AUMA SEVEN

Launched in 2020, PROFOX follows a platform scheme. Butterfly and ball valves, gate valves or globe valves – the suitable PROFOX actuators can be produced for any of these valve types and form one single basis.

The PROFOX platform has been continuously enhanced. An Ex certified version, which considerably expands potential application options, will be showcased at the SPS. The Profinet interface, a further new feature, facilitates integration of the actuators into Industrial Ethernet systems.

The homogeneous scheme of the PROFOX actuators results in economic viability since installation, commissioning, device integration, maintenance and more follow the identical and simple concept. Commissioning is made within minutes using the AUMA Assistant App, which also allows the request and analysis of PROFOX device data. This is particularly useful to optimise device parameters for changing requirements or in case of service work.

The FOX-EYE as a clearly visible LED is the core and distinctive indication element for PROFOX. Different colours and blinking behaviour give unambiguous information on the device status. With the introduction of the explosion-proof version, the visibility of the FOX-EYE has been further optimised.

PROFOX can be integrated into traditional communication systems with binary and analogue signals but also in digitally communicating networks right through to the AUMA Cloud allowing the representation of the digital twins of PROFOX actuators.

Like all other AUMA actuators, PROFOX withstands even in the harshest of environments thanks to the excellent corrosion protection, the outstanding IP68 enclosure protection and the large ambient temperature range of –30 °C to +70 °C.
