Whether on land or water - Lenord + Bauer technology is used the world over. Our sensors protect
rail transport around the globe, providing optimum wheel slide and skid protection, for instance -
regardless of whether it's U.S. streetcars, Swiss mountain railways or freight locomotives used
near the Arctic circle.
Turn to shipbuilding and you'll find our customized speed encoders working under the harshest
conditions - on marine pollution clearance vessels or icebreakers.
You can also rely on Lenord + Bauer when it comes to freight logistics: our controllers ensure
smooth motion sequences for transportation and storage systems.
Here you find some application examples!

The world's largest bottling plant
|
|
|
The task:
Up to 70,000 returnable bottles per hour has been filling up by the world's largest bottling
plant at the Bitburger brewery since 2004.
The plant bottles the beer at 192 filling stations - and can be readily reset to handle a range
of different bottle formats. Even at high number of cycles the bottles have to go trough the
bottling plant "in an orderly manner". |

Robot for pipeline maintenance
|
|
|
The task:
Pipelines carrying liquid raw materials over long distances are buried up to 800 meters deep.
Whether below ground or under water, the pipelines are exposed to severe stresses. A failure in one
of these pipelines would result in an environmental disaster. The weld seams and other potential
weak points are checked using robots which inspect the pipe wall from the inside using ultrasound.
These robots are equipped with small sensors to enable the exact position of any flaw to be
pinpointed. The pressures inside these pipelines are high, however, so sensors need to be
particularly rugged to operate in this environment. |

Creative sensor solutions for icebreaker
|
|
|
The task:
A redundant sensor system was needed for an icebreaker. The externally mounted electric drives
are housed in a gondola under the hull of the ship and are supplied by a mechanically decoupled
power unit located inside the ship. In these conditions, the sensor system is exposed to
temperature fluctuations, dirt and condensation as well as to extremely strong electromagnetic
fields. |
