Aventics is expanding its project range for vacuum technology. In August 2017, the company will launch the ECD series with four compact ejectors. The new products, some of which are IO-Link-capable, will reduce air consumption significantly.
The new ECD (Ejector Compact Display) series consists of four product versions: ECD-BV, ECD-SV, ECD-IV and ECD-LV. Equipped with a special nozzle, these compact ejectors ensure more efficient vacuum generation. When operated at the optimum pressure of 4 bar, air consumption is reduced by 15% compared to a product without this technology. The new ECD ejector series is suitable for handling metal and other non-permeable workpieces, as well as pastries and other slightly porous products.
Four versions for various workpieces
In the cost-effective basic variant ECD-BV, the compact ejector is equipped with two switching valves on the top of the product. In contrast to the basic variant, the ECD-SV (Smart Version) has an LED display that operators can use to directly read the vacuum values. This version also comes with a system monitoring function, an electric air economizer, and automatic drainage, and is suitable for use with a wide range of workpieces.
The ECD-IV compact ejector is equipped with a digital display that shows all of the values as numbers. Operators can manually enter the switching point and hysteresis via the user-friendly display. The ECD-IV also comes with an IO-Link connection for bi-directional communication with all common fieldbus systems and offers remote parameterization and diagnosis. Errors in the system can be detected early thanks to detailed condition monitoring, enabling forward-looking maintenance to assess and optimize system performance.
With its ECD-LV (Large Version) compact ejector, Aventics offers a fourth variant which is comparable to the intelligent version ECD-IV, but enables higher performance.
