SME partnership promotes motor customisation

VASCAT and CP Automation are calling for engineers to opt for customised motors instead of off-the-shelf solutions to help improve the performance and accuracy of the application and increase overall system productivity.

“Our two companies see eye to eye when it comes to commissioning a new drive system,” explained John Mitchell, global business development manager of CP Automation. “In most cases, choosing a standard motor will involve some kind of compromise. However, by commissioning a custom-made motor instead, a company can significantly reduce the size of the inverter it uses, which results in considerable energy and cost savings in the long run.”

“The VASCAT-CP Automation collaboration means customers in the UK and internationally benefit from no minimum order quantities, short product delivery times and stronger technical support,” continued Xavier Palomar, sales and marketing manager of VASCAT. “Because VASCAT’s motors are not commodity products, we prefer to work with technically-oriented partners that can help us offer a complete drive system solution for different application across industry sectors.”

VASCAT and CP Automation have already worked together on projects to retrofit old machines and installations in the steel sector and replace older generation motors with more efficient ones, built to the same specifications.
