Control and installation technology
System configurator presented at SPS
The new system configurator and the A-Tec motor starters were the focus of LQ Mechatronik-Systeme's SPS trade fair appearance this time.
LQ Mechatronik-Systeme has set itself the goal of reducing complexity in control and installation technology. The A-Tec motor starters, which combine various components into functional units, are an appropriate focus. A-Tec motor starters meet the demand for decentralization in mechanical and plant engineering and are designed to reduce the number of individual components.
The focus of the trade fair was also on the new system configurator, which starts at the design stage. Based on the configuration of the exhibit on display (conveyor belt), interested visitors to the SPS stand were able to get an idea of the features of the software developed by LQ.
The LQ products X-Tec connectors and W-Tec power cables also attracted the attention of visitors to the stand. The compact X-Tec / W-Tec15 connector for high power is a cost-effective alternative to the widely used, large rectangular connector.
