Inverter driven test rigs simulate actual conditions. Test rigs often use variable speed drives and motors to closely simulate real life conditions to allow for testing of a variety of components and assemblies during all stages of product development and manufacture. Many are used in the automotive and aerospace industries, testing cars, motorcycles, […]
ABB regenerative drives give big payback on downhill conveyors. Using ABB regenerative AC drives fed 520,000 kW of power back into the mains and significantly reduced maintenance costs by improved control on two limestone conveyors used in cement making. Continuous raw material flow is important in cement making and when processing […]
