Synchroflex Inverter Drive System

All Sheppee International Drive Systems are purpose-designed and incorporate the latest in inverter drive technology.

Sheppee International Ltd introduces the latest development to complement its long standing place in the market with drive system technology.

Synchroflex uses the very latest state of the art inverter technology, combined with its traditional and proven range of 'Relsysn' motors.

The heart of the system revolves around a new graphically based user interface system, employing touch-screen controls for easy and reliable use. The stored program is contained in the drives themselves. The user interface program runs from an industrial PC running under Windows 95™.

The icon-based programme is easy to use, as all operator functions are based on familiar production terms rather than bespoke engineering terminology. Alarms and warnings are clearly displayed. Engineering and commissioning settings are password protected. These areas permit maximum and minimum settings, machine mechanical gearing, electronic gearing, belt-stretch compensation and reduced section working.

Controls are mounted behind an acrylic viewing window, including the inverter parameter / operator displays, which clearly show functions such as output frequency, motor current, motor speed, motor voltage, temperature warnings, hours run and trip/ history records.
   
Traditional 3 wire reluctance synchronous motors (either 4 pole or 6 pole) are normally supplied. These class F insulated motors require no form of encoder feedback to maintain synchronous operation. This makes installation and maintenance very easy.

As a complement, ordinary asynchronous 'squirrel caged' motors with encoders can be used. This specification is normally reserved for large capacity systems.

Overall the system has 'near unity' power factor and consumes considerably less power compared to 'Selsyn' or other electromechanical systems.

A combination of options is available including, built in air conditioning, local isolators adjacent to each motor, locally operated start / stop / advance / retard controls, group operated controls and remote alarm displays.

Synchroflex Jnr. (single inverter drive system)
This system has been designed as a cost effective solution for the synchronisation of multi- axis production lines, using the same technology as Multi-Inverter system only using a single inverter to drive all axes.
