DC Drive Retrofit Staves Off Downtime

One of our customers manufactures corrugated cardboard boxes. This control panel powers the main motor on a cardboard corrugating machine.

The customer understands the power of preventive maintenance and uses our field service technicians to retrofit a new DC drive into the box before the old ones develop problems. This avoid the costly emergency breakdown scenario.

Joey Fairchild, our field service tech in our Baton Rouge office, scheduled the retrofit for a holiday when the plant was closed. He installed the new drive, cleaned up the cabinet and the plant was good to go when the workers came back from the holiday.
