Drive technology, drive automation, system integration and drive engineering. services: These four perfectly matched performance areas form the basis 32 What we offer

Due to its modular concept, the product range of SEW-EURODRIVE offers millions of application options. Fine adaptation of the individual components creates drive units that are always configured precisely and matched perfectly to any requirement. Our product and system solutions are divided into the following groups:

Drive technology Components that set things in motion: From gear units and motors to frequency inverters and multi-axis servo inverters.

Drive automation Product combinations and software solutions from the SEW-EURODRIVE modular system that automate a complete system or parts thereof.

System integration All required components and subsystems are integrated in one overall system. The result is a turnkey solution for the customer. 33

Thinking in terms of solutions means to combine individual modules in such a way that they boost movement, wherever needed. 34 What we offer

Our idea of services can be explained in one word: Proximity

When it comes to the optimal drive solution, not all requirements that come up during the product according to the requirements. And since only the product is crucial, but also the people life cycle: From project planning to complete perfect service is also a question of speed, behind it.
