Interactive catalogue features 2 and 3D models
The latest interactive catalogue from Roemheld, RIC now has the latest 2D and 3D CAD data.
It is mounted on a newly designed valve block that also enables the direct mounting of further hydraulic control elements.
An adaptation of the two-hand controls ensures easy realisation of manual coupling processes.
Due to the reduced number of hydraulic valves and their connecting elements the power unit has a simple and function-safe design, which guarantees highest process safety and optimum protection of the operator.
The reduction of components does not only provide safety-related advantages.
Less space is required for the hydraulic control elements and mounting expenses are reduced as no tubing is required. Request a free brochure from Roemheld UK ...
