RD7 rotary actuator to automate changeovers wirelessly
The RD7 rotary actuator from Lika Electronic is designed to wirelessly automate changeovers and adjustment operations in production lines. It can cut annual setup time by 84% and easily replace existing position indicators and manual handwheels with minimum time and cost.
• Simplified commissioning and control via wireless communication
• Up to 32 units can be controlled by a single transceiver simultaneously
• No need for communication cables
• A variety of models and accessories ensures an ideal fit every time
Typical application sectors of the RD7 positioning unit are changeovers in packaging and bottling lines, filling machines, pharmaceutical equipment, and food processing machinery.
It is also ideally suited for the replacement of handwheels and position indicators when retrofitting outdated plants.
