Magnetek’s Impulse System Series 2 Available for Retrofit Installations

Magnetek, Inc., Menomonee Falls, Wis., announces the Impulse Sway Control System Series 2 is now available for retrofit installations to meet a wide variety of overhead crane application requirements.

The external retrofit sway control system can be used with nearly any manufacturer’s variable speed drive. The ability to retrofit existing cranes provides crane owners with the opportunity to upgrade and improve their existing equipment at a low cost and without the added time investment needed for a complete overhaul or replacement of the existing controls. For new installations, Magnetek’s Sway Control System Series 2 is offered as an embedded product in their IMPULSE G+ Series 4 variable frequency drives.

“Sway Control improves productivity by allowing crane operators to move loads at full speed without danger of load sway damaging equipment, giving the operator peace of mind and improving load placement accuracy,” said Jason Wellnitz, controls product manager. “We are excited to offer Sway Control for retrofit applications because it has the ability to improve customers’ experience with Magnetek products and offers customers the opportunity to apply Magnetek’s industry-leading technology to upgrade older equipment from virtually any supplier.”
