Bardac Retrofit Pictures



Bardac's DC drives make excellent retrofit drives.  The PL/PLX Series is the most advanced digital DC drive on the market and their single phase analog drives are full featured drives including field controllers and tachometer feedback.  Below are some photos given to us by our customers of some retrofits they have done.  Click on the pictures for a larger version:

Before After Left over Junk


100 HP Extruder -- The Bardac PL Series DC Drive was factory configured to fit into the old drive enclosure.  This used a custom power/PL option from Bardac which included an oversized panel to house existing circuit breaker.  The layout was also modified for top & side entry (existing cables were very short).  Installation and startup was very easy.

Before After


100 HP Printing Press -- Dual Bardac PL Series DC Drives.  The three blue boxes were replaced with a single enclosure.  The pictures are angled due to the press being in the way.
