Drives and Motion Control
Our Drives & Motion Control portfolio features the Inovance MD290, MD520, and the high-performance MD880 — forming the core of our low-voltage Variable Speed Drive systems. From cost-effective Variable Speed Drive solutions for OEM machinery to advanced multi-axis drive platforms for heavy industry, our range covers general-purpose applications through to precision vector control and engineered systems.
With models spanning 0.4 kW to over 5 MW, these drives deliver exceptional motor performance, wide voltage flexibility, high reliability, and industry-leading communication and safety features. We supply both low-voltage and medium-voltage platforms, making us a trusted Variable Speed Drives supplier for industrial, commercial, and HVAC applications across Australia.
In addition to the flagship Inovance range, we provide a complete portfolio of Inovance and Midea HICONICS Medium Voltage Drives, designed to meet the needs of virtually every industrial sector.
The Hiconics Medium Voltage AC Drive family includes the HC1000, HC1000S, HC2000, and HC1000W, delivering 3.3–11 kV performance with high-efficiency multilevel power cell architecture, advanced control features, strong environmental resilience, cloud-based monitoring, and power ranges from ~150 kW to 27 MW — an ideal solution for heavy industry.
Across every product tier, our drive solutions offer high-value options compared to major automation brands, delivering strong performance with competitive pricing for industrial control equipment and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for VSDs, PLCs, and MV drives.
