Below are application examples of some systems that we have designed. Please contact Carotron today for assistance with your application.
Eight Block Wire Draw Line
Below is an 8 block wire drawing control system that we designed for a customer. In this system, Blocks 1-4 are always enabled. Blocks 5-7 are optional and can be bypassed if not needed for a particular material style. Each block has a dancer compensator that is controlled by the DC drive.
Inspection Frame
The pictures below are from an inspection frame system. An operator inspects the material as it is unwound and then rewound. The system utilizes the Cortex LT controller along with loadcells to maintain tension. An ultrasonic sensor is used to measure the unwind diameter. This measurement is used in the Cortex LT to calculate the correct center driven unwind speed.
Fan Control with Soft Start Bypass
Below is a photo of a fan control system with an optional soft start bypass. In manual mode, the speed can be set by the door mounted keypad. In auto mode, the drive uses a pressure feedback sensor. The fan speed is automatically adjusted to maintain a desired air pressure. An emergency backup soft start option allows the fan motor to run directly from the AC power.
