Mobile PRESSURE AIR SUPPLY: ELECTROPNEUMATIC UNIT
AEPN series
MOBILE AND INDEPENDENT
Our components are used in some of the most remote places and tackle the most diverse requirements. For example in <!EndFragment --> Sometimes in systems and equipment without a pneumatic supply, as is often the case in medical technology and driverless transport systems.
Our clamping and braking elements in particular provide enormous clamping forces with a low volume consumption and clamp just like our grippers or zero-point clamping systems as an NC variant when there is a pressure drop. The system bleeds as fast as lightning when the power fails thanks to our proven, integrated quick exhaust valve. Therefore, our electropneumatic unit enables the use of cost-effective elements in systems without large pneumatic units.
Your benefits
- Independent
- Light & compact
- Integrated sensing & extensible
- Checks
- Design included
- Cost-effective
COMPACT & INTELLIGENT COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY
The unit is specially optimized to our components with low air consumption and enables optimized and energy-saving use thanks to a dynamic pressure setting. A pneumatic pressure of between 4 and 6 bar can be selected, which is then reliably regulated and maintained thanks to integrated sensing. If you upgrade to pressure storage, this can help to reduce the process time even further.
LIGHT & POWERFUL
At the same time, the lightweight and compact unit means that it can be positioned close to the consumers and therefore allows very fast opening and closing times. Thanks to the simple control and 24 V technology, our product is designed for mobile units with battery supply, such as driverless transport systems. In addition, different process sequences can be realized thanks to two independently controllable valves.
DESIGN INCLUDED
When integrating the electropneumatic unit with our components, we will be happy to offer you a design of the switching times. For braking elements, we also offer you the calculation of the braking distance taking your application data into account.
Typical application areas:
- Controlling pneumatic products on driverless transport systems (also known as automated guided vehicles or AGVs)
- Clamping a medical table
- Use in autonomous assembly islands (primarily in the automotive industry)
- General: In systems outside of industry in which no pneumatic unit is available and purely electric components are too expensive
