New functionality and features for AUMA actuators

April 17, 2012 - PRLog -- Supporting a policy of continual development to pre-empt user requirements, additional features include an integral PID controller.

Providing added functionality, the integral controller is designed to facilitate a number of process control tasks without the need for additional control. Applications benefitting from the new feature include level control of decentralised reservoirs: filling level sensors connected to an AUMA actuator results in automatic and autonomous regulation by integral controls.

For nearly 50 years, AUMA’s electric actuators have played a crucial role automating industrial valves for process technology. A modular concept differentiates AUMA - recognised as beneficial by actuator adopters around the globe, the adaptable design gives flexibility to meet the specific needs of individual applications.

AUMA is a leading manufacturer of modular electric actuators, actuator controls and gearboxes for the automation of industrial valves worldwide. The company is approaching its 50th anniversary in 2014 resulting in five decade’s experience in R&D and manufacture of electric multi-turn and part-turn actuators. The SME manufactures in two German factories. Two service centres in Cologne and Magdeburg have been added to AUMA’s facilities to provide dedicated customer service support. A worldwide distribution and service network guarantees that customers in all continents are supported locally by an AUMA representative.
