Optima are proud of our accreditation as an official Drives & Motion Integration partner for Siemens. This brings together Optima’s expertise in high-speed, complex variable speed drive and motion applications with one of the largest integrated automation providers in the UK. We are one of only 7 Authorised Siemens Motion & Drives Partners in the UK

Before accepting companies as partners, Siemens ensure that we must prove our capabilities. Only then do Siemens certify Optima according to rigorous, globally uniform standards, systematically supporting and enhancing us using the same criteria Siemens apply to the training of their own employees.

Optima have engineered drives and motion upgrades for over 20 years, being the first to use some of Siemens complex motion technologies in the UK such as cut-to-length rotary knife applications on Jagenberg sheeters.

With a certified Solution Partner, you can rely on comprehensive application and systems expertise, and a high level of project experience. That means that you minimize the risk of things not going according to plan. And you benefit from top-quality, future-proof, custom solutions that make a decisive contribution to the sustained improvement of your competitive position, thanks to the excellent industry knowledge of Partners such as ourselves.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Drive Technology from Optima

The innovative sinamics G220 variable frequency drive from Siemens not only helps reduce harmonics (Gary Wilcock) but is also a more sustainable drive choice. Let us explain.

The animation below shows the draft panel layouts for 8 drives using the G120 drives along with the required input and output reactors due to the long cable lengths involved for this installation. 

Shown on the right of the animation is the draft layout using the new G220 drives.

The new G220 drives, allow us to accommodate double the number of drives in one cabinet as no chokes are required.

SINAMICS G220 – the variable frequency drive for all industries

It has helped Optima Control Solutions Ltd make this a more sustainable design. 

Not only have we have reduced CO2 emissions in transit as the cabinet is lighter, we have also reduced the amount of minerals required to build by avoiding additional copper in the line chokes and steel in the chokes and cabinets.

The fusing for the other 8 drives has been moved to an adjacent cabinet where there are other drive sizes located. The control panel build is now underway. 

A big thanks to Ben Poole, too for his timely demonstration of these excellent drives. Sustainability CleanTech
