ABB has launched a new customer drives test laboratory at its factory in Helsinki, Finland. The laboratory enables customers to have their own motors tested with the company’s variable speed drives (VSDs) to determine their impact on performance and energy consumption. The company is targeting high-volume customers and partners such as technology companies in the machine building industries, as well as system integrators.
ABB’s global drives business also has customer laboratories in the United States, China and India that provide local support. The company intends to connect all of its laboratories in a global chain for maximum customer support.
