In the field of industrial automation, progress is constant and inexorable. Technologies and management systems are improving, and new automated systems are being developed. Alvey Group has long participated in this process and the company says its motto “We Help You Adapt and Evolve” is not just a slogan but a commitment.

The company has announced a technological innovation that is says “may fundamentally change the way of supplying and installing conveyor systems and cut installation time by as much as 50%”. The new technology is named EvoLink.

The Evolink solution consists of programmable boards and supervisory software, which are designed to pilot components such as conveyors.

Says Alvey: “The advantages of Evolink include much faster installation, flexibility for later changes, simplicity of the programs, enhanced programming possibilities and current consumption measurement, to name but a few. If an Evolink board should fail, it can be easily replaced by a spare one which will program itself automatically upon connection.”

Inherent in the design of Evolink is safety, featuring a dual safety circuit allowing a safety stop to be connected to any board in seconds. When a safety stop is actuated, the precise location of this event is visible on the supervisory screen.

Evolink will be used for Alvey systems, but will also be commercially available for other system integrators.

Alvey will officially introduce EvoLink at this year’s CeMAT in Hannover from May 31 to June 3, 2016. Visit them there at Hall 27, stand F26.
