Carpet Shearing MachinE Control System Upgrade

A full electrical controls upgrade that modernised an ageing carpet shearing machine, improving reliability, operator control, diagnostics and long-term serviceability.

The Challenge

The existing control system had become outdated and restrictive, limiting performance, reducing fault visibility and making long-term maintenance more difficult. The client needed a full electrical upgrade to improve usability, reliability and safety while extending the life of the machine.

What We Delivered

Siemens PLC & HMI

New Siemens S7 PLC and HMI setup for advanced control and more intuitive operator interaction.

Variable Speed Drives

Replaced the old task-unit drive controls with modern variable speed drives for smoother and more responsive performance.

New Control Panels

Newly engineered control panels designed with long-term serviceability and reliability in mind.

Safety Architecture Upgrade

Enhanced safety architecture aligned with modern safety standards and performance requirements.

The Outcome

Improved operator control Clearer, more intuitive machine interaction
Smoother performance Better drive control and more consistent operation
Future-ready system Modern diagnostics, improved safety and easier maintenance

The result is a machine that not only looks fully refreshed but performs like new. With upgraded controls, smoother drive performance and modern diagnostics, this project delivered a major operational improvement and a stronger long-term solution for the client.
