The Lumberg Automation™ Brand Sets the Standard for Quality, Reliability and Service.
About Our Solutions
Today, more than ever, manufacturing
productivity depends upon seamless data
communication and automation systems.
Lumberg Automation has assembled one of
the most diversied portfolios for industrial
connectivity and distributed I/O systems for
control applications.
With the advancements in technology and
improved machine designs, industrial controls,
such as sensors, actuators, safety light
curtains, pushbutton switches and the like are
moving closer to the application.
Our Enclosure~less™ Concept
The Enclosure~less concept from Lumberg
Automation addresses these applications
with an entire suite of industrial hardened
connectivity and distributed I/O products.
Enhanced environmental characteristics,
modular designs, plug-and-play electronics
with quick-disconnect designs are all
integrated to increase speed of installation,
decrease troubleshooting and maintenance
while reducing the overall complexity of the
control application. These products provide the
optimal solution in machine and equipment
design and offer excellent opportunities and
benets to OEMs, system integrators, and end
users alike.
Easing the Design Process
Our system approach leads to decreased
time and money to develop complete
integrated connectivity solutions. Using our
Enclosure~less concept is one of the most
effective ways to dramatically reduce the
design time.
Re-Useable Solutions
OEM’s now have access to a set of standard
products designed around the concept that
everything is pluggable and interchangeable.
Having the exibility to re-congure or
expand an existing system without worrying
about customization is made possible with our
Enclosure~less concept. Most importantly, our
products are re-usable and can be adapted to
future designs or merely put back on the shelf
for future use.
Improved Installation Time with
Less Mistakes
A recent study by a group of European
manufacturers concluded that Enclosure~less
assembly costs save as much as 30 percent
over conventional installation methods.
These savings are realized through not only
the Enclosure~less concept, but by the
technology that is being employed. With a
modular design approach and plug-and-play
electronic features, less time will be spent
running down errors or replacing parts from
incorrect wiring.
Trouble-Shooting is Simplied
Troubleshooting circuits can be a long process,
especially when one is dealing with several
hundred termination points.
Many of our products have integrated LED
function indicators which provide a visual
notication that a circuit is functioning
properly.
By using products that have integrated LED
functions, mechanics and engineers alike can
quickly isolate and resolve the problem.
Testing Made Simple
OEMs can cost-effectively build and pre-test
a machine at their facility, disassemble and
transport it to an end user’s plant knowing
that everything has been tested. This is
primarily made possible through the reduction
of wiring terminations throughout the system,
which makes testing a much simpler and
quicker process.
Reliability is Maximized
Enclosure~less™ solutions can minimize wiring
errors because wiring is pre-manufactured
with quick-disconnect features. With less
manual wiring involved, there are fewer points
of failure.
Some studies suggest that a large portion of
system failures come from installation rather
than part failures. The decrease in errors
associated with pre-manufactured wiring
leads to an increase in the overall reliability of
the control system.
In the end, this helps speed installation and
commissioning, maintenance, troubleshooting,
and ultimately boosts a plant’s production.
Maintenance/Repair Time is Reduced
Maintenance technicians and operators no
longer need to access the control panel since
much of the maintenance and troubleshooting
can be done outside.
With the simplicity of wiring layout and
connections, end users can efciently isolate
problems and replace a starter or I/O locally,
rather than sorting through a complex
panel. The result is signicantly easier
troubleshooting and shorter Mean-Time-To-
Repair (MTTR).
Floor Space at a Premium
Control cabinets can occupy a substantial
amount of the production oor. The
Enclosure~less™ concept dramatically reduces
the need for that real estate, allowing
companies to leverage more of their facility.
Industries like semiconductor and
pharmaceutical manufacturing have realized
the benets of the On-Machine approach
for years, as their clean-room space is at a
premium.
