Harris Press Retrofit

Here we did a Harris Cottrrell press retrofit using the Control Techniques Mentor II drives. There are two motors on the press designed to load share during normal operation but able each to run the press in an emergency. We replaced and old Cutler Hammer drive that was becoming problematic to fix. As you can see, the installation was clean. These drives have been operating flawlessly since 2001.
Here we see the two bays where the old drives were mounted, and where the two ones are mounted. Galveston Daily News is an award-winning newspaper with a very old press being run by state of the art controls. Why not let us do your next press retrofit?
