With the HEX@GRID multi-pump controller, all vacuum processes can be controlled centrally. "One benefit for users relates to connectivity, because with the new control system all vacuum components can be integrated into one system," says Yuri Vanderveken, the product manager responsible. The control platform has a variety of intelligent features that improve vacuum performance in addition to connectivity. Because a cleanly tuned vacuum system is easier and more cost-effective to operate and maintain, costs are reduced.
With HEX@GRID, customers can operate their systems from a single source, regardless of location: For example, when multiple components of a variable speed drive (VSD) vacuum system need to maintain constant pressure. The full connectivity of the HEX@GRID also allows updates and new functions to be downloaded directly. A notification function on the end device always keeps users up to date. Other benefits: Regular checks of the vacuum system become an easy finger exercise and calibration also becomes easier.
