25% uptime improvement
17 April 2013
Designer and manufacturer of connect and control solutions for the plumbing and heating industry, Pegler Yorkshire, has invested heavily in its manufacturing facilities resulting in shorter lead times, improved response and reduced costs.
A recent upgrade involved replacing the drive system of a cold forging press. Optima Control Solutions came up with a turnkey solution to integrate into the existing control system.
A new AC motor from TECC replaced an obsolete DC motor and new AC drives from Parker Hannifin were configured to use existing control signals to operate the press in the same way as the existing drives.
The control system design is compliant with the latest EN60204-1, EN954-1 safety standards and the EN61800-3 EMC Product Standard. Upgrading to the new AC motor and control system realised a 25% uplift in availability, resulting in significantly increased production output.
