Focus: Work Ergonomics and Cleanroom Compatibility

RK Duoline Clean: RK Rose+Krieger offers the RK Duoline Clean linear axes for cleanroom environments in sizes 60 and 80, optionally with ball screw drive (rear) or belt drive (front).

Multilift II and Multilift II telescope: The electric lifting columns Multilift II (r.) and Multilift II telescope (l.) are true Plug & Work solutions for synchronization applications, for example in height adjustment of workbenches.

RK Monitor Mount: The RK monitor mount for monitors and touch panels up to 25 kg offers many degrees of freedom and features a vibration-resistant, lockable tilt adjustment in 15° increments.

RK Rose+Krieger is once again represented at this year's all about automation trade fair in Friedrichshafen. From June 9th to 10th, 2015, the specialist for linear, profile mounting, connection, and modular technology will present two products in Hall A2/Stand 303: a new monitor holder and the lifting column product family Multilift II and Multilift II telescope, which can significantly improve the ergonomics of industrial workplaces. Another highlight of the trade fair appearance is the certified profile linear units of the RK Duoline Clean series, designed for cleanroom use.

The RK Monitor Holder – flexible and individually adjustable

The new monitor holder is used, among other things, for ergonomic alignment of navigation devices in construction and agricultural machinery or, for example, of control, operation, and display devices on packaging machines, conveyor lines, or in climate technology. The holder is suitable for monitors and touch panels up to 25 kg and offers many degrees of freedom. On the device side, a choice can be made between VESA standard mounting holes 75 mm and 100 mm, as well as a universal mounting surface. It is compatible with RK connection technology and the BLOCAN® profile system but can also be mounted on any other profile or any wall.

Lift columns Multilift II and Multilift II telescope – Plug & Work for synchronized applications

The electromechanical lift column Multilift II will be available as a series from April. The uniquely flat lift column achieves lifting forces of up to 3,000 N and is suitable for synchronized adjustment tasks in custom and series machine construction as well as for height adjustment of assembly worktables in ergonomic workplace systems. Specifically for this purpose, RK Rose+Krieger offers the Multilift II in a synchronized version in a pre-assembled Plug & Work package.

With the telescoping version of the Multilift, the Multilift II telescope, RK Rose+Krieger responds to increased customer demands for two-legged table systems. The new lift column meets the ergonomic standard for work tables (DIN EN 527-1:2011) and is characterized by an optimal installation lift ratio: The Multilift II telescope, with an installation size of 560 mm and a lift height of 650 mm, also withstands pressing forces up to 3,000 N. This is currently unique on the market in this design.

Linear axes for cleanroom environments – RK Duoline Clean

The new series includes profile linear units for cleanroom applications. A total of four spindle-driven and four belt-driven variants of the RK Duoline Clean in sizes 60 and 80 have been successfully tested according to EN ISO 14644-1. They received certification for cleanrooms of worldwide classes 1 (RK Duoline Clean 60 SU with negative pressure connection at 0.5 m/s) to 5 (RK Duoline Clean 80 Z without negative pressure connection at 0.5 m/s). The cleanroom suitability of the linear axes was demonstrated in tests at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation IPA in Stuttgart.
