GEFRAN offers a wide range of sensors, indicators and controllers for the chemical pharmaceutical industry, suitable for processes that demand reliability, precision, diagnostics and data transmission to supervisory units. There are many complete solutions for temperature control, with configurable acquisition inputs and outputs for electric heaters, fans, inverters, proportional or servo-controlled valves. Parameter recipes can be managed digital communication with PLCs and other control units. Heat profiles can also be run. The wide range of products also includes controllers and programmers with advanced functions such as cascade and ratio controls. The components are also ideal for plant expansion and maintenance, thanks to their great versatility in terms of possible installations, materials used for sensing elements, measurement ranges, resolution and sampling speed, types of output signals, digital communication and protocols.
GEFRAN SOLUTIONS FOR METALWORKING
FEEDER ROLL The Feeder Roll is equipped with QL and HQL asynchronous motors (IP54 version) or HQLa asynchronous motors (IP23S version) complete with incremental encoder. In highly dynamic applications, the Feeder Roll may be equipped with an SBM brushless motor and XVy-EV servo drive. The motor is powered by an XVyA-EV servo drive that receives the encoder on the metric wheel as well as the motor encoder. The Feeder control system is fully integrated in the drive The drive is connected to the machine PLC via CANbus, GDnet, DeviceNet or Modbus.
