Control & drive modernization
Nonwoven Technology
Your partner for control and drive modernization on nonwoven lines
Problems with
outdated control
and drive equipment
Availability of spare parts
The required original spare parts are often no longer available. Expensive and time-consuming individual modifications are required.
Extended line stops
Default risk
Electrical/electronic components reach the end of their life cycle much sooner than mechanical components.
Faults are becoming increasingly likely
Service and maintenance
Today’s service personnel often lack the know-how for former systems, and documentation is no longer up to date due to various modifications. Furthermore, remote assistance isn’t possible at all. Increased maintenance efforts for systems with DC drives (brush replacement).
Expensive maintenance and long system downtimes
Production adjustment and product change
Settings are usually made analogously and are often only possible when the machine is running.
More scrap during product changeover
Quality control is very difficult
Expansion options and system changes
Control interlocks are using hardware components and dedicated analogue components.
System changes are difficult or by complex modification only
Drive and control characteristics
Outdated drives and controls with analogue system components (e.g., for synchronization)
Reduced product quality due to low precision at synchronization and positioning
Increased energy losses (e.g. by braking via heating resistors or transmission by eddy current coupling)
Safety
Missing or outdated safety devices.
Lack of compliance with applicable laws or specifications
Low resolution of status messages, therefore time-consuming search for locking reason (e.g., with protective covers)
The Solution
Professional modernization
Advantages
Use of new and modern components
Very low risk of failure
High availability of spare parts
Fault diagnosis via remote access and remote diagnostics
Widely available service personnel for state-of-the-art control and drive systems
Short downtimes in the event of a fault
No maintenance required thanks to maintenance-free drive technology
Digital input of production parameters directly at the operators desk or if preferred remotely from an office (improved quality control)
Easy product changeover via recipes for repetition of production settings
Access to process data for analysis, optimization and error prevention
Reduced energy consumption thanks to modern drive components with regenerative characteristics
Maximum precision thanks to digital drive and positioning technologies
Modular design enables easy system modification or expansion
Designed in accordance with current safety and conformity regulations
Boost Efficiency for
your nonwoven line
Aging controls and drives create downtime risks, rising costs, and quality issues. With our expert modernization, your system becomes reliable, energy-efficient, and ready for the future.
