Door line in Ireland — 19× FR-E, throughput ×3

Door maker Profile Developments (Glin, Co. Limerick) and Mitsubishi Electric Europe rebuilt a conveyor line. Each conveyor section has its own motor and inverter: 19 FR-E drives, plus a MELSEC iQ-R PLC and a GOT2000 HMI.

FR-E was chosen for accurate conveyor speed. iQ-R talks to the drives on CC-Link IE Field Basic. GOT2000 shows speed, alarms and production logs.

The line was commissioned with no factory downtime. Output rose from about 4 doors per hour to 12 (peak figures of 20–24 units/hour are cited together with existing capacity). John Barrett (Profile Developments) praised both the solution and Mitsubishi support, including PLC programming.
