The new drives will be introduced in November at SPS/IPC/Drives in Nuremberg, Germany.Gary Keen, head of global sales for Sprint Electric, states: "This is more great news for our customers working in heavy industries like paper, plastics and metals. We saw our customers had great success when we recently increased the power rating of our digital DC drives to 1050A, so we can understand why they are pleased to hear we have increased our power ratings even further."
The PLX range of digital drives offers compact design and powerful software on all models from 12-1650A. All include 40-character alphanumeric backlit displays, a range of software blocks, and a fully controlled field for extended speed range.

The fully controlled field, the extensive range of software blocks and the range of communication protocols available allow our customers to overcome the most demanding of motor control applications."
