Kinetix 300
 Does your organization use Servo Motors or Servo Drives? Do you avoid motion products due to perceived complexity?
A simple, cost-effective, low-axis machine solution is now available. Ask us about Allen Bradley’s new line of single axis Servo Drives; the Kinetix 300. The Kinetix 300 EtherNet/IP indexing drive uses one standard Ethernet/IP network for an entire machine - including Motion, Control, I/O, and HMI; simplifying wiring and reducing panel layout costs. The Kinetix 300 allows easy integration into manufacturing and enterprise systems, and features Allen Bradley’s Safe Torque-Off function standard. Contact Power Control Specialist Mike Mills for more details.
The Benefits of a Parts Management Agreement (PMA)
 If unintended downtime (breakdown) takes place during a batching or recipe process control, usually the entire batch is discarded due to poor quality, and negatively impacts production schedules. Often this process control includes critical drives or servos that, if they fail, will result in costing businesses lost revenue and high freight charges for replacement equipment. A Parts Management Agreement (PMA) will provide you numerous benefits, including improved asset control (by avoiding unnecessary inventory build-up) and cash management (by eliminating large capital expenditures for spare parts, providing a fixed agreement payment schedule, and minimizing carrying costs).
