Yaskawa Engineering (EEU) has an agreement with the Russian automation and systems integrator Rakurs to deliver service to the Russian market.
The Rakurs Certified Diagnostic and Repair Centre in St Petersburg was set up to service Omron and Yaskawa equipment in Russia.
The centre services and repairs the entire range of inverters.
Rakurs is extremely well qualified not only to effective repairs and refurbishment of motors and drives to Yaskawa's exacting quality standards, but can also take on re-engineering projects and process improvements on behalf of Yaskawa users in the country.
Rakurs is a well respected and highly competent systems house that undertakes major automation projects in the likes of the paper and board industry, chemical processing and many other manufacturing sectors.
It was started in 1991 by a team of engineers rooted in the automation and electronic engineering fields.
From the beginning the company specialised in designing control systems used in industrial processes.
There are now over 150 engineers and office staff based at Rakurs headquarters in St Petersburg, and in regional branches of Rakurs all over Russia.
According to Alexander Tikhomirov, Service Manager at Rakurs, his company believes in "performing quickly and efficiently, giving customers the highest quality achievable, delivering a turnkey product".
At the same time, he explained: "We also must be ready to provide long-term support, maintenance and diagnostic services: in short, solving our customers' problems".
In September 2002 Rakurs passed a certified audit, which attested that its quality management system fully conformed to the requirements of the ISO9001:2000 standard.
Apart from its systems ands service operations, since 1992 Rakurs has also been a distributor for Omron products in the region, including, of course the Omron Yaskawa Motion Control drives and motors.
Established in 1994, the Rakurs Authorised Training Centre trains specialists who will be operating and maintaining control systems and automation equipment, based on Omron products.
The centre is a joint venture with Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University.
Rakurs staff trained by Omron as well as University personnel provides instruction.
