NEWS RELEASE
Automation Controls Group Releases the Intelibrake™ System
March 1, 2016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Milwaukee, WI – Automation Controls Group (ACG) The Intelibrake™ System combines a UniDrive® Brushless DC motor with a friction brake, installed on the back of the motor housing, that can be used to hold the motor shaft after the motor has stopped running. It is an excellent choice for automated handling systems requiring the ability to hold packages in place on an incline or decline when the motor is stopped.
The motor rotating output from the ACG UniDrive® BMC-2 Control (ACG Part Number 110163) can be used to operate the brake or a customer-supplied PLC. When the BMC-2 control starts the motor, the BMC-2 control applies 24VDC to the brake control wire and the brake then disengages.
When the BMC-2 control stops the motor, the control removes 24VDC from the brake control wire and the brake engages and holds the motor shaft.
Founded in 1995, Automation Controls Group (ACG) provides custom process control and automation solutions to system integrators and original equipment (OEMs) with volume requirements. We specialize in combining our proprietary line of DC motors, motor drives, controls and/or application-specific solutions to address customer challenges in the areas of temperature, speed, usage requirements, etc. ACG is headquartered in Milwaukee, WI.
