Servo technology intelligently simplified. The 9400 Servo Drives with an audible difference The click! will revolutionise the way you handle your systems and processes, making them simpler than ever before. Lenze now offers you a drive concept which combines efficiency, flexibility and precision in one clear-cut system. The modular structure enables the quick, individual configuration of every conceivable production process – while retaining Lenze’s famous quality. When will you be clicking? Lenze@Lenze.de L-force Your future is our drive Ice cool Solve the puzzle by working out how many ice cubes are in each glass. If you succeed and are lucky in the draw, you stand to win James Kakalios’ book “Physik der Superhelden” (“The Physics of Superheroes”). We will be giving away copies of this remarkable science book to the first ten people drawn who answered correctly. Send us your solution, together with your address, on a postcard or fax by 28 February 2007 at the latest. We hope you enjoy the quiz! Recourse to legal action is not permitted. The task Eddy Haderer, barkeeper at a wellknown ski hut in the Austrian Alps, has a problem. His regulars always love his creations, but as cocktail connoisseurs they have their own particular prefer- ences – especially when it comes to the amount of ice they take in their drinks. And, because in high season the same bunch always meets at the bar for Happy Hour from 5 o’clock in the afternoon, they have taken to challenging Eddy with something new each day. Today they have presented him with a diagram and some numbers. The question to which they demand an answer is: how many ice cubes should Eddy put into each glass? But hurry up Eddy, the group is thirsty and the ice is starting to melt in the cosy hut! Write the numbers 0 to 9 in the ten empty glasses, each number representing the number of ice cubes to be placed in each glass. Every glass is connected to at least one other glass by a line. And for each glass, Eddy is told the sum of all the ice cubes contained in the glasses connected to it. Competition Glass 0: 39, glass 1: 8, glass 2: 11, glass 3: 16, glass 4: 15, glass 5: 11, glass 6: 2, glass 7: 7, glass 8: 12, glass 9: 0 Author James Kakalios is a comic fan and has been professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Minnesota since 1988. In his book he describes how comic-strip heroes would have to be made if they were to perform their miraculous feats in the real world. How strong would Superman have to be to jump over a building in one go? Again and again he draws fascinating insights into physics from the world of comics – ranging all the way to quantum mechanics and string theory. 19 Fax reply +49 (0)5154 821 605 Lenze AG DriveIn Editorial Postfach 10 13 52 D-31763 Hameln Germany Company: Name: Street: Postcode/Town: Phone: Fax: E-mail: If you would like more information about the following articles, simply complete this form and return it to us. ò 9400 Servo Drives ò Power efficiency of electrical drives ò Mechatronic drive solutions ò Industrial PCs Please enter the solution to the quiz here:

Recently, people have succeeded in getting these versatile machines to perform more and more complex tasks. Our drive systems play a fundamental role in achieving the high level of automation we see today. KUKA has combined robots with a rotary table equipped with various tool holders. This enables different components to be manufactured flexibly on one machine without time-consuming refitting work. You can read more about the “Turnflex” system in our cover story which begins on page 8. Our collaboration with KUKA is an example of the changes taking place in the field of drive and automation technology. Instead of focusing on individual components, we are cooperating with our customers to concentrate more on complete solutions and the benefits they bring. Evidence of this development can be found in the fascinating technical applications which Falk Steuerungssysteme GmbH has created using our technology. By combining electrical engineering, electronics, software and a long-standing partnership, they have succeeded in achieving the precise simulation of galvanisation processes on a laboratory scale. You can read more about this on page 15. Editorial If you are able to build machines and systems for your customers which are more efficient in their use of energy, it will be of benefit to you as well. It can mean, for example, lower power supply ratings and reduced operating costs. And ultimately, efforts towards the conservation of resources are also a social obligation. The article on page 18 gives you an idea of just how easily that can sometimes be achieved. We are involved in the “Energy efficiency in drive technology” workgroup which has been organised by the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association (ZVEI), with which we aim to encourage others to use more economical motor systems. Life-cycle costs still receive too little attention when investments are made, and the long-term potential savings produced by reductions in power consumption are rarely taken advantage of. But it is a potential which we would like you to discover. Yours, Dr. Erhard Tellbüscher, Chief Executive Officer of Lenze AG 3
