Classic Automation's New Test Development Center
In an era where the reliability of industrial automation is paramount, Classic Automation has taken a significant step forward with the unveiling of its brand-new Test Development Center. As a leader in industrial automation repair and parts supply, Classic Automation recognizes the growing needs of manufacturers reliant on legacy systems and aging infrastructure. This dedicated facility is designed specifically to enhance their in-house testing capabilities, aiming to improve parts availability and ensure the reliability of automation systems.
Addressing the Challenges of Legacy Systems
The establishment of the Test Development Center was a direct response to increasing customer demand for dependable support for outdated technologies. As original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) phase out their support for older control systems, many companies are left struggling to maintain essential operations with aging facilities. This pioneering center is set to replicate real-world operating conditions to design advanced test systems that guarantee like-new performance across a broader range of automation products. This initiative is in addition to the hundreds of test systems that are already part of Classic Automation’s existing inventory.
Robert Collins, the Director of Test Development at Classic Automation, expressed how this endeavor transcends mere technical enhancement, calling it a "strategic investment in reliability." The aim is not only to meet the demand for hard-to-find and newly obsolete automation parts but also to verify their dependability before deployment.
Key Features and New Capabilities
The Test Development Center introduces several key features that will significantly alter the landscape of automation testing. These include:
- - Custom high-power test benches that simulate actual field conditions, ensuring components undergo rigorous testing before they are deployed to clients.
- - Advanced safety systems integrated into the testing environment that facilitate real-time diagnostics, thus maintaining high safety standards while validating functionality.
- - Streamlined test protocols that not only reduce lead times but also improve throughput, enabling a faster turnaround for repairs and testing cycles.
With the new center, Classic Automation will offer comprehensive testing capabilities for a variety of systems. This includes support for:
- - Stöber FDS/SDS 4000 and 5000 Series Drives
- - Mitsubishi MELSERVO J2, J3, and J4 Servo Drives
- - Omron R7D-BP and R88D Drives
- - Honeywell HC900 Hybrid Controllers
- - ABB Symphony Plus IET800 Modules
- - Emerson DX and FX Servo Drives
- - Baldor FlexDrive II Drives
- - Expanded testing services for various Siemens systems, including ET200 and Sinamics V90.
Enhancing Operational Efficiency
By simulating real-world environments, the Test Development Center can better ensure that components are not only available but also trustworthy and effective. The facility's focus on precision diagnostics reduces downtime risks significantly, which is critical for operations that can be adversely affected by equipment failure. This dedication to operational reliability aligns perfectly with Classic Automation's mission, reinforcing its commitment to supporting manufacturers with dependable parts while keeping production lines running smoothly, even as OEM support starts to wane.
Classic Automation’s new Test Development Center is poised to revolutionize how legacy systems are tested and maintained, providing manufacturers with the peace of mind they need in an ever-evolving technological landscape. In doing so, it continues to fulfill its promise of delivering high-quality refurbished equipment and exceptional customer service.
