Retrofits

Technic can design a new control system to interface with your existing electrical devices or, for those with older systems that have obsolete or worn devices. Technic can design and build a new enclosure with all new devices.

Retrofit controls options:

• Touch Screen Operator Interface.
• PC Based Operator Interface
• HMI (Human Machine Interface) Monitor and control of all types of on-line off-line devices including Temperature, Solenoids, Rectifiers, Pumps, Filters etc.
• Fixed Time-way Software with skip selection and "fix mixed cycles"
• Random Loading Software for "Just in Time" production needs.

Technic offers many options when retrofitting a hoist.

Choose from the following:

• Positive rack and pinion drive system to replace friction drive thus eliminating “slipping past stations”
• Increase speeds to achieve greater production. Time studies are done to determine how the increase speed will improve production.
• Adding variable frequency drive controllers to provide smooth acceleration and deceleration especially desirable with higher travel speeds.
• Absolute rotary encoder or laser positioning systems for station location.
• Polypropylene belt lifting systems to replace chain or cable systems.
• End of lift barrel rotation systems.
• RF (Radio Frequency) manual control in place of fixed push button controls.
• Auto-Lubrication systems.

Technic can replace the existing Festoon Cable System with all new components.

For those with older systems that no longer want Festoon cables Technic can provide new E-Chain systems.
