He said balls of every color


Those look to be only pastel

 

i clicked on the first google result

 

"We need pictures of the Black/Black colored shirt to send to a buyer"

We don't have that shirt in solid black, do you have the exact description of the pattern?

"It's not solid black, it's black with black dots on it"

 

makes me think of this

 

I hope you stay as far away from European VFD's as possible. Anytime that plant calls maintenance and says a machine or motor wont come on, I put my money on those VFD's. This is the third one in the last year to let the smoke out.

 

fucking lol, just watching the first two minutes I can say that's exactly how this place is a lot of the time.

 

Huh that's interesting... is it all European brands or just that one particular one that's problematic? I'm shooting in the dark here but I wonder if it's because they're designed around 50Hz incoming vs the standard 60 we're used to this side of the pond?

 

So far its Eurotherm and Sew Eurodrive that we have issues with. Telemecanique stuff is ok cause Square D owns it.

 

I casually asked my boss about those brands and he said eurotherm is predominantly a temperature controls company and sew eurodrive is mainly gear motors and power transmission stuff.. so more than likely they're paying some 3rd brand to make drives and just put their labels on it.

Interestingly enough sew eurodrive has their vfd made by a company called invertek, who also makes some drives for Eaton. So if you're having availability issues you should be able to cross it over to invertek without too much hassle

 

Figures Eaton has their hand in it. That company is huge.

 

EATON is like the damn Borg

 

They make (made?) good hockey equipment back when I played as a kid, if that's the same company lol
