Each Catalogue offers an extensive set of data attributes for each component. It includes its PDF specifications sheet, 2D symbol ISO 1219:2012 compliant, images, technical data, commercial information, 3D representation, simulation model(s), virtual test bench(es) and use cases showing that the component behaves according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Furthermore, a Product Configurator is also available, allowing the user to build the component’s part number as per Continental Hydraulics’ ordering code information. Once the configuration process is completed, a valid part number with all of its corresponding product characteristics is generated.

For instance, in the case of the valve products showed in the figure above, the options to choose the desired spool position, control option, flow characteristics and more, are available. The product information, technical data and symbol get updated according to the selected options.

The configuration tool is available in both catalogues of valves and pumps as shown below.

Users may simply drag and drop the desired component from the Catalogue into the Automation Studio™ Editor to build their circuit. The component simulation models can be directly used for the design of a hydraulic system, dynamic simulation or monitoring in Automation Studio™ and, ultimately, digital twin projects.

Developed and certified in accordance with Famic Technologies’ Quality System, the Continental Hydraulics Valves and Pumps Catalogues are now available to the entire Automation Studio™ users’ community. To learn more about the content of these catalogues, please download the Continental Hydraulics Valves brochure  and the Continental Hydraulics Pumps brochure. 

“The addition of Continental Hydraulics’ Catalogues makes available to the Automation Studio™ users’ community the product lines of a major hydraulic manufacturer well recognized in the industry. The collaboration between engineers from Continental Hydraulics and Famic Technologies made it possible to produce the first versions of Continental Hydraulics valves and pumps catalogues according to the expected quality criteria. We thank Continental Hydraulics team for their availability and the documentation they provided to make this achievement possible”, says Richard Gagné, Quality Manager at Famic Technologies Inc.
