Automation Systems from Siemens

The new I/O system in IP65/IP67 enables powerful I/O modules and existing valve terminal interfaces to be integrated in the most important host systems. Based on the innovative AP system communication from Festo, CPX-AP-I ensures continuous communication from the workpiece to the cloud – tailored to your needs!

With a flow rate of 10 – 40 m³/min and pressure differentials from 0.3 to 1.1, as well as a selection of motors ranging from 22 to 75 kW, the innovative EBS 410 sets new standards in terms of energy efficiency, space-saving design and automation. The SFC version is equipped with a frequency converter and a synchronous reluctance motor – a slip-free design that combines all the advantages of high efficiency permanent-magnet motors with those of robust, service-friendly asynchronous motors. Thanks to variable speed control, the flow rate can be adjusted as required and a control range of 1:4 is achieved, which allows exceptionally dynamic operation.

The new generation of the proven LDA high-level cordless torque wrench also adapts flexibly and quickly to a wide variety of bolting cases. Equipped with a double patented torque control and lithium-ion battery technology, it works powerfully and continuously.

Build your complete motor control solution to protect and control your motors in 3 easy steps. Select your desired technology: Variable speed drive, soft starter or direct starter. Then select your engine requirements and you will get the combination of products for your configuration in a standard environment.

Good feedback enhances every result. The same applies to the itsme Group’s new web platform for which customers shared their experiences during the testing phase. One of them is Jurgen Janssens of ECJ Automation from Gierle, Belgium. At the request of itsme Breemes he went through, and tested the platform before it went live. “Functionality comes first. And that has been well thought out with this platform.”

The smelting of aluminium requires breaking through a thick crust of cryolite, countless times in a row, at high temperatures. For Damco Aluminium Delfzijl Coöperatie \(Aldel\) therefore, using an ordinary cylinder was not an option. This in contrast with the new crust-breaker. Designed by IMI Norgren and supplied by itsme, this cylinder will last for years and is good for many breakings through.

Headquartered in Sint-Truiden, Belgium, with production lines in Germany, Mexico, China and Romania, VCST is one of the world’s largest manufacturers and suppliers for the automotive industry. It is part of the Belgian BMT Group, with business in various industries, in all corners of the world.
