Omron G2RV Industrial Relay is now available with unique lockable test-switch

Designed for intelligent automation in the Smart Factory of the future – Omron has taken the G2RV industrial relay series to the next level. This new addition to the G2RV series of relays has a patented lockable test-switch mechanism that enables operators and engineers to test the functionality of a panel, machine or system, or to simulate an actuator when one or more modules are offline or have been removed. The test-switch has a rotating protection cover to prevent accidental operation, and also to enable operators to see the switch is protected when viewed from a distance (example, a hazardous environment).

The only genuine slim industrial relay

G2RV series is the only genuine slim industrial relay on the market. As a result, the G2RV offers many benefits to machine manufacturers and panel builders. The slim profile of 6mm wide, makes it ideal for compact panels and equipment where space is limited, yet it offers all of the durability and reliability required for industrial applications.

 

Based on our general purpose relay design, G2RV relays feature strong mechanical pins, which present large contact surface that ensures reliable connection and high conductivity between the socket and relay. The patented switch design with rotating protection cover is (almost) impossible to achieve in an adapted PCB relay.

Festo's New Product of the Month

Pnuematic Control Valves - VFOF/VBNF

For June 2014 Festo's product of the month is VFOF/VBNF Pneumatic Control Valves. The new VFOF is a compact unit which threads directly into the port of a pneumatic cylinder, and has three integrated control valves: a one-way flow control valve to control the speed of the cylinder, an air-piloted check valve to stop the cylinder movement for example in a vertical application, and a manual exhaust valved to vent the air from the check valve during maintenance. The VBNF has two integrated control valves: an air-piloted check valve with manual exhaust. Combining multiple functions into a single compact unit saves money, enables fast assemble and commissioning, simplifies ordering and logistics, and has a reduced leakage thanks to fewer interfaces.

Highlights include:

• 3 functions in one component; saves, time, money, and installation space
• Over 50% saving on space - with no loss on performance
• Energy-efficent thanks to fewer interfaces
• East to operate and install
• Universal Applications

Fit for Change

This past week AOP Technologies sales team went through an awesome distributor sales training program through Festo's Fit for Change. Not only did we grow as a group on a professional level, we gained so much knowledge to benefit our vendors as well as our customers. 

What we got out of this experience was some invaluable information that we as a whole team can use to train our sales force to be Consultative Sales Professionals. We are not looking for a hard sale, to push our vendor’s products, or to get our customers to purchase the product that will give us the greatest margin. We are here to break the barriers of listening to effectively hear your needs and consult with you to determine the best products to provide to you, for your projects specific needs.  

What I took away from this the most was, that our customers are our life line. We are here to serve them, consult with them, build lasting relationships, and really listen to what your needs are.  We would like to thank the Festo team for taking the time to open our eyes and help us become better Sales professionals.

Here at AOP Technologies, we are FIT FOR CHANGE.
