Case Study
Invertek has become a reference in the metallurgic industry
Problem
A complex process required accurate control of a range of motors involved in the complex metallurgic process.
Solution
The VFD technology allows the use of up to three acceleration and three deceleration ramps, with each being selected automatically as a function of speed within the complex process. The operator presets the speeds at which each of the ramps activates whilst additional flexibility is provided by allowing selection of independent acceleration and deceleration ramps via digital inputs. These specialist functions compliment the standard Optidrive P2 feature of providing 100 per cent motor torque down to 0.0Hz.

A Spanish company specialising in metallurgic treatments is using Invertek Drives Optidrive P2 VFDs in the process.

"This is a very important tool when you have to set up hundreds of drives and have a parameters list for the future," said the technical manager of the company installing the system. "In case of service requirements to any drive the technical support team are able to send replacement drives very quickly, pre-loaded with the full list of parameter settings. This is a very important requirement once the system becomes old and personnel forget the parameters that were originally set up."
Time is money and the metallurgic engineering companies are appreciating such benefits, knowing they have superb performance and reliability with a drive that puts them firmly in control of their processes.
