IDEC's ez-Wheel® SWD® Safety Wheel Drive is designed to revolutionize the way powered motion is integrated into industrial mobile platforms. This all-in-one solution combines a wheel, gearbox, motor, safety encoder, and safety drive into a single, compact, and maintenance-free unit, making it the ideal choice for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and other mobile platforms.
Key Features and Benefits:
Simplified Design, Enhanced Performance: The SWD® system reduces the number of components by up to 50%, eliminating the need for separate wheels, gearboxes, motors, encoders, and controllers. This efficient design not only cuts engineering time but also simplifies certification and reduces installation costs.
High-Powered Versatility: Choose from two models – the SWD® 125, designed for light to medium-duty applications (up to 250kg vertical load), and the SWD® 150, built for heavy-duty applications (up to 700kg vertical load). Both models are housed in a rugged, shockproof IP66-rated casing, ensuring long-lasting durability even in harsh environments.
Enhanced Safety Standards: The SWD® system complies with ISO 3691-4 standards for AGV/AMR safety, incorporating features like Safe Brake Control (SBC), Safely Limited Speed (SLS), Safe Direction (SDI), and SIL3/PLe safe motor disconnection (STO) to protect both operators and equipment.
Effortless Integration: With our pre-configured development and starter kits, integrating the SWD® into your system is quicker and simpler than ever. Each kit includes everything you need, from SWD® Cores to safety laser scanners, battery packs, and more, ensuring a smooth setup from the start.
