Five year warrantee for drives.

Control Techniques has launched a free, five-year warranty for its Commander range of general-purpose drives. Anyone who purchases a drive from the Commander range will now be able to register to extend the products’ warranty from two years to five, at no extra cost.

Anthony Pickering, president of Control Techniques said: “To increase the warranty period for our Commander range signals our confidence in the product and gives drive users added security. We are particularly proud to be in a position where we can offer this.”

The new offer relates to the Commander C200 and C300 – general purpose drives designed for ease of setup and installation. The firm states the move to extend the warranty from two to five years is testimony to the products’ exceptional track record for reliability and durability. Users can now buy with confidence, safe in the knowledge that their purchase comes with the security a five-year warranty offers.

Due to an on-board PLC, both devices have embedded intelligence – removing the need for an external controller – and a 0.25kW to 132kW power range makes the products suitable for lower and high-power applications. Noted for its robust design and resilience to harsh environments, the Commander range has the smallest footprint in its class, making it is ideal for machine and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). For more complex applications, both models are compatible with Control Techniques’ plug-in option modules.

The Commander family of drives was reintroduced to the company’s portfolio at the end of 2018.

Warranty extended!

Two year warranty supports reliability claims

It goes without saying that process interruptions are undesirable and very costly. Therefore it is sensible to use reliable and quality parts in the production process, avoiding the “penny wise, pound foolish” trap with cheaper, but unreliable instruments. Recognising this need for reliable and durable displays, Fluidwell has pursued excellence in quality and reliability. To support this claim, the warranty period for displays has now been doubled to two years.

“No, we are not expecting added cost, or to get more repairs returned as a result of prolonging the warranty period”, says Eric Rath, General Manager of the Fluidwell Group in The Netherlands. “99.8% of the displays we ship out, are never seen back again, and of the 0.2% we get back, half are because of improper use. The decision to double the warranty period is a signal of goodwill and evidence of our trust in our products and to strengthen our reliability core value”.

The warranty period extension to two years is effective immediately and retroactive for displays purchased in the last two years.
