Control units

The mono and multiple synchronous control units are the performance elements for lifting columns and electric cylinders. The series MultiControl simplifies the selection and increases the diversity.  Comfortable operation with manual controls is as easy to realise as the integration in overriding control systems using a PLC module.

Transformer control 120 VA and 160 VA

One or two drives can be connected to the transformer control 120 / 160 VA. If two drives are used, they can be travelled in parallel but not synchronously. Using a hand switch with 6 functional keys it is possible to travel two drives separately or in common.

Connected to the Multilift or RKPowerlift “med”, the 160 VA-control is also applicable in the field of medical technology.

MultiControl mono, duo und quadro

The new series of controls „MultiControl“ can be used for controlling the RK lifting columns and the electric cylinders LZ. The versions duo and quadro can be linked by a BUS-system. This allows the synchronisation of maximal 32 drives.

The transformer control MultiControl mono is designed for single or parallel operation (no synchronisation) of maximal two lifting columns or electric cylinders.

The synchronous control MultiControl duo is able to travel two drives.
A standard temperature and duty cycle monitoring equipment protects the system from overloads.

The synchronous control MultiControl quadro is able to travel up to four drives.
A standard duty cycle monitoring equipment (to be enabled) protects the system from overloads.

it is possible to link the MultiControl duo and quadro to the PLC/PC data interface.

Control unit for LAMDA- drives

The LBM/LBC control is intended to operate maximal 3 LAMDA drives. It is suited for applications in the field of medicine and industry.

Synchronous control for LAMDA drives

The LBM/LBS-control is well suited for the load independently control of 2 synchronously running LAMDA drives for applications such as height adjustable tables, working platforms and office furniture.

Mobile and independent – MultiControl - control unit with battery

Many applications were not possible because of their power supply dependency.  With MultiControl accu, your devices will become mobile and can be adjusted by motor control at locations where power supply is available.

MultiControl accu has been developed for RK-Lifting columns and RK-Electrical cylinders and is available as version mono and duo.

PLC-/PC-Data interface

The series of lifting columns supports numerous work flows in the assembly and productions processes.
Special data interfaces have been developed to optimize these flows and to increase the automation rate. The interface enables the control of the column from different peripheral devices.  In this way, a lifting column can be operated by manual control to ensure an operator-friendly setting up of the unit.  After that, the further manufacturing process is controlled by a PC or a PLC system.

PC-Software RKLiftControl

By means of the PC software it is possible to carry out all functions of the hand control via the data interface. After the start of the program, an input field appears on the display that is easily to understand. Data can be entered using the PC keyboard or PC mouse.  
The lifting columns can be infinitely positioned using the arrow keys There is a selection of five different names available where again five memory positions can be saved.
