frame, leading it to prominence in pop culture. The approach to rock music fits in with TTI: “Rebellion against the status quo is part of the family’s blood, and from this comes a drive […]
