EMG BRAKEMATIC® is an innovative brake control system from EMG Automation GmbH that ensures the safe, load-independent and controlled braking of conveyor belts, cranes and ladle transfer trolleys.
Background
A power failure causes the conveyor belt to brake suddenly, which can result in serious damage such as material spillages and belt tears leading to lengthy downtimes, material losses and high costs.
EMG BRAKEMATIC® and EMG BRAKEMATIC® advance are solutions for these problems, guaranteeing the safe and controlled braking of your conveyor system in any situation.
The EMG BRAKEMATIC® system offers various control functions for electrohydraulic drum and disc brakes, including Pedal Control (P) and Ramp Function (R). The Advance function, also referred to as EMG BRAKEMATIC® Advance, is an electronic control with variable parameter settings designed to generate controlled braking torque curves. An integrated process controller continuously compares the setpoint with actual values, allowing the frequency inverter to adjust the EMG ELDRO® thruster's working frequency and regulate the braking process accordingly.
In summary, while the standard EMG BRAKEMATIC® system provides essential braking control functions, the EMG BRAKEMATIC® Advance offers enhanced capabilities for applications requiring precise and adaptable braking torque management.
Benefits of EMG BRAKEMATIC® at a glance
The EMG BRAKEMATIC® system provides a range of benefits that enhance braking precision and operational efficiency. It ensures controlled braking processes with defined time specifications, enabling consistent stopping times regardless of load variations or conveyor inclinations. This eliminates the need for intermediate bunkers in new conveyor systems and allows the even stopping of conveyor lines within predefined times. Additionally, the system offers the versatility to operate multiple brakes simultaneously.
These features make the EMG BRAKEMATIC® an ideal solution for applications in industries such as ports, where it is utilised in crane systems and container gantry cranes, and in raw material extraction, where it enhances the safety and reliability of heavy-duty machinery braking systems. The advanced control options, including Pedal Control, Ramp Function, and the EMG BRAKEMATIC® Advance module, further extend its functionality, providing precise braking control for complex industrial and vehicular applications.
