18. EASY ELEVATOR DRIVE REPLACEMENTS
Developed specifically as the quick and easy way to replace faulty elevator drives, the VLT Lift
Drive is the new compact elevator drive from Danfoss, one of the world’s largest AC drive
manufacturers. Replacing an old Omron, Yaskawa or Control Techniques drive is
straightforward thanks to the comprehensive features that come as standard, and you don’t
need an expert to setup your replacement drive either- setup is tailored specifically for lifts
with all 10 parameters using “elevator language” for the shortest possible setup time.
18
ELEVATOR DRIVE REPAIRS
We support elevator companies from around the world with our responsive lift drive repair service and large stock of
refurbished elevator drives. Our bespoke test rigs mean we have the capability to load test each lift drive we repair for
several hours to ensure reliability.
20. ONSITE SUPPORT
Our dedicated team of onsite engineers are here to solve all of your onsite problems. Most commonly this involves
providing a fast response to onsite machinery breakdowns but we also provide other onsite services including
scheduled maintenance and holiday maintenance cover. Whether you’re on planned or unplanned downtime, our
engineers are here when you need them.

We will quote you an estimated cost on how
long the job may be based on your fault
information. You are under no obligation to
accept or pay upfront. If you decide to go
ahead, we will schedule a time and the
engineer will call when they’re on their way.
STEP 2
Our engineer will complete the work whilst
onsite to get you back up and running as
quickly as possible. They will keep you
informed every step of the way so you’re
always in the know and can keep your eye on
the progress.
STEP 4
We’ll call you back to discuss your fault and
establish as many details as possible. When
our engineer arrives onsite the information
you provide here will ensure we are as
prepared as possible therefore minimising
your downtime.
STEP 1
Once onsite the engineer will diagnose your
fault and narrow it down to the equipment
causing the problem such as the control
system, variable speed drive or HMI. If they
need to, they will remove the faulty part.
STEP 3

22. If you’re thinking about upgrading your existing drives, we are here to make the process as stress free and cost-effective
as possible. Whatever your reason for upgrading, whether it’s due to lack of spares availability, reliability or to add new
functionality to your application, we will ensure you have the best drive for your requirements.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
Our engineers will work with your existing wiring diagrams to specify a brand new drive that will fit into your
existing application and installation environment. For many customers we can program your drive parameters for
you to make recommissioning the new drive quick and simple. Get in touch for a free chat about your requirements
by calling us on 01254 673747 or you can email us on info@nicontrols.com.
WHY UPGRADE?
Upgrading from an old obsolete drive to a new drive is not
only easy with Northern Industrial, but also brings many
benefits. Saving energy is a huge plus point for AC drives and
with a newer model you can be sure of their maximum
energy efficiency. Modern technology provides control for
repeatable accuracy at higher speeds.

24. We recognise the importance of testing every repair. That’s why we’ve invested the time, money and effort into creating
hundreds of test rigs including PLCs from all major brands, load testing for variable speed drives and bespoke CNC
machine tool rigs. Our custom rigs along with our experienced engineers and knowledge management system means
you can be confident in quality repairs and refurbished parts every time.

BESPOKE RIGS
Developing a wide range of test rigs is integral to providing
high quality, long-lasting repairs. We’ve got rigs in place for all
types of automation equipment including variable speed
drives, PLCs, CNC machine tools and lift drives. They enable
us to test your parts under load so that we know they will be
100% functional upon their return.
KNOWLEDGE
MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM
We’ve designed and built our own in-house
knowledge base which is filled with engineer
write ups on every part we’ve repaired. This
means all of our engineers have access to
in-depth knowledge about thousands of
automation parts, their common faults and how
to fully test them.
ALL POPULAR RANGES
Some of the popular part ranges we have test rigs in place for
include; Siemens Simatic S5/S7/TI-505/Sinamics/Sinumerik
/Simodrive, Allen Bradley SLC-500/PLC-5, Mitsubishi Q/A/FX
Series, Omron Sysmac, Telemecanique TSX, GE Fanuc 90-70,

26. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Our preventative maintenance and program/parameter backup service is
designed to minimise your downtime. Preventative maintenance reduces the
likeliness of your parts failing in the future and backups ensure your programs
and parameters can be reconfigured in as little time as possible.

PROGRAM BACKUP
We understand that for many customers the programs
and parameters within their drives and PLCs are more
valuable to them than the part itself. Wherever
possible we back these up so that we can reprogram
or reparameterise them before returning them to you.
We can also provide you with a copy of your programs
and parameters so that you have a copy for the future,
simply ask one of our sales team for more information.

PREVENTATIVE
MAINTENANCE
You know the old saying prevention is better than
cure? This is also true for automation parts and is
why we carry out a preventative maintenance
service on every repair we complete. This means
we replace every single serviceable component
within your part, such as capacitors, relays and
fans. This dramatically reduces the chance of
future failure due to aged components.
