November 22, 2021

DCS Control Techniques New High IP Drive 1 400

Control Techniques, part of the Nidec group of companies, has launched a new high IP variant of its Pump Drive F600, delivering class-leading flow control in a format suitable for use outdoors without cabinets and in demanding environments.

F600 High IP, part of Control Techniques’ specialist family of industry and application-specific drives, offers a full IP65 solution with identical features and functionality, dedicated for pump applications, as the standard model. The new High IP drive enables customers to use both standard and High IP drives in the same project, making project qualification straightforward and commissioning simple.

IP65 provides protection from total dust ingress and low pressure water jets from any direction, making F600 High IP one of the most protected drives on the market.

Big protection. Small installation costs

The F600 High IP drive is enclosed in a sturdy, protective yet light casing, providing a compact solution. This allows easy integration in harsh environments and wall mounting close to the motor, consequently reducing installation and maintenance costs as no cabinet is required, the cable lengths are shorter, and labour time is also reduced. A lot of attention has also been paid to usability and to maintain easy access to the included LCD keypad.

Free 5 year warranty

To share our confidence in the reliability of Control Techniques, the F600 High IP is covered by a 5 year warranty, at no extra cost. This is a testament to Control Technique’s exceptional track record for reliability, giving the customer total peace of mind.

Put to the Ultimate Test – Part 1: Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL

DCS Put to the Ultimate Test Part 1 Torsion Tests by HELUKABEL 1 400x275

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.

For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
