“When faced with the challenge of replacing our Link Belt PIV mechanical variable speed drive units on Line, we turned to Apex Industrial Automation for their expertise. They impressively identified and combined the ratios of the PIV units and pulleys, consolidating the gearing into a series of direct-driven motors and gearboxes, in-line. Their team also designed custom baseplate stands to stabilize and organize the new setup.
Thanks to Apex, our new setup with explosion-proof motors and in-line gearboxes allows us to work on individual components without shutting down the entire line. This not only enhances our efficiency but also gives us the peace of mind knowing we can quickly find in-stock replacements when needed. Apex’s innovative approach and attention to detail have made a significant impact on our operations.”
