A manufacturer of injection and blending systems for plastic augers came to Groschopp for help. They knew they needed a variety of motors that could run on either AC or DC voltages, but they weren’t sure which application requirements to focus on. Groschopp worked with the OEM to identify the top priority specifications for each of the motors, and fit them with both 90 VDC and 115 VAC parallel shaft gearmotors. Each of these had three different reducer sizes. Once the gear motor solutions were determined, Groschopp was able to achieve a 48-hour turnaround time for the proof of concept.
Challenges
- AC/DC voltages
- Short lead time
- Varying reducer sizes for multiple applications
Solution
- 90VDC or 115VAC motor with the same parallel shaft gearbox
- Three different size options
- 48-hour prototype for proof of concept
