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The existing control system had become outdated and restrictive, limiting performance, reducing fault visibility and making long-term maintenance more difficult.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
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.
