A recent machine to go through our refurbishment program was a Consol Slitting Machine. The machine was fully stripped and repainted. All Rollers were recovered and refitted with new bearings. All pneumatics were also replaced.

Main drive was replaced with a Control Techniques AC vector drive and 2.2Kw AC Motor and the two rewind drives were replaced with two Control Techniques AC vector drives and two 2.2Kw along with Aston PO25 electromagnetic clutches, therefore providing totally independent rewind drive control.

This provided true vector control of the machine speed and true torque control for the rewinds. As using CT drives there was enough intelligence in them to negate the necessity of having a PLC.

Machine was also fitted with a new HMI and Ewon for remote access.
