Machinery Automation
Control Techniques' products and Drive
Centre network are designed to meet the needs
of businesses involved in Machinery Automation.

Lean drive solutions
Lean manufacturing processes demand smaller and
more flexible machines. These must be reliable, deliver
high speed operation and connect with other automation
equipment and IT networks. Meeting these demands are at
the heart of Control Techniques' drives range.
- Advanced control algorithms deliver superior motor performance
for high speed machine operation in open loop, closed loop and
motion control applications.
- Control Techniques drive installations are extremely
compact; this has resulted from our research into thermal
efficiency, the use of new composite materials, onboard safety
features and integrated programmable controllers.
- Industry standard programming languages enable the machines
functionality to be modified quickly and easily as new
products develop and manufacturing processes change.
- Software selectable operating modes and click-in option modules
allow the drive functionality to be customised at the point of
installation; this simplifies ordering and reduces stock and
spares holding.
Your intellectual property
Control Techniques drives allow you to
protect your intellectual property by preventing your competitors
and customers from accessing your application software.
Drives knowhow, where you need it
Control Techniques operates a global network
of subsidiary companies called Drive Centres which
are sited in industrial centres to provide sales, support
and consultancy services to drive users. Our drives
engineers have experience of thousands of different
applications and so can provide new insights
to improve your applications.
Complete range
Control Techniques offers a complete range of AC, DC and
servo drives for Machine Automation applications.
Over 20 different option module types allow drives
to be uniquely customised, adding programmable controllers,
I/O and connectivity to most fieldbus and Ethernet
protocols.
Machine security - on-board
On-board drive features increase machine security while reducing
the cost of implementing automation safety systems.
