INTRODUCTION

• SEW-EURODRIVE is a manufacturer
of drive Technology Company.
• Founded in 1931 on June 13 by
Christian Pähr.
• High potential of the drive design
demand so that he decided to
acquire the rights from the
Obermoser AG a geared motor
company.
• After Christian Pähr died, Ernst
Wilhelm Blickle who is Christian
Pähr’s son-in-law took over as
managing director of the company.
• Company renamed as SEW-
EURODRIVE since 1971.
• Now is own by Rainer Blicker and
Jurgen Blicker.
• World leader in drive technology
and a pioneer in drive-based
automation, it had innovated the
first variable speed gearmotor.
• Early development of electronic
drives, some of the first
successful efforts to decentralize
control, and the first motor with
energy-efficient copper rotors.
• 16 production plants and 80
Drive Technology Centres in 51
countries.
• Employed more than 17,000
employees over the world and
nearly 600 crew are in research
and development.
• Malaysia is one of Sew-Eurodrive DTC (Drive Technology Centers)
country in the world and it started in 1986’s.
• 66 workers in Malaysia and 4 branches which are Johor, kuala Lumpur,
Penang, Kuching. Kota Kinabalu and Ipoh only have home based
salesman.
• Johor has been headquartered in Malaysia
• 44 crews, 21 and 23 are in office and production respectively.
• The new location area occupied was 105000 square feet.
• 5 types of gearbox, 2 types motor, and industrial gear unit and
frequency inverter.
• Malaysia majority market are local and minority are oversea.
GEARBOX
• increase torque while reducing
the speed
• Helical gear was used instead
of spur gear, better connection
between gear’s teeth.
• Slide orientation of the teeth
geometry, more surface contact
during rotation.
• 3 different stage gear
arrangement

Knocking sound
• By using the gear ratio formula, we can calculate dent on which wheel.
• Example a 2 stage gearbox 𝑛𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑜𝑛 = 66 𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑡ℎ, 𝑛𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑙 2 =
15 𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑡ℎ, 𝑛𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑓𝑡 5 = 14 𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑡ℎ , 𝑛𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑙 6 = 83𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑡ℎ,have detect knocking
sound, determine the location of the knocking sound.

Gear ratio =

Gear ratio set 1 gear = = 4.4

83
Gear ratio set 2 gear = = 5.928

• From the result, if one knocking sound hear after one rotation of the output
shaft we can assume that the dent locate at wheel. This is because the wheel
6 rotate one time pinshaft 5 and wheel 2 have to rotate almost 6 times.
• So if dent at pinsahft 5 or wheel 2 there are 6 knocking sound hear.
Service factor
• A ratio of the torque of the motor to the output torque.
• Important to the heavy-duty application.
• Make sure the gearbox not overload.
• According to theory, service factor >1 is in safety range but in realise the normal S.F is above 1.5.
𝑇𝑚
• S. F =
𝑇𝑜
Example
A customer needs to rotate a 10kg load with a 300mm distance by using 101 Nm gearmotor. What is the service factor?
𝑇𝑜 = 𝐹 × 𝐿
𝑇𝑜 = (10 ∗ 9.81) × 0.3
𝑇𝑜 = 29.43𝑁/𝑚
𝑇𝑚
𝑆. 𝐹 =
𝑇𝑜
101
𝑆. 𝐹 =
29.43
𝑆. 𝐹 = 3.4
So, from the calculation, the service factor is 3.4. For a light duty application S.F 3.4 means that is over. This is because when the conveyor is
stuck with something caused the conveyor jammed, the higher SF definitely can overcome the blocking force. So might cause the conveyor
broken or damaged. As a conclusion, SF has to be closer for light-duty application due to the motor will be tripped if there are something
stuck in the conveyor while SF have to be higher for heavy-duty application due to the fluctuating load caused the force distributed on the
conveyor not evenly.
Gearbox series

• There are 4 series gearbox assembly in Malaysia.

• R, F, K, S.
R Series
F Series
K Series
S Series
W Series
Mounting position for gearmotor
• Important issues for the gearmotor due to the lubricating oil filled.
• Different volume of lubricating oil required in different mounting.

• M1 mounting, the foot is fixed on the floor.

• M3 mounting is 180˚ different from M1.
• Inclined the gearmotor to the left side with an angle of 90 ˚ and the
foot is parallel to the wall which is M5 from the views back on the
motor.
• while inclined to the right side with an angle of 90 ˚ will be M6
mounting.
Shaft position
• For the output shaft position can be inline, parallel, right angle.
• For the in line output shaft only for R series, the parallel is for F series
and right angle for S, W, and K series.
• For the right angle can be left and right. So can differential the output
shaft, view from the behind of the motor and the output shaft is in left
hand side will be A position while the output shaft in the right side will
be B position.
Motor
• An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
• Electric motor operates through the interaction between the motor’s magnetic field and electrical
current in a copper wire winding to generate the force in the form of rotating of a shaft.
• Acknowledge the motor size from the standardized frame size.
• Malaysia SEW will imported motor spare part or a completed motor from Suzhou, China SEW. There
are DRE and DRS series motor in Malaysia.
• classified into 3 class.

• IE (international efficiency)
• For Malaysia IE1 motor is the standard and legal. As for the first world
country like China, USA, Singapore, Germany, and etc. All these
country, the lowest standard is IE3 motor and below will be a penalty.

Example
1)customer needs to transfer 2000Kg palm oil with speed of v=0.5m/s. The friction
coefficient is 𝞂 =0.02. What is a suitable motor recommend for the customer?

Power = F × v × 𝞂
Power = 2000 × 9.81 0.5 (0.02)
Power = 0.196KW
• So we can recommend the customer 0.25KW motor with the application with constant
force apply while 0.35KW motor with the application with fluctuating force apply.

• To prevent the overheating when a fluctuating force applies application, the 0.35KW motor is used.
• A customer needs to transfer 50000 kg of charcoal to a furnace with 1 km
distance from the port within 20 minutes. What is a suitable motor
recommend for the customer? The friction coefficient is 𝞂 =0.08.We
need to find out the rpm needed.
distance
Speed =
𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒
1000
Speed =
20 × 60
Speed = 0.83 𝑚/𝑠
Then find the power required.
Power = F × v × 𝞂
= 50000 × 9.81 0.83 (0.08)
Power = 32.57KW
So the customer is recommend to the 35 KW motor and above.
Terminal box position and cable entry
• 4 position for motor terminal box and cable entry.
• The position of the motor terminal box has been specified with 0˚, 90,
180, and 270.
Inverter
• An inverter is a current converter electronic device it change the AC
(alternative current) to DC (direct current).
• control the frequency and voltage that desired.
• Inverter also known as decentralizing frequency inverter, it is very
convenient for the control compare to centralize system.
• Decentralize system a machine is control by a computer and can program
a machine via PLC (program logic control). Moreover, digital cable are
required to connect between computer and machine. On the contrary, a
centralize system with a lot of wiring connect to the machine and
connect with one control panel.
• 10 types of inverter in SEW-EURODRIV, MOVITRAC LTPB and LTE B+ are
normal types. Others 8 types are special so basically is expansive and
hard to sell.
• For the MOVITRAC LTPB that we done tested and realized that the
temperature inside the inverter over 45˚c the cooling fan will turn on
automatically and below 40 ˚c will turn off automatically. This inverter
can sustain to 60 ˚c after the current will cut off.
• In a three phase circuit, there are 2 types of connection for inverter. One
is known as Star Connection, and the other one is Delta Connection.
• The terminals of the three branches are connected to a common point is
known as Star Connection. The three branches of the network are
connected in such a way that it forms a closed loop known as Delta
Connection.
Servomotor
• A servomotor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for
precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration.
Thus severmotor is very high efficiency and accuracy motor.
Encoder
• An encoder is a device function as constant the speed. Encoder is
normally connected to a motor and inverter. When the encoder
receives the signal from the inverter, its response to the motor.
Encoders are widely used in industrial motor control applications such
as servo drives, robotics, machine tools, printing machines, textile
machines, and elevators.
Nameplate overview
• Nameplate of a gearmotor act as an identification. The information
above is showing the serial number of the gearmotor and specification
of the gearmotor. Every gearmotor has a specified nameplate.
SALE DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW
Quotation
• Quotation is an action that quote price to the
customer after the salesman receives the
order from the customer.
• Quotation is based on 5 different categories
of customer.
End user OEM Trader Distributor Engineer

-customer who - customer who is -customer that will -customer who are -customer that
ultimately uses a machine maker sell again to their buying a huge provide a solution
machine customer quantity by using gearmotor
to their customer.
Sale order process
• This process continues after the
quotation is send to the customer. Sale
order SO is a process to create an order
and check again the availability of the
stock.
Capacity planning process
• This process as a production planner.
• Arrange the order schedule and keep in touch
with the production and make the production
line smooth.
• Two systems use to progress which is SAP and
CRM.
• Able to release the advance order from the SAP
system, but she needs to amend the assembly
start date in the transaction CO03 because the
workload and delivery are monitoring by the
capacity planning software.
• Issue the picklist for spare parts and print the
AO (assembly order).
• Make sure the good have to delivery to
customer on require date or before.
• If there are any special case occurs, for an
urgent customer, Rebecca will ask production
first. For the changing case, customer has two
days to reconsider the specification since the
AO release.
Material Management Process
• Material management process plays a role of the
purchaser. The job scope is to purchase the spare
part, completed gearbox or motor, electronic
component and missing part.
• This process continues with the sale order if stock is
not available.
• Stock is not available will check with Singapore if not
then only order from Tian Jin, Suzhou, or Germany.
Logistic
• Logistic is the process to receive and release the goods.
• The only system used for this process is SAP system.
• Logistic have to monitor the transportation of the goods.
Recommendation
1) 5S system can apply to the assembly production area. 5S is a system for
organizing spaces so work can be performed efficiently, effectively, and
safely. This system focuses on putting everything where it belongs and
keeping the workplace clean, which makes it easier for people to do their
jobs without wasting time or risking injury.
• Sort
Separate out the thing that need for the work and which can be
removed. Everything that is not used to complete a work process
should leave the work area. A red tag attach for a tool for not
frequently used. Red tag method is usually a cardboard tag or stickers
that can attach to the item with the information.
• Set in order
Ensure that all items are organized and each item has a designated
place. Organize all the items left in the workplace in a logical way so
they make tasks easier for workers to complete. This often involves
placing items in ergonomic locations where people will not need to
bend or make extra movements to reach them.
• Shine
Scrub all the equipment, machine, tools, work area means cleaning and
maintaining the organized workspace.
• Standardize
To create a system to maintain 5S daily. These system can involve
schedules, charts, lists, etc.
• Sustain
Follow the systematic system every day and make it a habit means the
previous four S's must be continued over time.
2) One of the 5S is importance to the production area which is set in
order. According to the 5S, all the tools and equipment placed in an
organize region. For the pick park trolley and pallet jet that I recommend
designing an area with line marking as a parking lot. It can make sure
never wasting time to find a trolley or pallet jet when needed.
3) Packing area that recommend arrange according to 5S system.
Packing area is messy and all the tool just place whatever they want.
Also, the boundary line applies to the work and place everything in
their location.
4) Forklift is one of the hazards that causes injury, so that I recommend a
pathway with line marking for forklift. It can be a guide for the driver to
drive within the way and crews walk outside the way. Thus, can decrease
the statistic of injury and more safety.
