Machinery Safety System Upgrades

Machinery safety is an integral part of our upgrades to any equipment – large or small. Optima help our clients achieve the required mandatory standards by offering independently-written PUWER reports that places no obligation on them to contract the upgrade work to Optima, but many choose to. From the initial PUWER survey, Optima develop the machine safety control concept with the customer to satisfy the PUWER report findings. The customer is then assured that all relevant legislation has been adhered to.

Of course, with the increasing use of programmable and configurable safety systems in industry it is more important than ever that safety software is written to standard and thoroughly tested.

This is why Optima’s engineers responsible for machinery safety are fully TÜV SÜD trained in Functional Safety for Factory Automation (ISO 13849 and IEC 62061) and have a combined experience of over 30 years in the design of safety related control systems.

Optima have engineered fully integrated systems both as upgrades and as part of an entire machine control system from the following major manufacturers:

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
