Automation components in primary aluminium plants are continuously exposed to extreme heat, ultra-fine alumina dust and strong magnetic fields. This means that the requirements for crust breakers, feeder cylinders as well as pilot valves are very high. They need to be able to withstand these aggressive ambient conditions.

Reliability is the name of the game with the DFM. This impressive guided drive has the best price/performance ratio in the market and offers optimum guide characteristics, sturdiness and flexibility. It is reliable, adaptable and resilient – even with high torques.

Install and save:
In applications where chips or dust need to be removed or parts need to be dried and transported, the 2x 3/2-way solenoid valve VSVA with pulse function is a great asset. Not only does it reduce energy consumption, it also saves compressed air during pauses. When used as an air blast valve, the blast pulse is stronger than with a continuous air flow. This pays off within a very short time.

The new vacuum generator is ideal for highly dynamic, decentralised handling applications. The weight-optimised and compact design make the OVEL the perfect solution for integration directly on the front unit. This reduces the evacuation time and increases the operating cycles.

The bionic 3D Cocooner spins complex and equally stable lattice structures out of a glass fibre thread – freely in space, without any support. 

The artificial jellyfish have an intelligent, adaptive mechanism and are equipped with an electric drive unit. Their integrated communication and sensor technology plus the real-time diagnostics enable a coordinated, collective behaviour even in a limited space.
