AS 1200

Clever – Fast – Reliable

The AS 1200 is a clever solution. Control, monitoring, and documentation are handled automatically to increase productivity and prevent errors.
Thanks to the special current density control mode, the AS 1200 enables fast and reliable coating thickness control, ensuring consistent quality, less rework, and greater process reliability.

 

AS 1200 Process Control
The AS 1200 impresses with simple and intuitive operation as well as a sustainable increase in productivity. The control algorithm optimized for the needs and requirements of decorative aluminum anodizing ensures the shortest process times. The industrial-grade graphic touchpanel supports intuitive operation. Additional process information is displayed clearly on the screen, as numerical values and as trend lines.

The AS 1200 digital interface facilitates integration into a modern Ethernet-based network. This enables seamless data exchange between production and order management. With optional functions, online production monitoring based on the digital interface becomes possible not only on PCs but also on mobile devices. More performance in even less space – this is another feature of the AS 1200 compared to the proven previous generation. Barely larger than the 9″ screen, the AS 1200 can be installed almost anywhere.

 

Features

  • Graphic color touchpanel for intuitive operation
  • Ethernet interface for data exchange
  • Target specification instead of process data specification, i.e., specification of coating thickness and A/dm² instead of voltage and time or current and time
  • Shortest process times based on the special STDR algorithm from our company
  • Expandability with scanner function, remote access, and mobile device functions

 

Industry 4.0
Do you want to know at any time how many batches you have already produced today? Do you want to provide your customer with a production report at the touch of a button upon delivery?

We support you on your path to Industry 4.0 by means of the industry-proven Ethernet interface. The optional mobile and remote access functions allow secure communication and thus data exchange from the process bath to your customer’s warehouse.

 

Interfaces

  • Analog (0 – 10 V / 0 – 20 mA / 4 – 20 mA)
  • Profibus
  • ProfiNET etc.

FAQ

What is the main function of the AS 1200?

The AS 1200 is an intelligent process controller specifically designed for the anodic oxidation (anodizing) of aluminium. It fully automatically controls current and voltage according to predefined parameters, ensuring consistently high coating quality.
Through automatic control, integrated data logging and automatic monitoring, the AS 1200 reduces manual intervention and scrap. Control accuracy and process repeatability increase significantly.
The AS 1200 controls current, voltage and time in accordance with the programmed recipes. It continuously monitors the actual values and makes corrective adjustments when deviations occur.
Yes, the AS 1200 is specifically designed for use with MUNK rectifiers from the ECO and Power series and communicates directly with them via standardized interfaces.
The AS 1200 features a clear display and an intuitive user interface. Recipes for different alloys can be easily saved and retrieved.
