Digital Veneer Line
Our veneer line systems use Allen-Bradley
1395 digital armature regenerative drives which with the use of digital quadrature
encoders allow the system to maintain velocity to .01% of commanded speed.
These in conjunction with an AB 5/40 processor which controls all system logic
sequencing and calculates system motor speed requirements gives you a totally
digital system with comprehensive tuning and fault detection ability. Unlike
most analog or "quasi-digital" systems currently in place, which
may have as many as ten pots per drive converter 
and numerous pots in card rack, many
of which require continual adjustment to maintain the the system, there are
no potentiometers to be found in this system. The result is a true digital
system where all parameters are absolute values entered via handheld terminal
or computer interface. Our systems come with AB panelview operator interface’s
which allow for quick and easy tuning and maintence of the system. Our
drive diagnostics screen allows for you to see the status of the drives, or
the fault codes without the need to purchase a handheld programmer.
The
drive specs screen allows you to view
the status and speeds of all of the trays in the system and adjust speeds
and offsets easily
