TK516 ABB module

　　NEW BERLIN, WI, July 19, 2007 - ABB’s ACS350 general machinery drives are designed and built to make it extremely easy for volume machine builders to increase average throughput time via an average two-second programming time per unit. ABB has just extended ratings of the drives to 15 HP, at 480 volts. The units are ideal for a wide range of machinery applications in the food processing, material handling, HVAC (pumps and fans), textiles, printing, rubber and plastics, and woodworking industries. “This is more horsepower in the existing R3 frame drive that offers extremely fast replication of parameter sets across units, and very competitive pricing,” said Michael Mikolajczak, product line manager for the ACS350 drive line. The R0-R3 frame drives also accommodate easy, repeatable installation, with unified height and depth across the horsepower range, he said. “All that varies as the horsepower increases is that the drives get slightly wider,” he noted. Innovative features packaged into ABB's extended ACS350 general machinery drives family all are designed to minimize installation and commissioning time and cost; these features include:
