Dart Controls, Inc. has agreed to re-sell Invertek AC drives.  Adding this capability furthers Dart’s desire to serve customer needs completely by adding AC drives to its already complete line of DC and BLDC drives.  This also compliments the addition of Leeson to Dart’s line of products available to customers.  Now, customers can source both DC and AC motors in addition to a wide variety of drives to meet most application needs.

Dart is leveraging its Master distributor relationship with Invertek (and Leeson) to provide very competitive prices on these excellent products, regardless of quantity.  Dart’s primary business is DC and BLDC drives – selling complimentary products like these is meant to be a service for our customers.

DESIGN NEWS has awarded the Dart BLM700 with a BEST NEW PRODUCT- FINALIST for 2010 in the Motion Control / Automation category.  DN’s Golden Mousetrap Awards highlight “the best and brightest engineering innovations of the past year, as well as creativity in product design”.  This is the second consecutive year a Dart product has been selected a New Product Finalist (in 2009 the MD PLUS Series was named). 

The BLM700 is a multipurpose closed loop brushless DC motor control designed for OEM and MRO applications where energy efficiency, space, installation cost and tight motor speed regulation are a must.  Typical applications include commercial cooking and industrial process conveyor ovens; material handling systems; printing and labeling equipment; chemical metering pumps; batching and blending applications.  The BLM700 is brushless motor control, digital closed loop, ratio control, process alarm and programmable rate meter all in one integrated package. 

The BLM700 utilizes concepts from the field tested Dart Micro-Drive Series, with the added benefit of energy efficiency.  Brushless DC motor drive technology is the most efficient drive technology.  The BLM700 overcomes the typical higher initial investment hurdle found with other brushless solutions by incorporating many other typical motor loop functions into one package.  By eliminating these other components (tachometer feedback, alarm relays, ratio control and tachometer) AND the installation cost associated with them, the BLM700 actually SAVES money over traditional solutions.

DESIGN NEWS has awarded the Dart MD Plus Series with a BEST PRODUCT- FINALIST for 2009 in the Motion Control / Automation category.  DN’s Golden Mousetrap Award highlights “the best and brightest engineering innovations of the past year, as well as creativity in product design”.

The MD PLUS is a field-programmable closed loop DC drive system employing an advanced velocity-form PID algorithm for accurate motor speed / process loop control. The MD PLUS is ideally suited for metering pump, blending, process oven, parts washer and other applications where the final driven element is a DC motor. The MD PLUS includes two field-programmable Form C relay contacts that may be configured to indicate a wide variety of conditions such as motor is running, “fault” conditions, and other information.

The combined functionality of the MD PLUS saves installation cost and space. The configurable modes (Master, Time, Ratio) allow one device to be used in multiple applications. This simplifies the end user experience and field support of delivered systems.
