Allient, the US-based designer and manufacturer of specialist motion, controls, and power equipment, will showcase a suite of new industrial technologies at this year’s Rockwell Automation Fair, held from 18th to 20th November at Chicago’s McCormick Place Convention Center.
The Company, listed on Nasdaq, will exhibit products from two of its business units: Allient Bellevue (Spectrum Controls), and Allient Milwaukee (TCI).
Spectrum Controls is set to debut its PointMax 5034 industrial I/O modules aimed at machine builders and automation suppliers. The 5034-IV8-SC is an eight-channel, 24V DC digital input module with input timestamping and counter datatype support, while the 5034-0V8-SC is its digital output counterpart, offering diagnostic detection and scheduled output functionality.
The division will also deliver a technical session titled “Optimal Solutions for OEMs, Machine Builders, and Solution Partners” on 18th November from 3:00–4:00 p.m., and again on 20th November from 10:00–11:00 a.m. Curt Simms, Vice President and General Manager of Allient Bellevue, said the new I/O line was designed to give manufacturers “the flexibility, precision, and reliability they need to tackle complex automation challenges.”
TCI, Allient’s Milwaukee-based power division, will highlight its HarmonicGuard Active Filter range, which covers current ratings from 30A to 700A. The unit will also demonstrate PQconnect, a technology offering EtherNet/IP integration and custom Add-On Profiles to add real-time monitoring to passive harmonic and sine-wave filters.
In partnership with Grace Technologies, TCI will lead a session on harmonic mitigation and thermal monitoring. Ashish Bendre, Vice President and Group President for Bellevue, Milwaukee, and Oshkosh, said that the Company’s power products “integrate seamlessly within the Rockwell ecosystem,” adding that Allient was extending EtherNet/IP connectivity—already present in its active filters—to passive filters via PQconnect.
