At Baldor UK Ltd, a division of Baldor Electric Co., we provide advanced, high quality motion control products for diverse industrial applications. Our capability and product range includes industrial electric motors, drives, multi-axis motion controllers, intelligent servo drives, servo motors and linear motors. Our motion controllers and servo drives utilise the Mint programming language, designed by Baldor, to ease application integration - simply and efficiently.

INDUSTRIAL MOTORS AND DRIVES

We offer a wide range of motors and drives to cater for diverse customer needs. Our primary products are industrial AC and DC electric motors, ranging in power from 0.015kW (1/50hp) to 1100kW (1500hp). Our 'Super-E' motors are optimised for efficiency, ensuring the lowest operating costs for the customer. We also offer broad lines of brake-motors, explosion-proof, C-face, pump-motors and gear-motors to provide solutions for any purpose or environment.

Baldor's specialist, 'definite purpose' motors are customised for use in distinct industries and environments. This range includes:

• Washdown duty motors for food processing and wet environments

• Heavy-duty, cast iron motors for mills and harsh processing environments

• Dirty duty, quarry duty, crusher duty, explosion-proof and vertical-shaft pump motors.

Baldor can offer custom motors to meet specific requirements. Custom motors are manufactured to the shortest lead times in the industry.

The adjustable speed drives range includes AC inverters and vector controls, DC SCR controls, servos and positioning products. For optimal performance, we offer 'matched performance' capability; matching motor and control packages to suit the customer's needs.

MOTION CONTROL SOLUTIONS

Board level and fully packaged motion controllers are available. The motion controllers can be configured for multi-axis servo and stepper applications. Onboard I/O can be used to provide machine control in many applications, removing the need for an external PLC. The I/O is easily expanded using the controllers onboard CAN expansion capability. All of our motion controllers, and intelligent servo drives, are programmable in Baldor’s easy to use motion language, Mint.

Our range of servo drives utilize the same commissioning interface as our motion controllers, offering ease of use. Available in ‘simple’ drive configurations, through to fully programmable drives, our range of servo drives fully complement our servo and linear motors.

Baldor offers a range of servo motors to suit many applications, including our new stainless steel servo motors for harsh washdown environments. We offer a complete range of linear motors and stages in servo, stepper and induction motor technologies.

MINT MOTION CONTROL PROGRAMMING AND SOFTWARE

Mint was originated by Baldor UK and has grown to become the industry standard in motion control software with ten’s of thousands of installations worldwide. Mint provides an advanced programming environment, simplifying motion control through high-level commands for sophisticated applications. Mint is a Basic like programming language that will be immediately familiar to many engineers. Mint's multi-tasking capabilities allow complex applications to be easily broken down in manageable pieces.
