Lifting column control
Rose+Krieger increases the intelligence of lifting columns
With the MultiControl II drive control unit, RK Rose+Krieger offers a powerful control unit for its broad portfolio of electric lifting columns.
With the premium version of the control unit in particular, several table and monitor levels can be moved independently of each other - despite different column types. Previously, several control units were required for this.
If different employees share a workstation, it is essential for optimum working ergonomics that it can be adapted to the respective height of the employee. Electric lifting columns in conjunction with a drive control system such as the MultiControl II from RK Rose+Krieger help to achieve this. The flexible, backwards-compatible and service-friendly control system is available as a "duo" or "quadro" version in three versions: Basic, Premium and Premium Customized.
The premium version can be used wherever different work, monitor and operating levels need to be moved separately, in parallel or synchronously using different types of lifting columns. Previously, each drive type required a separate control unit. Thanks to appropriately programmed drive group management, the controller recognizes the different drive types independently. This is practical, space-saving and cost-effective.
Collision detection" software function
The premium version of the control system also has integrated Smart Product Protection (SPP) collision detection. Regardless of loads and other environmental parameters, this detects obstacles in the upward and downward movement and stops in good time to protect the product. This is particularly advantageous for nested workstations where the individual working levels can get stuck. In addition to the functions listed, the MultiControl II variants offer a wide range of other features for special applications.
