TESTIMONIAL:“The VACON® 50X AC drives were chosen for their high UV resistance, fully sealed outdoor wash-down rating, and very good price for our entry level equipment… The competitors have similar products but none of them could match the requirements concerning UV and wash-downs as well as the price or ease of use that the VACON® X Series drive offers.”
