Avoid unplanned downtime
Lenze's 8200, 9300 and SMD frequency drives, which in the past were built into many Contiweb splicers, were discontinued by Lenze several years ago and are no longer sold through official channels. This means that they can no longer be replaced one-to-one in case of malfunction.
Obsolete core drives and infeed drives can cause severe unplanned downtime if they fail. Contiweb’s retrofits avoid unscheduled disruptions and safeguard your production lines. The extent of the retrofit varies: some obsolete drives can be easily replaced (1:1) by new drives, while others (core and infeed) require a considerable rebuild.
If you have multiple splicers with these obsolete drives, we suggest that you upgrade all the drives on one machine and keep the old drives as emergency stock for the remaining splicers. This will limit your investment and ensure back-up drives are available.
Free check for affected drives
Contiweb can check for free whether obsolete Lenze drives are installed in your Contiweb machines.
Many drives can be replaced individually at short notice after a breakdown, but in some applications it only makes sense to replace all the drives at the same time. Contiweb’s Service department will be happy to advise.
