AUTOMATICA 2012 indicating latest trends in process optimisation
Sensor-controlled EC servo screwdriver - now even better
DEPRAG presents its new generation of screwdrivers to its trade fair public
When, from 22 to 25 May, AUTOMATICA 2012, the 5th international automation and mechatronics industry show, opens its doors in the new Exhibition Hall in Munich, the key players in the automation solutions sector will be showing off their wares on 55,000 square meters of floor space. In the quest to manufacture higher quality products faster and more cost-effectively this unique exhibition will be showcasing a host of innovative solutions and the latest trends in product process optimisation.
In the screwdriving technology section, on stand 311, Hall A1, DEPRAG SCHULZ GMBH u. CO. will be presenting the latest generation of its successful MINIMAT®-EC servo screwdrivers. This 311E series of transducer-controlled screwdrivers, with its AST40 sequence controller, replaces the current EC-Servo system which has been proving its worth over many years in a wide variety of applications. Transducer-controlled screwdriver systems are used anywhere where there is a requirement for maximum process reliability. With highly sensitive screw assembly tasks such as those classified as category A in VDI Directive 2862, which specifies that where there could be a danger to life and limb, maximum precision is required from the screwdriving systems. They should be equipped with a direct measurement system. Traceability of the assembly results must also be assured. DEPRAG EC-Servo technology meets all these requirements.
Sales Manager Jürgen Hierold quoted American inventor Thomas Alva Edison: “If there"s a way to do it better - find it”. Explaining, he pointed out: “Our new 311E screwdriver series is a system that we have developed entirely in-house. It incorporates all the experience of EC technology that we have gained in the past, and improves on areas where our users wanted extra functions or general advancements.
The screwdriver series consists of three components: the 311E screwdriver, the sequence controller and a motor cable. The 311E screwdriver was developed and tested for heavy-duty industrial use. Robust, brushless, high-performance motors with resolver commutation provide reliable power to the screwdriver function. Signal transmission is fully digital via a single cable to the screwdriver. The connection plug to the screwdriver is appropriate for harsh industrial environments .
