1 million drives
March 1st 2009 The one millionth ABB standard
drive has rolled off the production
line, marking a historic milestone as
the first of an
ABB drive
range to hit
this figure.
Some five
years since
the first drive
of this family
was made at
ABB's
Helsinki
factory, the demand is now such that
it is produced by five factories in
three continents.
There are three families of drives:
ABB industrial drive, ABB standard
drive and ABB machinery drive. The
ABB standard drive is one of the
world's best selling drives of all time.
"It is designed as a standard drive
for standard applications. And yet it
possesses some of the most advanced
features that give it the simplicity of
use demanded by the market," says
Steve Ruddell, general manager,
drives & motors, ABB. More articles from ABB Ltd: |
