January 2025
Motion Control & Drives
As automation continues to transform industries worldwide, Invertek Drives, a global leader in variable frequency drive (VFD) technology, was at SPS Nuremberg, showcasing the critical role of VFDs in maximising efficiency and performance. VFDs are essential components in modern automation systems, enabling precise motor control and optimisation for a wide range of applications across diverse sectors, including manufacturing, HVAC, water treatment and materials handling. Rhydian Welson, Invertek Drives sales and marketing director, said: “In today’s competitive landscape, businesses face increasing pressure to optimise processes, reduce energy consumption, and minimise operational costs. Our Optidrive VFDs address these challenges by providing precise motor control, leading to significant energy savings and improved process efficiency.”
By precisely matching motor speed to application demands, Optidrive VFDs minimise energy waste, and reduce wear and tear on equipment, contributing to a lower total cost of ownership. This is achieved through advanced motor control algorithms that optimise performance and efficiency in various applications, from simple pumps and fans to complex conveyor systems and industrial machinery.
The intuitive user interface simplifies setup and commissioning, reducing downtime and ensuring quick installation. This ease of use is complemented by a robust design that guarantees reliable operation even in harsh industrial environments, ensuring consistent performance, and minimising maintenance needs. Furthermore, Optidrive VFDs offer comprehensive communication options, enabling seamless integration with a wide range of automation systems and protocols. This allows for effortless connectivity and data exchange, facilitating streamlined operations and improved overall system efficiency.
