A new product to
serve your needs·
Product Bulletin
With their fully potted die-
cast zinc housings, the rugged
distribution boxes can with-
stand the harshest conditions.
Moreover, there are over
twenty variations – including
some for analog signals – to
facilitate optimal solutions
for a variety of applications
and scenarios.
Fully potted die-cast zinc housings
withstand both mechanical and
chemical stresses
Innovative, user-friendly design for
exceptional requirements
Over 20 different variations provide
flexible wiring solutions
These passive rugged distribution boxes mount
directly on machinery and combine signals
from sensors and actuators while transmitting
them via one integrated or quick-disconnect
control cable to the controller. Such decentral-
ized wiring offers significant cost advantages
compared to conventional distribution systems,
as they eliminate the need for terminal
blocks and cable glands. In addition, the use
of standardized M12 connection technology
significantly reduces the cost of installation
and maintenance, which enables quick plant
expansion or retrofitting of machinery.
Applications
These passive actuator/sensor distribution
boxes comprise of a metal housing, which
fulfills the highest demands for resilience
and durability. They are ideal for mechanical
engineering and plant construction and
provide for safe and efficient wiring of metal-
working machinery. Other applications include
welding lines, material handling systems, and
food and beverage machinery and equipment.
Your Benefits
These passive ASB-R rugged distribution boxes
provide for securely wiring actuators and
sensors in the most demanding environments.
The design of the fully potted die-cast zinc
housing withstands filings, welding sparks,
aggressive coolants and lubricants, and stands
up to the shock and vibration typically found
in harsh industrial environments. With more
than twenty variations to choose from, these
rugged distribution boxes provide excellent
value and help to increase the productivity
of existing or newly designed machines and
systems.
