Our drive.web distributed control technology provides cost effective and intuitive solutions to the complex control issues of winders and web tension control systems.
drive.web technology enables you to either adapt our tried and tested generic control packages to your equipment or gives you the standard function blocks and graphical signal flow diagram design tools for you to develop you own optimized solutions.
One of the best ways to get a feel for the features and functionality of these products is through the drive.web savvy intelligent design tools for drives and systems. You can download savvy free from the driveweb.com web site. Click on "get savvy" and download the version you need for your computer system. If you have MS Windows you will need to have the Java Runtime Environment installed - there is a link to this if you need it.
The savvy "Help" menu has some useful "getting started" information, but don't hesitate to call us at +1-410-604-3400 and we will be pleased to give you a guided tour of our drives and the innovative drive.web environment.
