BRAKEMATIC® Brake Control
BRAKEMATIC® Brake Control Systems
The electrohydraulic brake control category features advanced BRAKEMATIC® solutions engineered for precise and efficient management of industrial braking systems. These systems are specifically designed for the automation of brake operations in demanding industrial environments, ensuring reliability, safety, and optimal performance in applications such as cranes, conveyors, and heavy-duty machinery.
Comprehensive Industrial Brake Control Solutions
BRAKEMATIC® brake control units offer flexible, programmable operation for a wide range of drum and disc electrohydraulic brakes. At the core of these systems is a frequency converter with integrated functional modules, including:
- Pedal interfaces for manual or electronic operation
- Internal or external parameterisation interfaces for easy configuration
- Process control module with integrated measuring sensors
The programmable frequency converter enables precise adjustment of the hydraulic force delivered by the electrohydraulic thruster, allowing for sensitive modulation of braking force. This ensures consistent stopping accuracy, supports safety-critical processes, and reduces wear on mechanical components.
Key Functions and Capabilities
- Pedal Control: Enables fine electronic adjustment and analog control for braking, ideal for sensitive stopping in travelling and rotational movements.
- Ramp Function: Allows execution of pre-set braking torque profiles for controlled opening and closing cycles.
- Advance Control: Supports variable parameter specifications for adaptable and precise brake control profiles, suitable for complex conveyor systems or advanced braking requirements like ABS.
These features contribute to an efficient and programmable brake actuation control system that can operate several brakes simultaneously, provided that all brake types and operating modes are coordinated according to the selected system specifications.
System Integration and Application
All BRAKEMATIC® units are expertly matched and pre-configured to the specific needs of the application by the manufacturer. Typical fields of use include industrial material handling, production lines, and automated safety systems. When selecting a solution, it is crucial to consider load requirements, compatibility with ELDRO® units, and the need for precise, programmable operation.
Frequency converter brake control and industrial braking automation systems from this category offer the advantage of seamless integration, reliable performance, and the adaptability needed in modern production and logistics facilities. Installation and set-up are supported by detailed circuit diagrams and operating manuals supplied with each system.
