‘Inverters’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Same-day assembly extended to Nordbloc 1 motors from
Nord Drivesystems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Nord Gear has added a further production line at its Abingdon-based assembly and service facility, expanding its same-day assembly service to Nordbloc 1 series gear motors.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Frequency inverter range available up to 22kW from
Nord Drivesystems: "Nord Gear has announced that its SK 500E frequency inverter range is now fully available up to 22kW.".
In May 2009, we covered the news from Lenze
- take a look at Biscuit factory installs IP65 SMV inverters
which says: "Lenze partner Westin Drives has investigated and solved problems of inverter failure at a biscuit factory in Yorkshire, by changing to the IP65 enclosed SMV inverter.".
Take a look also at the news release from Jena Rotary Technology, Jena Tec releases WBSVH grinding head,
as well as Schaffner introduces FN 2200 filter range from Schaffner,
and WEG motors and generators maintain FPU reliability from WEG Electric Motors (UK).
