Electrical and Controls Support During Equipment Moves

Relocation projects are often an ideal opportunity to evaluate aging electrical systems and machine controls.

Instead of reinstalling obsolete components without review, manroland Goss can identify modernization opportunities before or during the move.

Electrical relocation services may include:

• Electrical disconnect and reconnection planning
• Control-panel relocation
• PLC and HMI reconnection
• Drive and motor-control setup
• Network and communication integration
• Sensor and feedback-device installation
• Electrical troubleshooting
• Updated wiring and documentation
• Controls testing
• Software backup and recovery
• Remote-support configuration

If existing controls are becoming obsolete, the relocation may also provide an opportunity to complete a modernization project.

Rebuild and Retrofit During Relocation

Moving an older machine can be an excellent time to address mechanical wear or obsolete controls before it begins production in its new location.

Rather than reinstalling existing problems, our team can evaluate opportunities such as:

• Bearing and roller replacement
• Shaft and gear repairs
• Cylinder refurbishment
• Gap restoration
• Drive-system upgrades
• PLC replacement
• HMI modernization
• Electrical cabinet upgrades
• Safety-system improvements
• Pneumatic-system upgrades
• Machine alignment improvements

Combining relocation with rebuilding or modernization can reduce the need for another major shutdown later.

Equipment Alignment and Commissioning

Correct alignment is critical after heavy machinery has been moved.

Improper installation can contribute to:

• Excessive vibration
• Premature bearing wear
• Drive-system problems
• Poor registration
• Uneven cutting or scoring
• Folding inconsistencies
• Material-tracking problems
• Increased component wear
• Reduced production speed

Our technicians can evaluate machine positioning, alignment and operating condition before production resumes.

Commissioning may include mechanical adjustments, electrical testing, controls verification and production testing based on the equipment and project scope.

Moving Used Corrugated Equipment

Used machinery can offer significant value, but you should evaluate its condition before installation.

manroland Goss can assist with used corrugated equipment projects involving:

• Equipment inspection
• Condition assessment
• Disassembly
• Relocation planning
• Installation
• Mechanical repairs
• Controls upgrades
• Electrical modernization
• Rebuilds
• Commissioning

Addressing known wear and obsolescence before installation can help reduce unexpected problems after startup.

Corrugated and Packaging Equipment We Can Support

Relocation and installation services may be available for equipment including:

• Flexo folder gluers
• Rotary die cutters
• Folder gluers
• Corrugated converting equipment
• Printing and finishing equipment
• Stitchers
• Stackers
• Bundlers
• Palletizers

Planning a Corrugated Equipment Relocation

Successful equipment moves begin well before you disconnect the machine.

Important considerations may include:

• Machine dimensions and weight
• Existing equipment condition
• Available documentation
• Foundation requirements
• Plant layout
• Utility requirements
• Electrical power requirements
• Rigging access
• Production shutdown schedule
• Transportation logistics
• Equipment modifications
• Controls compatibility
• Safety requirements
• Startup schedule

Early planning allows potential problems to be identified before they affect the relocation timeline.

Our Relocation and Installation Process

1. Project Assessment

We review the equipment, current facility, destination, production requirements and anticipated project scope.

2. Relocation Planning

Our team helps identify mechanical, electrical, controls, engineering and logistical requirements.

3. Equipment Preparation

Machines and systems are documented, prepared and disassembled according to the project plan.

4. Removal and Transportation Coordination

Equipment is prepared for rigging, removal and transportation to the new location.

5. Installation and Alignment

The machinery is positioned, assembled, leveled and aligned at the destination.

6. Electrical and Controls Integration

Electrical systems, drives, PLCs, HMIs, sensors and communications are reconnected and tested.

7. Commissioning

Mechanical and electrical systems are tested and adjusted before production startup.

8. Production Support

Our team can assist with startup, troubleshooting and additional adjustments as the equipment returns to production.

More Than Equipment Moving

A successful relocation requires knowledge of how production machinery is designed, operated and maintained.
