Service & Maintenance Contracts
15th September 2011
One of our major maintenance contracts is in a large petrochemical refinery with a huge amount of drives and controls.
Feedback, with the first year almost complete, is very positive. The servicing prevented any drives from failing all year and the piece of mind of having an engineer on standby has been invaluable.
Other clients have just had the service contract and found that instances of breakdowns improved dramatically.
Some just have the guaranteed callout, a number of these have been so impressed with our service and how quickly we got production running again that they added servicing to future contracts.
Bungee Ride Control System
20th July 2011
We built a control system for the moving targets on a military firing range.
Designed to withstand tank and helicopter fire and being pulled over rugged terrain, the inverters had to be high capacity to run the motors.
Bungee Ride Control System
14th June 2011
We were asked to completely overhaul the control system for a bungee fairground ride.
The new system reduces the amount of start up current required for the motors, allowing the operator to use a smaller, more envirmentally friendly generator.
Another benefit of the reduced start up current is that existing lighting rig can be replaced with more efficient sodium lamps. They couldn't previously be used due to the direct-on-line motors' shock loading the system.
Saftey System Overhaul
18th May 2011
When safety measures fail there can be grave consequences. Luckily our client escaped unscathed.
The existing system uses limit switches, however they became clogged as they are used in a dusty enviroment and didn't follow the gate when it opened.
We were contacted to install a new system. We installed an interlocked key system so that gate can only be open with the key that runs the lift. As it is interlocked, the key can't be removed from either the gate or the control panel when in operation, preventing both from being used simultaneously.
