Winning
The P7000 / Powermax system won the business because it provided significant value over the competition:
- P7000 Multistepping feature significantly upgraded machine performance
- P7000 Current Reduction feature reduced power consumption
- P7000/Powermax combination served all range of needs, simplifying customer drawings and specifications
- P7000/Powermax combination outperformed the competition while being a smaller package and having a cheaper price
- P7000/Powermax system along with P7000 Tools interface made system easy to use
Sales Process
The system was won due to Kenny Hampton (TSS) doing analysis and discovering the actual needed torque for all the machine web sizes. A single motor was selected for all, so a single motor simplified drawings/specifications. The overall cost actually came in slightly lower than the incumbent Anaheim Automation, due to the fact that our system was “right-sized”, not over-sized, due to the Dynamic Smoothing and Extreme Smoothing. The idle-current-reduction mode of the P7000 also helped the manufacturer decide in favor of Danaher Motion.
