The SpeedMaster Control Panel

The benefits of the SpeedMaster^TM are realized as a combination of improved communication and control of various shredder features, and expanded operator interface functions. The SpeedMaster^TM utilizes the new A-B VersaView^R CE with Microsoft^R Windows CE to bring together the features of PanelView^TM Plus operator interface and VersaView industrial computers. The solid state hardware provides an enconomical solution for harsh environments, including areas with high temperature, shock, or vibration. The MicroLogix 1400 PLCS is filled with features and options designed to handle an extensive range of applications. A field-upgradeable flash operating system ensures you will always be up-to-date with the latest features, without having to replace hardware.

An A-B PowerFlex AC Drive (VFD) for variable speed hydraulic feed ram is included in the SpeedMaster system. This allows ram speed to be increased by a factor of up to four, called Turbo mode.

Unlike out-dated Star Delta technology, this is true electronic smart motor control consisting of a variable frequency drive (VFD), special PLC programming and an inventer-duty motor. No fluid coupling is required, as the VFD provides true "soft-start" benefits. With a speed range of 50-200, the cutting system maintains the optimum speed for application of the proper amount of torque instantaneously, and can be started and stopped frequently to synchronize with downstream equipment. Quick reaction of the cutting system reduces the frequency of rotor reversals, and when they do occur to dislodge a jam, the reversal cycle is minimized as compared to conventional drives.
