RACOmatic® intelligent electric actuators

nutn/nanp ptumrt+t

The RACOmatic® expands the functionality of RACO electric actuators to ready-to-use, highly precise linear actuation drives. Mechanical components, software, and sensors have been perfectly matched to the equipment architecture and the relevant requirements. RACO thus provides a customized solution for any actuation profile across a wide range of thrust ranges and designs - all with the typical reliability you have become accustomed to with RACO products. When it comes to maximum process reliability and consistent manufacturing quality, the exact and fully reproducible control of movements...

We focus on the movement profile our customer needs for thrust, stroke, and speed. We evaluate the boundary conditions, such as the mass to be moved, the acceleration ramps, and the number of positions to be reached in a reproducible fashion and take the technical specifications for the equipment layout into consideration to determine the optimum drive solution. The modular design of our products is based on our tried-and-tested assembly system, which consists of components specially developed and tested by RACO. You can be certain that we achieve the optimum for you - lasting, at low cost,...

Integrated drive systems with RACOmatic® are pre-configured for your operational requirements and are ready for operation as soon as they have been connected. RACO analyzes and documents all pre-configured systems parameters and can restore them at any time.

All RACOmatic® components are integrated into the actuator with obvious benefits: Communication between the drive and the supervisory control system can be reduced to essential control functions. Susceptibility to failure decreases, and the availability of the actuation system increases. With the RACOmatic® system, reproducible dynamic movement profiles as well as speed and thrust control across the entire speed and thrust range can be achieved. In many cases, this eliminates the need for a gearbox. This improves the ratio of foreign mass inertia to own mass inertia in the drivetrain. We...

The sophisticated RACO sensor system provides the basis for extensive control functions and automated safety mechanisms. Together with the mechanical benefits of RACO electric actuators, a high level of operational reliability and easy maintenance are reached - one of the main reasons why renowned companies worldwide put their trust in RACO products. RACOmatic® offers continuous monitoring of the actuator system. Parameters such as temperature, voltage, and power consumption provide information about the condition of the actuator system. All safety features have been integrated into the...

Difficult environmental conditions test an actuator's capacity to meet its requirements. RACO is at home everywhere - even in places with extreme temperatures or where pollution and humidity challenge the survival of the actuator. RACO electric actuators can be used under extreme environmental conditions. This also applies when they are operated as an integrated system through the RACOmatic®. Whether an offshore drilling rig, a food processing facility, a steel plant, or a polar station - we know the underlying challenges of all operating conditions and are prepared to provide the...

EFFICIENCY FROM THE GROUND UP: ADVANTAGES OF PROJECT PLANNING WITH RACO When it comes to integrated actuator systems with the RACOmatic®, plant engineers benefit from RACO's expertise from the first moment of the project planning phase. The sizing of each component no longer has to be specified and calculated using a large number of components. RACO provides a functioning, optimum solution for the conventional hardwired I/O terminal control systems as well as for field bus standards such as PROFIBUS, PROFINET, CANopen, DeviceNet, and EtherCAT. Project planning time is reduced significantly...

Cost Benefits * Shorter, simpler planning phase * Reduced operating costs • Increased energy efficiency * Less time required for installation and initial operation • Downsizing and potential elimination of gearboxes • No wear on brakes * Longer actuator life expectancy * Longer lifetime of all driven mechanical components • Shorter unplanned downtimes • Faster diagnosis Operational Reliability • No uncontrolled overrun, no coasting • Brake does not have to be applied for an exact stop • Precise, reproducible movement profiles * Reduced susceptibility to failure * Monitoring of operating...
