Announcing the release of ARGO-HYTOS catalogs in the simulated Automation Studio™ format (Zug, Switzerland) March 13th, 2023 After thoroughly testing the tool, ARGO-HYTOS chose Automation Studio™ as a support software for the designing of specific electro-hydraulic systems. The decisive factor for the decision was the simplicity with which technological simulation models can be configured without major compromises in accuracy. More recently, a collaboration agreement was signed between ARGO-HYTOS and the creator of Automation Studio™, Famic Technologies Inc., for the creation of ARGO-HYTOS’ entire portfolio of components in the Automation Studio™ format. Supported by the ARGO-HYTOS applications team in the Czech Republic, the validation of a first catalog of cartridge valves has just been completed. It is premiered to launch at the CONEXPO CON/AGG in March 2023 where ARGO-HYTOS and Famic Technologies will exhibit and present various new products to many customers – some of which the two companies have in common. The catalog will allow the entire Automation Studio™ community to have access to cartridge valve components of ARGO-HYTOS. These components are already pre-configured with all possible options, which include simulation models according to the performances described in the specifications of each product as well as 3D representations of the valves. The addition of these makes this catalog compatible with the manifold block module, allowing users to design and simulate their manifold block projects. As mentioned by ARGO-HYTOS: "Participation in the creation of this catalog is an important step for ARGO-HYTOS to understand the scope of such a project among Automation Studio™ users. Additionally, ARGO-HYTOS will be implementing this catalog to further support its sales and application activities". At Famic Technologies, the availability of this catalog in the software was long overdue. “The demand for this type of documentation had increased in recent years. Since access to these catalogs are now available on the Web, it becomes even easier for users to select their components and design their system quickly with Automation Studio™. The growing number of users who turn to Automation Studio™’s Manifold Block Module to initiate the design of their block is also a factor, which explains the interest of this catalog for users”, mentions Richard Gagné, Director of Quality at Famic Technologies Inc.
