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.
