applications. Our grinding features can be used with different GrindMaster controls making it easy to tailor each GrindMaster to suit your application. If we don't have a feature you need, we will develop it for you.
Installation
Because grinders come in all sizes and our customers have different
capabilities, Grinding Controls Technologies offers you flexible installation
plans.
A. Complete Control Retrofit
Grinding Controls Technologies can provide a turn key control retrofit for your
machine. This is practical when the machine is in good condition and you wish
to upgrade your control.
B. Complete Machine Retrofit
Grinding Controls Technologies can work with an appropriate grinding machine
re-builder to repair and upgrade your machine mechanically and electrically. In
new applications where you do not have a grinding machine, we can sometimes
locate and retrofit a used machine.
C. OEM Package
Some machine builders prefer to mount the control components in custom
enclosures. Grinding Controls Technologies can provide the GrindMaster
components separately or mounted to a sub-panel of your choice. We also provide
custom enclosures and start-up assistance.
D. Basic Package
Grinding Controls Technologies provides an operator station, a control station,
selected field devices and start-up assistance.
