WHY AUTOMATE YOUR EQUIPMENT? Automate to improve your industrial process performance Automate to improve user performance Automate to improve your equipment performance

AUTOMATE TO IMPROVE YOUR INDUSTRIAL PROCESS PERFORMANCE Improving security and optimizing human capital Equipment automation aims to reproduce human gestures more quickly and efficiently. In industry, automation makes it possible to entrust machines with tedious or dangerous tasks, thus preserving users' health and safety. It also allows repetitive or low value-added tasks to be taken over. This offers employers the opportunity to reinvest human capital in more strategic tasks, as well as to promote professional fulfillment and innovation. Improving productivity and quality The automation...

AUTOMATE TO IMPROVE YOUR EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE Improving ergonomics and adjustability Improving versatility and functionality In a world where individuality is omnipresent, equipment users have increasingly high expectations in terms of personalization and comfort. Automated systems make it possible to meet these expectations by bringing adjustability and ergonomics to your equipment. Automated systems allow all users to adapt equipment to their personal use in a simple way, according to age, size, or mobility. In the medical sector, adjustable hospital beds, treatment tables, nurses’...

AUTOMATE TO IMPROVE USER PERFORMANCE Although automated equipment is also intended for household use, it is most often used in the workplace. For good reason. Health at work is now a major concern for employers and small business owners in all sectors of activity. How can health and safety at work be improved to increase performance and productivity? The answer lies in the ergonomics of environments and the adjustability of equipment. Improving well-being and limiting musculoskeletal disorders Adopting an ergonomic posture allows for better blood circulation and brain oxygenation, which...

HOW TO AUTOMATE YOUR EQUIPMENT EASILY? Technology and technical progress have made it possible to develop simple, reliable systems and easy to integrate solutions into any type of industrial, medical, or comfort equipment. These are electric linear motion systems. They can be operated by one or more electric linear actuators, but also by electric lifting columns or gear motors, which provide smooth and silent automated movements. WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC LINEAR ACTUATOR? An electric linear actuator is a device consisting of a motor that converts rotating motion into linear motion. It allows a...

WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC LIFTING COLUMN? An electric lifting column consists of an electric actuator integrated into a telescopic tube. The actuator provides the push and pull, and the telescopic tube provides guidance. Its design provides a reliable vertical movement that is sometimes more suitable for the height adjustment of certain industrial, medical, or comfort equipment. Please consult our complete guide to know everything about electric lifting columns. WHAT IS A GEAR MOTOR? A gear motor is a device composed of a motor and a gear reducer that allows the device to reduce the speed of the...

COMPLETE SOLUTIONS AND COMPLEMENTARY DEVICES Electric linear actuators, lifting columns and gear motors can be combined with a control box to create complete automation solutions that are easy to integrate. This allows for the synchronization of several devices, the programming of the system, and various adjustment, or memory options. The entire system can then be easily controlled with simple hand controls and can be enhanced with a wide range of accessories for even greater performance. WHY ADOPT ELECTRIC LINEAR ACTUATORS? Smart synchronization Compact & easy to integrate Long life...

ELECTRIC LINEAR ACTUATORS OFFER A HIGH LEVEL OF PERSONALIZATION Electric actuators can be designed according to precise specifications determining the speed, stroke, and device attachment. Other parameters and feedback can also be customized using the control ELECTRIC LINEAR ACTUATORS ARE MAINTENANCE-FREE Unlike hydraulic and pneumatic systems, electric actuators do not require maintenance, as they are free of any risk of leaks from pipes or compressors. This is an additional advantage when the device is out of reach (roof window, pergolas). Also, electric actuators allow the stroke to be...

ELECTRIC LINEAR ACTUATORS OFFER A HIGH LEVEL OF SAFETY Electric actuators can be supplied with various options that give them an extra level of safety and prevent equipment damage. For example, the "push only" feature, during the lowering operation, prevents a foreign object from being crushed when it enters the mechanism. It is found, for example, in leg lifts for recliners or adjustable back rests for medical beds.The quick-release system allows the actuator to be disengaged manually for quick flattening in an emergency. This option is particularly suitable for adjustable hospital bed...
