The main innovation showed by Elesa at IPACK-IMA concerns the electronic position indicators family.
The new wireless system, consisting of UC-RF control unit and up to 36 electronic position indicators DD52R-E-RF, is designed for an efficient manual spindle positioning.
DD52R-E-RF position indicators (Elesa Patent) are networked to UC-RF control unit via radio frequency (RF), no connecting cables are required for an easy and quick installation.
Current and target positions are transmitted via RF, from and to the control unit, facilitating machine set-up.
This system is particularly suitable for applications that require frequentformat changes, facilitating the correct adjustment of the position of machine parts, improving safety in the work environment. PLC doesn't allow the machine to start the productioncycle, thus avoiding production issues.
Elesa will exhibit its range at Hall 5 - Stand C02
