VIP-I Power Supply Units
Our VIP-I® Power Supply Units offer metal casters reliability, efficiency and guaranteed melt rates in a compact and versatile package.
VIP-I® Power Supply Units feature advanced IGBT power components, husky copper bus bars, precise and responsive digital controls, informative diagnostic functions and can be fully configured with a variety of options. These units are smaller and more compact than prior silicon controlled rectifier units in this size range. A standard VIP-I® Power Supply Unit includes an intelligent digital control board with fiber-optic connectors for clear signal processing, a digital display and an integral keypad for control and data entry. For advanced computer control assistance for the operator, these units are available with our built-in Melt-Manager® Plus® Control System which allows for connection to external customers’ monitoring or data acquisition systems.
Control Options
Melt Shop Control Systems enable you to take control by monitoring and controlling the melt, diagnosing faults, maximizing power usage, minimizing power/fuel charges and performing a variety of tasks. We offer a variety of control system options which include:
- Melt-Manager® Control Systems are our entry level to smart systems that utilize embedded microprocessor controls and provide the operator with melt control modes and diagnostics for analysis and support.
- Melt-Manager® Plus® Control Systems are computer-based applications which provide a higher level of melt automation technology to support furnace melt controls, diagnostic analysis and customer network, and communication interface.
- Meltminder® 300™ Melt Shop Control and Management Systems provide the highest level of melt automation technology to support precise, highly responsive and fully programmable control, which is important to the safe and efficient operation of today’s induction melting equipment.
