Electric Actuator News: First SIPOS SEVEN Shipment

NUREMBERG, Germany - Sept. 2, 2015 - PRLog -- SIPOS Aktorik's state-of-the-art facility in Altdorf, Germany - which was designed to offer flexibility to expand production, has easily absorbed the new SIPOS SEVEN alongside the established SIPOS 5 electric actuator and other valve control devices, including actuators catering for nuclear power installations.

Around 1,000 SIPOS SEVEN actuators featuring full colour display and multi-functional drive controller have been ordered for the Opole installation. Supported by AUMA Polska, the actuators are being supplied to Alstom who report to the scheme’s main customer, Polska Grupa Energetyczna.

SIPOS actuators will be commissioned across the two 900 MW units that form the basis of the new plant.

The SIPOS SEVEN series features a number of breakthrough innovations to enhance the flexibility and functionality of actuation technology. Pioneering advancements include large color display, simple ‘joystick’ control and USB interface. SIPOS SEVEN products include the Ecotron, Profitron and high precision HiMod.

Full Color Display: SIPOS SEVEN’s large, full color display is a first for an electric actuator. Designed to be easy to read, all essential information is visible and is configurable by the user in a variety of different languages. Simple animations provide step-by-step instructions for actuator set-up and operation, reducing the need for instruction manuals on-site.

Complete Control: A Drive Controller is also a pioneering feature enabling easy, intuitive actuator operation: controls are managed with a single, multi-functional ‘joystick’ which has no through-housing connections ensuring leak-tight operation. The Drive Controller simplifies use of the actuator in any orientation and multi-level access passwords ensure tamper free operation.

USB Interface: Another design breakthrough - process control set-up can be carried out without connection to a mains power supply using a laptop or USB battery. Set-up and spare parts management is also simplified using the USB port for cloning.
