High-tech for clean breathing air – networked extraction and filtering units

ESTEUP35

Industry 4.0 allows us to take a big step forward. From now on, optionally all extraction and filtering units from Fuchs Umwelttechnik are network-compatible. Operating as a control centre in our new control board, the innovative communication module converts every device into an Industry 4.0-compliant device. In a network with an Ethernet connection or a WiFi link, three options are available for communicating with the board:

  • using a simple client software solution with only a single connection between the PC and the unit
  • using a supervisor software solution for monitoring several units simultaneously
  • using a DLL library that contains all commands for communication with the units

This is ideal for customers wanting to implement their units in their own system.

In addition, the communication software offers:

  • Logging of operating times, alarm messages and warnings
  • Early information on overdue maintenance
  • Coordinated remote control of each unit

Even older extraction and filtering units can be retrofitted easily: With this new controller, the unit with the IP address, such as a printer, becomes network-compatible. Existing functions are retained. A remote client software solution can be used to perform some functions remotely. The plug-and-play board is available as a retrofit kit or can be ordered as standard equipment for new machines.

Laser World of Photonics 2025 – Strong appearance with future-oriented solutions
With a convincing appearance at the Laser World of Photonics 2025 , Fuchs Umwelttechnik sums up very positively on the whole. With more than 1,300 exhibitors, the leading international fair for photonics, laser technologies and optical systems offered a comprehensive round-up of the branch. The laser fair took place side by side with the Automatica which provided additional stimuli.

As an established equipper for the laser industry, Fuchs Umwelttechnik presented numerous new products and sophisticated extraction and filtering systems for air purification – developed specially for the widest variety of laser applications. Our company has stood for quality, innovation and sustainable solutions for more than four decades.

Fuchs Umwelttechnik's booth attracted large numbers of visitors for the duration of the fair. Professional visitors took the opportunity for intensive talks with our experts and obtained specific information about our systems – numerous guests to the Automatica also showed great interest in our solutions for mechanical engineering and robotics.

The positive feedback and the high demand endorse Fuchs Umwelttechnik in their claim to be the reference for air purification in laser processes. We would like to thank all our visitors and look forward to new projects and successful cooperation.
