R&R AUTOMATION
-
Automated bearing monitoring can save BIG $$.
-
Automated station controls feeder cabinet and roll motor which prohibits “over-amping” or waste of electrical power.
-
PC Compatible so mill can be operated by a single employee thereby decreasing human error and increasing productivity.
-
Control station allows for adaption for future areas of automation.
-
Provides automatic production and control updates. PLC provides for remote control.
-
Automated grease units eliminate human error and increase bearing life.
-
Safety issues are resolved because actual “Hands On” situations are decreased.
