PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Rockwell Automation Inc. is an international company that works with many different products and services. At their Cambridge location, I worked with their Medium Voltage Drives (seen below) and Starters products. Similar to the circuits that power fans and pumps, these power much larger devices and have a much greater capability. The production facilities included the assembly departments, but also the sheet metal and paint shop where they performed a variety of punching, shearing, welding, and forming operations.
