Combining energy efficiency and dynamic hydraulics

The E-HyCON hydraulic drive with two to four CAN interfaces closes a gap in automation systems: It drives highly dynamic multiple axis applications with control cycles of less than 1 ms, while simultaneously controlling pump power with a variable speed drive and using predictive strategies to anticipate demand. The proportion of wasted idle power can thus be significantly reduced for many industrial hydraulic applications, especially where there is a cyclical pattern of transient maximal current requirements.
