Focus Industry ENERGY REBATES | 01/09 | The compact design of the ED02 pressure control saves valuable space. workpiece. This pressure control valve also permits a swift response when the command value changes. The machine control specifies an electrical command value, which the ED02 then converts into a pneumatic pressure. “Using the compact ED02 electropneumatic pressure control valve enabled us to save the customer installation space. Where formerly four individual valves and various pressure controllers were used, you will now find a single ED02,” reports Markus Heidemann from Ingenieurbüro Heidemann. “Together with Rexroth we have overhauled the pneumatic control sequence,” adds Kleine-Beek. “Applying the new products from Rexroth was particularly interesting for us. They are compact in design and we were also impressed with respect to their power density.” The compressed air for the complete pneumatic system in the machine is provided by an AS3 conditioning unit. “We are intentionally using lots of pneumatic components in the machines, as they offer an economical, robust and reliable option for the drives,” explains Kleine-Beek. The perfect finish In order to be able to machine different edges, the Advantage 60/70 is equipped with a swift exchange system. The Series CCI compact cylinder is used for controlling this power unit. The workpiece is transported by an eLINE-ball bushing guide. This is ideal for economic assembly as it is self-supporting. Thick and thin edges are reworked using a flat scraper. The perfect finish is achieved for all machined workpieces using a polishing machine, which gives the edges a final clean and polish — for a perfect piece of furniture.
