:: Senior Engineer Bill Alexander shows off a 1750hp DC Motor during a coal mine startup. Bill designed, tested, and commissioned the 1750hp DC Drive and control system used for control of the slope conveyor at this east coast facility.

:: A large baghouse facility midway through the retrofit process. Our PC-based control system evolved with the installation and provided uninterrupted service as new sections were bought on line. The system includes hundreds of analog and digital I/O points and provides single point control. EPA reports are automatically generated and customer can review historical trends of pressures, temperatures, and cleaning cycles.

:: The main control screen for a bottomer used for the manufacture of multi-ply bags. Prior to the implementation of this control system the machine setup time was app. 5 hours. By automating and saving setups the setup can now be accomplished in a fraction of the time.

:: We supply system analysis and calculations in a variety of applications. We can evaluate power distribution systems for load distribution, distortion level predictions, and short circuit calculations.

:: Control systems can be small closed-loop or open-loop processes or large-scale manufacturing lines. Our drafting department supplies complete documentation in a variety of CAD and graphic formats. We fully detail all system components and provide replacement parts lists and instruction manuals to suit the customer's needs long after the installation is complete.

:: We can supply control panels of any size or configuration. This small sub-panel is part of a PC-based control system. The system uses standard PLC I/O supplied by AutomationDirect.com. We design, build and test our control panels to high quality standards.

:: This control screen is used in ground-level skydiving training facilities. The operator has complete control and visibility of the main drives and can communicate with the student through a single interface. A joystick, for speed control, compliments the computer touch-screen, while a student flies in a vertical air stream. The system communicates via Modbus with 5 variable frequency drives supplied by Saftronics, Inc. The system tracks operator login/logouts, alarm history, and provides extensive data collection for tracking of KW usage, Wind Speeds, etc. Screens are customized by interfacing with the customer during the design and programming process to provide optimum operator comfort, visibility, and efficiency.
