Heavy Equipment Manufacturing

Project Goal: Develop an electrical retrofit kit for a MAAG gear shaper to replace the 75-HP DC motor and motor/generator set, and the obsolete controls.

NOVA Solution: A 100-HP AC motor specially designed by NOVA was integrated with an AC vector drive to replace the MG set. The new control system, made up of readily available, off-the-shelf equipment, was developed using a servo controller and a PLC sharing data over a VME backplane.
