Encoder tips to diagnose problems… BEFORE sending out for encoder repair service. If motion control is important to your production, then your encoder is one of the keys to your success. Encoders are exposed to shock, contaminants/oil, excess vibration, moisture, and high temperatures that regularly put their toughness to the...
A Programmable Logic Controller? What Is That? A programmable logic controller, or PLC for short, is the “brain” for your equipment’s relay control, motion control, industrial output, and output process control. It supports the communications for control and data acquisition for industrial automation and facility control applications....
Since the primary purpose of a VFD is precise SPEED CONTROL so that motor speeds can be ramped up and ramped down and the connected load can be maintained at the required speeds, which only utilizes the energy required. Knowing this, we wanted to breakdown the tangible and intangible...
Power supplies are the underpinning of any electronic system. In this article, I use industry research and my own long-time experience to present the five reasons that power supplies fail. It will also offer the necessary precautions that you, as design engineers, should take to...
Soft Starters are starting devices, used for the acceleration, deceleration, and protection of the three phase electrical induction motors through the controlling applied voltage to 3 phase motor. Induction motor is the most frequently used motor for industrial as well as domestic applications. mostly industrial motors are single phase or three-phase induction motor depends...
Is it sensible to pay for servo drive preventative maintenance on an old unit that seems to be working perfectly fine? Wouldn’t it better to simply let it run until it fails…and then have it repaired? For those facing the same dilemma with their older model...
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD / AC Drive / Servo) repair should start with checking the right connection of electric motor connections and drive terminal connections. Drive output which is Motor and drive input that is incoming power connections can be missed, installed loosely or wired...
The three key tenets of maintaining variable frequency drives—keeping them clean, dry, and with tight connections—are relatively simple. However, owners and facility managers need to implement regular preventative maintenance and inspection processes to make sure each requirement is met. 1.Keeping VFDs Clean : Most VFDs have side vents to allow...
A variable frequency drive (VFD) plays an important role in controlling the operation of an electrical motor. It helps you in controlling the speed of your motor by varying its frequency and voltage of the power supply. Controlling the speed of your motor with the help...
For an electrical motor to run smoothly and give you the best results, you need to make sure that it starts the right way. Giving too much or too little load to your motor while starting it will not give you the desired results, making the...
