Service 03 of 07 · Drive & Motion Engineering

The difference between a drive that's installed and one that's tuned is your cycle time.

Sizing, integration and tuning of VFDs and servo motion.

A drive bolted in and left on defaults will run — badly. It'll overshoot, hunt, trip on a fast decel, or quietly waste a third of its energy.

We size the drive and motor to the actual load and duty, build the motion profile around your cycle, and tune it on the real machine. The result is faster cycles, accurate positioning, and drives that don't nuisance-trip.

Where it makes sense, we'll also show you the energy case — regeneration, right-sizing, and standby — which on a multi-drive line often pays for the work.

Stage by stage

What we actually do

01

Size

We calculate the real load, duty and inertia and select drive and motor accordingly — not from a catalogue guess.

02

Profile

Motion profiles built around your cycle time and accuracy needs.

03

Tune

On-machine tuning of loops and limits until motion is fast, accurate and stable.

04

Verify

Cycle time, positioning and energy measured and signed off against target.
