Approach: Reduce energy consumption and same time increase the benefits
Electric drives offer technologically advanced possibilities compared to purely hydraulic drives. In many applications, new or extended functions can be realized, which increase the benefits for the machine user.
Use of our VirtualSensor technology
In the field of stationary production machines, ARADEX customers have been successfully using VirtualSensor technology for many years.

Thanks to the PLC functionality integrated in our VECTOPOWER inverters and the FPGA-based control technology, we can now also use this advantageous technology for mobile applications.
This technology is particularly advantageous for drilling processes in non-homogeneous materials (earth, rock…):
- Optimization of the feed speed depending on the material properties in real time
- Detection of tool wear and reduction of the risk of tool damage through quick stop.
Further fields of application
This technology can be used just as advantageously in other machining processes, such as milling, cutting, shredding, etc.
