Fluid Power Solutions Are Key Element Of HANNOVER MESSE USA

ARGO-HYTOS Group, Easylift of North America and HYDAC Technology Corporation Plus Other Innovators To Showcase Connected Hydraulic & Pneumatic Components And Systems

Chicago - The Integrated Automation, Motion & Drives USA (IAMD USA) trade show at HANNOVER MESSE USA 2018 will showcase how the fluid power industry has rapidly evolved, merging digital capabilities into hydraulic & pneumatic components and systems. Launched at HANNOVER MESSE 2018 in Hannover, Germany, the IAMD event supports the latest advancements in the fluid power industry by demonstrating digitally connected fluid power products to international distributors and system integrators. IAMD USA co-located with IMTS 2018 will showcase these new industrial hydraulic & pneumatics products to North American manufacturers and equipment distributors who attend the trade show in Chicago this September. IAMD USA will feature a host of connected linear motion and gear technology; hydraulic pumps, motors, drive units, and actuators; hydraulic assemblies and systems; hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders and valves; control and regulation systems; sensors and monitoring devices on the show floor.

"IAMD USA attendees who are eager to learn more about the evolving digitization of the fluid power industry will preview the latest Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connected solutions during the shows premier at HANNOVER MESSE USA," said Christian H. Kienzle, CEO of ARGO-HYTOS Group.
During IAMD USA 2018, ARGO-HYTOS Group will showcase its new easy-to-use and high added value oil condition technology for predictive maintenance. The companys connected particle measurement detectors, counters and oil condition monitors quickly identify problems and reduce downtime on the factory floor. Additionally, the companys digitized sensors can quickly detect changes, wear and damage, reducing operating costs of machinery and equipment.
ARGO-HYTOS will launch its EXAPOR®MAX 2 hydraulic filtration element technology for the wind power industry at IAMD USA and will demonstrate its OBE (On-Board Electronics) proportional valve technology to correct nonlinear behavior of valves.
"Condition monitoring is the driver of our products," said Kienzle. ARGO-HYTOS has developed approaches through sensors that can collect and provide big data to end users across a variety of industries that need to control various components and systems. "The biggest benefit of our networked products is the optimization of tools, giving users a better value proposition for production. We look forward to demonstrating how the fluid power industry is rapidly adopting digitization and to presenting the latest trends in condition monitoring," added Kienzle.
Miniaturization Is A Growing Trend
Bansbach Easylift® will showcase its new easyE-line of electric linear actuators. The linear layout of the motor, gear and spindle in the easyE® line, provide a very slim design for installation. These actuators fit into nearly every application with outer diameters of 35, 50 and 60 mm. Synchronized adjustment and battery powered mobility also are options. An application of the easyE actuator in the automotive industry is the special handbrake function in handicap-friendly cars. The actuator can withstand specific temperatures and is connected to an AMP switch.
Bansbach Easylift® will also demonstrate its new micro-hydraulic cylinders for compact devices. "Miniaturization is a growing trend in the hydraulics industry, especially the rise of micro-hydraulics directly related to robotics," said David Vickery, vice president of product development at Easylift. Because of the growth opportunities in this area, Easylift is launching micro-hydraulics products that can be customized to fit into very small robotic devices. "As the adoption of IIoT expands, connected miniaturized devices will continue to become more prevalent in industrial automation and motion control processes," added Vickery.
Smart Sensors For Preventative Maintenance
HYDAC Technology Corporation plans to launch new products at the IAMD USA 2018 trade show, including its new electronic pressure switch EDS 820 with IO-Link communication interface. The EDS 820 is a compact electronic pressure switch for relative pressure measurement in the high-pressure range. The device has two PNP transistor switch outputs, one of which can serve as the IO communication output. The IO-Link interface enables bidirectional communication between the device and the control, offering parameterization and cyclical transmission of process and service data.
"The pressure switch series EDS 820 with communication interface IO-Link has been specially designed for connecting sensors in automation systems," said Minh Dao, product manager of electronics at HYDAC. Typical fields of application for the IO-Link line are machine tools, handling and assembly automation, intralogistics and packaging. "By implementing the IO-Link capability, manufacturers can monitor and conduct preventative maintenance on the sensor turning it into a smart sensor that can send data to the network and to the cloud," added Dao.
HYDAC Technology will also showcase HYDACLab HLB1400 for oil aging/oil condition, Aqua sensor-AS 1000 for humidity temperature in oil, HPT 500 for differential pressure transmitters and ETS 3200 compact electronic temperature switch with a 4-digit display that has an integrated 18 mm temperature probe and can be screwed directly inline or into a hydraulic block. ETS 3200 offers different output models with one or two switching outputs, optionally with an additional analog output signal for a variety of applications.
