PHD, Inc. is thrilled to announce the release of the new ERDP Remote Drive, a servo-actuated pneumatic drive device. This new technology from PHD simplifies the electrification of pneumatic actuators in a closed-loop system, utilizing standard air lines to connect to one or more pneumatic actuators. The Remote Drive enables the power system to be located near the point of use, offering an easy-to-setup, and user-friendly solution.
The ERDP Remote Drive is designed to deliver substantial energy savings compared to traditional compressed air systems. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to:
- Automated guided vehicles (AGV)
- Welding cells
- Crossbar robotic feeding
- Medical and hospital equipment
- Packaging
- Robotic End of Arm Tooling (EOAT)
- Assembly cells
- Food processing
- And many others
Key Benefits of the ERDP Remote Drive:
- Increased Energy Efficiency: Significant energy savings
- Maintained Force: Ensures consistent force to the pneumatic actuator
- Weight Reduction: Removes the motor's weight from the actuator
- Multi-Actuator Powering: Powers multiple pneumatic actuators simultaneously
- Easy Setup: No FRL or valves required
- Quiet Operation: Reduces noise for a quieter environment
