Denmark’s OTM Avistryk gets retrofit from DCOS


DCOS Sweden AB has a contract to retrofit the existing Bosch Rexroth drive system at OTM Avistryk Herning-Ikast A/S in Ikast, Denmark, according to DCOS. The existing equipment consists of two Goss Universal 45 presses, with a total of twelve 4-high printing towers and two folders installed in early 2000. 
In the 1990s, Bosch Rexroth, with its brand Indramat, took part in transforming the graphic arts industry from traditional mechanical line shafts to shaftless drive transmission, DCOS points out in its release on the retrofit.
Many presses were equipped with the DIAX series of drives and the CLC motion controller, all based on SERCOS II fiber optics. 
In 2015 DCOS developed an industry unique retrofit concept for the DIAX platform, a step-by-step migration of the old DIAX system to a modern drive system platform, the DCOS release says. Gradually the old SERCOS II fiber optic system is removed and replaced with a standardized, non-proprietary, ethernet-based bus system. 
The retrofit will start at the end of August and will be competed in four weeks, according to DCOS.
