Incorporating ABB Drives into your machine design now is faster and easier than ever. Through a partnership with PARTsolutions LLC (www.part-solutions.com), ABB Inc., Low Voltage Drives (LVD) provides customers and channel partners access to a complete LVD CAD catalog.

It's easy, convenient – and fast. Drawings are essential to machine designers, and being able to get them quickly, and in the formats needed, is essential to time-strapped machine builders. PARTsolutions LLC is a worldwide provider of CAD-part catalog applications, and use of their PARTserver® application provides the platform for delivery of ABB's product CAD drawings, he said.

The 3-dimensional drawings offered through the new catalog provide what most engineering groups now use and need to develop machine- and panel-layout designs. The use of this software provides users access to the complete spectrum of CAD designs – from those that use 2-dimention AutoCAD to those utilizing 3-dimensional drawings; the 3-dimensional imaging makes it easy to fully represent what the completed design will look like.

PARTserver provides users the ability to receive drawings that are properly scaled and formatted - in native format the CAD environment engineers design in.
