Hydraulics are used for regulating power and movement for all types of machines and systems that require compactness relative to the work to be performed. The Norwegian market is, in many areas, more demanding than elsewhere in the world due to Norway’s leading position in technological development, for example, in offshore sectors with requirements for efficiency, automation, and safety
We have upgraded conventional proportional valves with Servi Addon Components (SAC), significantly improving their control properties.
SAC consists of electronic units with BUS communication, model ODC (Onboard Digital Controller) and OPAT (Onboard Profibus Atex Twinsolenoid), which can be mounted directly on the valves (OBE - On Board Electronics). The enclosures are robust and designed for use in harsh marine and offshore environments.
The SAC program includes an HPRS type (High Performance Range Sensor) sensor that is integrated into the valve. The HPRS contains an LVDT with extraordinary precision and 4-20 mA sensor signal.
Our customers are extremely satisfied with the OPAT and HPRS. Customer machines that already meet high standards of performance and precision double their performance in terms of speed and accuracy after such an upgrade. Also available with ATEX/IECEx certification.
Automation and the introduction of smart systems are growing like never before. New needs arise because laws, regulations, and directives change. Goals for increasing efficiency require upgrades and improvements to current systems and machines.
Therefore, we at Servi, in collaboration with our suppliers, developed this modular concept, which can be integrated into a compact “Onboard” solution.
