CONTROL
PANELS
We can design and build control panels to suit your specific requirements. We have a breath of experience in process and machine control and can tailor the design and component selection to best meet your specifications.
PLC, HMI
& SCADA
Many companies or maintenance departments have their preferences when it comes to PLC’s or SCADA systems. We have programmed or upgraded the following manufactures PLC systems: Siemens, AB/Rockwell, Omron, Mitsubishi, Schneider & Beckhoff. We have programmed or upgraded the following vendors SCADA Systems: Wonderware’s InTouch & System Platform (Archestra), WinCC, FT View & Ignition.
We have undertaken full upgrades migrating software from a manufacturers obsolete range or their newest series, or from one manufacturer to another. We carried out the full installation and rewire of 600 IO point systems over a 2day weekend shutdown period. We also offer full electrical upgrades, which typical involve, new PLC & HMI, new Control Panel and a Full rewire of the system giving the customer an additional 10-15 years hassle free use of their machine / system.
Benefits – Peace of mind that the new system will remove the risk of having to search for obsolescent parts and the worry that components could fail and risk days of downtime. A few days downtime is usually more costly than a full control panel and software upgrade.
MACHINE
SAFETY
We have completed multiple safety upgrades and provided consultation and the subsequent engineering & installation services for a range of systems. These include a full safety upgrade on a 400Ton Automatic Hydraulic Press with SIL 4, PL e Safety Rating. SIL (Safety Integrated Level) & PL (Performance Level)and a large end of line conveyor system with multiple zones of Light Curtains, Pull Chords, Guard Switches and the associated Upstream / Downstream Controls. We also have provided Integrated Safety or Motion Control Systems, using STO (Safe Torque Off), SLS (Safe Limited Speed – ‘Jog’ Speed) or SLT (Safe Limited Torque)
Benefits – Peace of mind that personnel are safe in their place of work and that the solution is the most cost-effective for the application and risk
MOTORS, VSD’s,
MOTION CONTROL
& ROBOTICS
We have significant Motion Control experience, whether they be simple DOL or Soft-started controls or Safety Integrated Servo controlled. We can also offer motion control solutions from a number of manufacturers as some companies do state their preferred manufacturer. We can offer the full range of robotic solutions from Yaskawa, the worlds largest drive & robotics manufacturer. Box Loading, Palletising, Pick & Place & Co-Bot applications.
Benefits – Precise motion control can hugely increase through-put, achieve better tolerances and reduce labour costs.
