Vascat S.A. has collaborated in the conception of the new generation of reel to sheet sheeter machines from a well-known Argentinian converting machine manufacturer. The main innovation of these new machines concerns to the using of synchronous torque motors for the cross cutter drive system. VASCAT has designed a customized frameless synchronous servomotor based on the MDD-SW 180 frame to be integrated directly to sheeter’s shaft. As a result of the former the customer has simplified the mechanical drive system as well as improved machine’s performances all with a very low noise operation. Vascat contributes value-added by providing to their customers customized solutions through close support along all sizing, design and implementation process.

We are glad to inform you about the actualization of MAC-QS series (high speed AC electric machines for dynamometers). As a result of our continuous product improving efforts we have introduced several changes on 250’s frame. The objectives of these modifications are the reduction of the rotor inertia and the improvement of machine performances at high speed operation (between 6,000 and 10,000 rpm). This results in a significantly low vibration levels, factor with relevant importance in the high speed dynamometers. The actualized motor datasheets are now available at our web site.

We are pleased to inform you about the new edition of the VASCAT Company General Catalogue. The main novelties introduced in this new catalogue are: MDD Division (Synchronous torque motors): New frame size MDD-S 315. MAC Division (Asynchronous servo motors): New frame size MAC-QI 280 and 355. MCC Division (DC motors): New frame size ID 280. This brochure also includes a specific section with the complete description of the main advantages and key benefits provided by VASCAT solutions in several applications, thanks to our large experience in wide range of industry sectors. You can directly download it the following link: CGV2011_EN.

Vascat S.A. has recently developed a customized frameless asynchronous servomotor based on the MAC-Q 160 series for double turret rewinding drive system. The most remarkable characteristic of this motor concerns to its special hollow shaft, which allows the gearless direct driving of the coil and thereby the simplification of the system mechanical design. As a result of the close collaboration between VASCAT and customer’s technical department, important space savings has been achieved and maintenance requirements have been substantially decreased. This is just another example about how Vascat can help their customers to improve their machine performances offering flexible variable speed motor solutions to fulfil the specific requirements of each application.

We are glad to inform you about the expansion of the VASCAT MAC series (asynchronous motors for inverter duty). In this regard, we have incorporated to QI series (servo motors with forced ventilation type IC06 / IP23) two new motor frame sizes, with shaft heights of 280 mm and 315mm respectively. With these new sizes, the MAC series extends its power range up to 1,200 kW, offering nominal torques up to 6,750 Nm. Like the rest the MAC motors, they have a very interesting power density, so they are suitable for applications in which high power and fast dynamic responses are required. Typical examples are: testing systems, rewinders, servopresses, among others. All information regarding these two new sizes will be available soon on our website.
