WEG AUTOMATION IS NOW MANUFACTURING IN EUROPE WEG Automation Europe S.r.l. is the new company based in Italy, born from the acquisition of Gefran’s Drives and Motion Business Unit by the Brazilian WEG group in 2022. WEG Automation Europe is now part of the Automation Business Unit of the WEG Group and contributes to the market offering of WEG inverters for both industrial and residential lift applications. The product family for industrial applications consists of inverters for controlling AC motors and one-way regenerative AC/DC power supplies (AFE and FFE) for common DC bus solutions as well as converters for controlling DC motors. The inverters for AC motor control of both synchronous and asynchronous motors are called ADV200 and reach up to 1.8MW with 400Vac and 690Vac power supply. WEG Automation Europe has long-standing experience and expertise also in residential lift applications. The ADL500 represents the new generation of AC inverters for lift applications, certified to European standards EN81-20 and EN81-50, boasts a host of pioneering features including Safe Torque Off SIL3, Safe Brake Test (SBT) and the Safe Brake Control (SBC-SIL3) with EBC500 accessory, operators can check motor break status and avoid any unintentional movement. With the new Electronic Brake Control concept, the proposal of the ADL550 combined with the EBC500 accessory leads to an extension of the contactorless concept by further reducing contactors in switchgear. The added value is compliance with the EN81-20 / EN81-50 standards specific to the lift sector and STO and SBC safety certifications at SIL3 level.
