New Weber SLIM-09 Controler

Written by Craig Frazee

Weber USA is proud to announce an update to the successful SLIM-08 controller which has been available for some time. The new updated system brings all the benefits of the older 08 control package but with many upgraded features: nnrn

nnrn

The SLIM09 is also part of the new ECO-TORK product range and is designed to allow replacement of expensive to operate, noisy and maintenance intensive pneumatic prime movers such as one-shot screwdrivers, air motors and other devices requiring air and oil. nnrn

The system has a clean new look while maintaining backwards compatibility and high reliability for use in high cycle fastening applications. nnrn

nnrn

The new form factor also now offers either monochrome or full color HMI (human machine interface) and provides even more feedback to the operator than was available from the older 08 product line. nnrn

nnrn

These ‘customer driven’ features bring a new level of capability to the controller which now has higher performance output from the motor packages, higher cycle capability, lower ‘current’ usage (energy savings) and has the ability to accommodate various future upgrades due to the capability of internal components used. See your Weber Sales Manager for more details on this future expandability. nnrn

nnrn

rn The new SLIM09 products underlying “Value Proposition”, is the bold new features, the advanced functionality and a cleaner package all available at the same price as the old 08 system for the first 6 month from launch Date ( November 1st 2010 ). rnnnrn

rn nnrn

rnFeatures: nnrn

rn nnrn

rn3rn – Powerful ‘high cycle’ servo motor capacities available nnrn

rn4 – Gearbox combinations for various Torque and speed ranges nnrn

rnNew HMI Touch Screen interaction with system settings, strategies and variables changes. nnrn

rnBackwards compatible with SLIM08 control architecture nnrn

rn220V AC standard with 110V AC optional for greater output torque/speed and less current usage. nnrn

rnExtended I/O capability

Flat Finish Extrusionnnrn nnrn

rn Many customers are requesting that mk North America incorporate flat finish profiles into their designs, stating obvious reasons such as cleaner look, no areas for debris to collect and build up, and overall finish. The closed t-slots also make the frame appear stronger because of the solid look. The response from customers has been great, and the flat finish profiles are rapidly moving into some of our top selling shapes.nnrn

rn rn rn rn rn

rn Traditionally used by medical companies for the cleanliness, we are seeing a trend of many manufactures switching to these profile shapes. Besides the medical companies, we are seeing orders from pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, consumer packaged goods, and electronics companies purchasing these shapes. Please follow link to see all these shapes, including several new shapes that are now stocked at mk. This link includes a PDF that can be emailed to your current customers or accounts that you are targeting. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.nnrnnnrn This is a medical device cart made with flat finish extrusions. Featuring a lab resin top surface and swinging doors with interior shelf for storage.

rn The clean rooms shown in this picture are made with flat finish profiles. The use of the flat finish profiles ensures that dust and debris, as well as other particulates, will not have an area to collect and build up. This unit also features sub frames dimensioned to fit HEPA filters. This makes customer installation and maintenance of these filters an easy task.
