Comprehensive spare part sets are available for your automation solutions. We also stock individual spares of high-use components that are prone to wear. This offering includes core, supplementary, and discontinued products..
As pneumatic technology requires far less pressure than that needed by hydraulic applications it is used more often in automation applications for industry.
Aventics, a leading manufacturer of industrial pneumatic drive and control solutions, distributed and serviced by Tectra Automation, has integrated electronics into its pneumatic range. Examples of this integration include the ED series electro-pneumatic pressure regulators and AES modular electronics for the advanced valve generation.
This range of pneumatic products provides the functionality needed for machine networking, making them ideal for use in industrial automation applications.
Bosch Rexroth’s Sytronix series combines the best properties of both hydraulic and electric systems, enabling industrial automation of steel or iron constructed valve controls. It decentralises the intelligence in the electronically controlled device, to achieve effective automation.
Bosch Rexroth has also integrated its electrohydraulic expertise into its IndraMotion MLC control solution software, opening the door for industrial automation applications.
This opens the door for industrial automation applications as the technology includes special characteristics that are intrinsic in fluid technology to the point where it replaces elegant programming with parameterisation.
