Case Study 1:
Plastic Insulated Cables
Limited

(Relates to Electrical Control Systems)

PIC had to stop production of a best selling cable when the haul-off on a sheathing extrusion line failed. Suddenly the production engineer, and the business, had a major problem…



The PIC engineer sourced and ordered a replacement haul-off from Europe. It could be delivered in 5 weeks, but the supply company couldn’t offer a control panel in time!

PIC called us, explained the situation and told us they could only provide the external connection diagram for the caterpillar - could we help? Of course we could. We designed a control panel that would offer the required levels of control and integrate the new haul-off into the line. In the 5-week lead-time we had made the panel and were ready to go the moment the caterpillar arrived. Upon delivery we installed and commissioned the caterpillar and the control panel, fully integrating both into the existing line, cutting downtime to a minimum.
