and security by uniformly tailoring hardware
and software to each other. This
empowers operators to significantly
reduce the complexity of their systems
and purchase only what they actually
need. The platform also supports integration
of existing systems, enabling
lower operating costs and very high
security of investment. The company
works directly with users to jointly select
the appropriate hardware and software
components to install in plants. Existing
solutions from this company can continue
to be used or may be upgraded
to the latest generation. By migrating to
this platform, plant operators can fulfill
essential safety standards. The proprietary,
self-contained operating system
of the safety controllers minimizes the
risk of cyberattacks. Backward-compatible
software and hardware updates
make the system highly future-proof
and keep plant safety and security
constantly up to date. Hall 11.1, Stand

Oil-free and space-saving
air compressor
The new Contain-Air compressed-air
system (photo) provides a source of oilfree
compressed air. Integrated inside
a standard shipping container, these
powerful yet compact units feature a
CSG- or DSG-series rotary-screw compressor
equipped with an integrated
rotation dryer. Since the container can
be flexibly positioned anywhere on
company property (a flat surface is the
only requirement), there is no need for
investment in a separate compressor
room. These compact compressed-air
stations also deliver oil-free compression
with a pressure dewpoint down to
-30°C. Hall 8.0, Stand A4 - Kaeser

The launch of explosion-proof
variable-speed actuators
This company has launched explosionproof,
variable-speed valve actuators
(photo) for use in potentially hazardous
environments. The new SAVEx actuators
for open-close duty and SARVEx
multi-turn actuators for modulating
duty, combined with intelligent ACVEx
actuator controls, provide full control
of motor speed. Variable speed offers
significant advantages for challenging
valve-control tasks, since it allows
the optimum operating speed to be
selected for each change of valve position.
High positioning accuracy and
optimized setpoint control considerably
increase the effectiveness of pressure
control valves in gas pipelines, for example.
Pressure surges and cavitation
effects in the pipeline can be avoided
by using speed profiles. Actuator speed
can also be controlled by an external
signal (either 4-20-mA analog or
0-100% digital) to take full advantage
of additional control variables or algorithms.
A further option is speed synchronization
between two actuators.
They are available in six sizes, covering
torques up to 1,000 Nm. Speed ranges
include 6-60 rpm, 12-108 rpm and
24-216 rpm. Hall 8.0, Stand C23 -

Ensure security of medicines with
this tamper-evident labeler
This company's new tamper-evident
labeller (photo) complies with the European
Falsified Medicines Directive
(FMD) 2011/62/EU, which will become
mandatory for the E.U. pharmaceutical
industry beginning next year. The new
labeler system ensures tamper-proof
security of cartons. As an option, a
laser or inkjet printer and a vision system
of any brand can be integrated
to provide each carton with a unique
identification for track-and-trace functionality
and serialization. The machine
is operated with a user-friendly humanmachine
interface (HMI). The flexible
system handles cartons ranging from
50 to 220 mm in width, 15 to 120 mm
in height and 40 to 120 mm in length.
A small footprint allows the machine to
fit into any production area easily. Hall
