KVB Quality
With coordinated efforts from KVBs Marketing, Operations and Customer Service groups, we have developed an unmatched reputation for excellence. Operations customer focused teams blend engineering, software, and production disciplines to execute design and production tasks within an ISO9000 compliant quality system. The result is quick turnaround and quality control down to the production floor. All Systems are subjected to 100% Factory Testing before shipment.
Industrial Control Panels
KVB provides engineering and manufacturing of custom industrial control panels and instrument systems. Your system can be designed and built with Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and relay circuits if control and monitoring of process equipment or process data is required.
Custom control panel design & fabrication
KVBs is experienced in building modular systems. Our specialty is in design and manufacture of panels which we install in a stand-alone rack or NEMA enclosures. In addition, KVB also designs and builds open panel design systems that facilitate easy troubleshooting and servicing. Any of our panels can contain a variety of components combined in a complex array. PLCs terminal blocks, heat traced line, signal wire, power lines, transformers, pneumatic and hydraulic components are incorporated as necessary to meet specific system requirements
Retrofit & upgrade existing panels
Improve your equipment with the latest in technology. Upgrade from relay logic to PLC. Change DC, or belt driven equipment to the latest in vector drive technology and motor controls. KVB can retrofit existing systems with new instruments and modify existing panels in the field. In addition, our national field service force provides technical support by evaluating upgrade requirements; field installing components and software; and field testing. We work with existing equipment, drawings, if available, and photographs to provide system design improvements.
UL Registration
KVB is a UL shop (Reg. No. E159048). We can supply industrial control panels built to UL508/Canadian CSA 222.2 specifications. If you require panels built to Underwriters Laboratories procedures and specifications, KVB can review your application and make any necessary recommendations to meet UL.
Programmable Controls
KVB programmers can develop custom code for your process conditions. We utilize a PVCS archiving and version control system to assure control of modifications of custom developed code.
Programmable Logic Controllers
KVB programmers have experience with every major PLC manufacturer including:
Code can be developed in BASIC, C and/or with ladder logic. English language code can be utilized for easier interface.
HMI-Programming
If a computer system is required, KVB can provide PC hardware and software with a variety of communication links with the PLC. KVB programmers can work with U.S. Data FactoryLink, Intellution or WonderWare for the human machine interface. These human machine interfaces (HMI) are widely known for process control features and friendly graphical interface in English, or the large character sets of Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages.
KVB software products run on SCO UNIX, MS-Windows 3.1, MS-Windows95, MS-WindowsNT and Concurrent DOS operating systems.
For custom reports, data can be exported to Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, FoxPro or Lotus 1-2-3 or to the plant DCS for data management by the user.
Industrial Controls
- Pneumatic interface
- Networking
- Operator control panels
- Analog controls
- Digital controls
- Data acquisition
