The world’s first circular wave and tidal current test facility is using a package of ABB electrical and control equipment, including servo drives and low voltage variable-speed drives, to simulate energetic sea-states.
Siemens has supplied the world's biggest gearless conveyor drive system to the Cuajone Mine in Peru which is operated by the Mexican mining company, Southern Copper Corporation.
Nipun Sibal reminds us that, while we probably concentrated on subjects like speed and torque control in our supplement of twenty years ago, there's a lot more on offer from today's drives.
Rather than being viewed as a simple commodity, today’s integrated drive can help reduce costs, optimise operational efficiencies and maximise productivity. Andy Hodgson reports.
SEW Eurodrive’s Movigear mechatronic drive system combines high-efficiency gearing, motor and drive electronics in a single unit. We take a closer look at this decentralised drive product.
