OEM Solutions

Benshaw’s success in the OEM and industrial marketplace is a direct result of our willingness as a company to think “beyond the box.” We’ve made systems integration a central focus of our business, and we make learning your business a top priority.

By focusing on the bigger picture, we gain a better understanding of your process, your control requirements and your market objectives. We then apply that knowledge toward the development and production of complete, cost effective, fully integrated control solutions.

Custom Enclosures

Benshaw takes great pride in our ability to design and deliver custom control enclosures that truly complement the form and function of your machine. NEMA 1, 12, 3R, 4 and 4X enclosures in unit mount, console mount, free-standing and wall-mount configurations are available to suit your needs.

Every enclosure we design is carefully crafted to meet your dimensional requirements, prototyped and tested for fit and compliance with relevant safety standards, fabricated to exacting tolerances and finished to your paint specification.

Intelligent Motor Control

Benshaw offers a full range of intelligent, programmable, low and medium voltage starters and drives — from fractional to 20,000 HP — to meet a variety of motor control needs. Motor control products include full voltage starters, solid state reduced voltage starters and variable frequency drives. Reversing, two-speed, DC braking, wye-delta, synchronous and wound rotor control are supported.

Integrated Machine Logic and Control Sensors

Benshaw can supply standard or PC-based programmable logic controllers, and will custom design hardware or software to meet process requirements. Networking capabilities, remote monitoring and custom-designed human machine interface packages are also available.

Benshaw can integrate any number of sensors, transducers, relays, switches, meters and protective devices, as required, to precisely monitor and respond to all critical process, machine or environmental variables.

Integrated Power Packages

Benshaw can also incorporate all of the power distribution components needed for your machine in one simple, plug-and-play package. Turnkey power distribution packages typically include all internal and external motor control wiring harnesses, power wiring harnesses, motor/machine sensor connections and, if needed, a fully integrated power factor correction unit.

Quality Assurance

All power systems are factory tested at Benshaw with custom-built machine simulators and wire pull-testers to guarantee reliable performance.

Regional Responsiveness … on a Global Scale

Benshaw’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities combine the convenience of regional proximity with the cost advantages of a single, large scale operation and an extensive global supply chain. All of Benshaw’s manufacturing operations and information systems are linked for instantaneous transfer of engineering data and work order specifications.

Single-Source Responsibility

From engineering and panel prototyping to enclosure and wire harness fabrication, machining and assembly, Benshaw offers the convenience and cost advantages of single-source responsibility across a full range of electromechanical starters, solid-state controls and drives. In fact, Benshaw is widely recognized as an innovator in the machine control industry. We approach complex control applications with unrivaled engineering and design experience, and work closely with OEM partners toward an optimal control solution.

Standards Compliance

Benshaw provides design and testing services to ensure UL, CE or CCC compliance and can acquire all of the necessary machine and motor control listings and certifications.

Global Sourcing

Benshaw’s centralized materials management staff sources all raw materials and electrical components on a global basis, working to find the best possible value for our customers.

ISO Certification

Benshaw invests heavily in stateof-the-art production and process control technologies to achieve the highest possible quality at the lowest possible cost. All operations are ISO certified, and all components, enclosures, parts and materials are inspected, tracked and kitted per ISO 9001 protocols to ensure timely processing of OEM control orders.

Automation Efficiencies

Benshaw’s proprietary workflow automation system streamlines the entire production process, eliminating a number of manual functions from order entry, scheduling, engineering and materials requisition to assembly, billing and payment. The result? Increased operational efficiency, reduced opportunities for error, shorter lead times and lower panel costs than typically experienced through a local panel shop, component manufacturer or third party integrator.

World-Class After-Sale Service and Support

Benshaw’s dedicated, knowledgeable technicians are available to answer questions and provide support before, during and after the sale. Repairs, spares, field engineering, retrofits and training — whenever and wherever needed — are all part of our commitment.
