Festo - SFAM
Measuring multiple values
Because the SFAM is a pressure and flow sensor in one, machines need only one component to measure multiple values. By measuring compressed air pressure, flow and consumption, among others, the SFAM provides full insight into the compressed air system. This insight is the first step in a more economical, safe and sustainable system.
Insight into air consumption provides opportunities to optimise maintenance and save on energy. Many pneumatic components are subject to wear and tear. As a result, air consumption will increase over time. Data on consumption and performance of machines provide a clear picture of actions that can be taken to keep producing efficiently.
Consumption
Wherever components and parts move, there is friction. This friction produces wear, causing leaks to increase over time. Also, seals are never 100% airtight; this causes leaks, even at standstill. To gain insight into this, consumption is often measured over a short period of time.
To get a complete picture of air consumption, it is important not to include irrelevant data in the assessment.
Coffee breaks, tool changes or breakdowns?
All examples where the duration can vary and disrupt the data considerably.
The SFAM is the all-in-one sensor
Simple connection
Via IO-Link, data from SFAM can be easily collected and connected to other components and platforms.
Modular
SFAM is modular to fit into MS air conditioning platforms of new and existing machines.

Dymotec - Open Lines in a ‘Perfect Storm’Read moreCOVID-19 and global component scarcity threw the industry into a ‘perfect storm’. Industrial automator Dymotec and Breemes kept the phone lines constantly open to tackle the scarcity problem together with creativity and proactivity. Dymotec in Olen (B) focuses on industrial automation spanning a broad spectrum of industries, from food and pharma to logistics and metal. The company has been around for 30 years and joined the Jeco Energies Group in 2022. Dymotec now has some 50 employees and also has a flexible shell with technicians, programmers and project engineers. Ever since its establishment, the company from Kempen has had a relationship with (the predecessors of) Breemes.

Enduro - Complete package for heavy-duty workRead moreEnduro Softslings builds machines for the manufacture of its own heavy lifting soft slings. For a new machine, it called in itsme for the full package: advice on the drives, supply of components and programming of the controls. “We completed the entire project in just over six months. That’s fast for such a specialised machine.”

Stimac - Good technical support for ever-changing specificationsRead moreIf the description for an automation project is clear from the start, it is easy for the industrial automation specialist to give it substance. In practice, however, specifications often change during the course of a project. This happened to Stimac/SNK when designing the control technology for a horticultural machine. For the problems that arose during the process, itsme quickly provided Stimac/SNK with a solution. “When a customer calls us, we respond immediately. So it’s nice to have a supplier like itsme who can also help immediately.”
