DIAKONT's main product lines include high-precision electric roller screw servo actuators, with the DA Series (DA99, DA78, DA108, DA45, DA99 Ex, DA140 Ex) being prominent examples. The DA99 servo actuator for spot welding offers a peak force of up to 22,000 N and a maximum speed of 300 mm/s, boasting an exceptional lifetime of over 30 million weld cycles. The DA45 is a smart actuator for industrial automation, providing a maximum force of 500 N, a speed of 500 mm/s, and high positioning accuracy of 0.1 mm, featuring an integrated servo drive. The DA140 Ex is an explosion-proof roller screw actuator for hazardous environments, applicable to gas and steam turbines, with a rated force of 36,000 N, a peak force of 60,000 N, and an operating temperature range from -40°C to +120°C. These actuators are manufactured using an in-house developed CAD software-based roller screw design system and Industry 4.0 standard smart factory manufacturing technologies.DIAKONT'smainproductlinesincludehigh-precisionelectricrollerscrewservoactuators,withtheDASeries(DA99,DA78,DA108,DA45,DA99Ex,DA140Ex)beingprominentexamples.TheDA99servoactuatorforspotweldingoffersapeakforceofupto22,000Nandamaximumspeedof300mm/s,boastinganexceptionallifetimeofover30millionweldcycles.TheDA45isasmartactuatorforindustrialautomation,providingamaximumforceof500N,aspeedof500mm/s,andhighpositioningaccuracyof0.1mm,featuringanintegratedservodrive.TheDA140Exisanexplosion-proofrollerscrewactuatorforhazardousenvironments,applicabletogasandsteamturbines,witharatedforceof36,000N,apeakforceof60,000N,andanoperatingtemperaturerangefrom-40°Cto+120°C.Theseactuatorsaremanufacturedusinganin-housedevelopedCADsoftware-basedrollerscrewdesignsystemandIndustry4.0standardsmartfactorymanufacturingtechnologies.
In the nuclear solutions sector, DIAKONT offers radiation-tolerant camera systems (D40, D70, Proton 3.0 HD PTZ) and robotic systems. The D40 camera features 200 MegaRad radiation tolerance and 600+ TVL high-resolution video, with a compact 1.58-inch diameter, making it ideal for inspecting confined spaces within reactors. The Foreign Object Removal System (FORS) is a radiation-tolerant robotic system integrated with the D40 camera, utilized for identifying and retrieving foreign materials in reactor cavities and spent fuel pools. The company also provides underwater robotic decontamination services for various submerged surfaces in nuclear power plants, including reactor refueling cavities, dryer-separator pools, and suppression pools.Inthenuclearsolutionssector,DIAKONToffersradiation-tolerantcamerasystems(D40,D70,Proton3.0HDPTZ)androboticsystems.TheD40camerafeatures200MegaRadradiationtoleranceand600+TVLhigh-resolutionvideo,withacompact1.58-inchdiameter,makingitidealforinspectingconfinedspaceswithinreactors.TheForeignObjectRemovalSystem(FORS)isaradiation-tolerantroboticsystemintegratedwiththeD40camera,utilizedforidentifyingandretrievingforeignmaterialsinreactorcavitiesandspentfuelpools.Thecompanyalsoprovidesunderwaterroboticdecontaminationservicesforvarioussubmergedsurfacesinnuclearpowerplants,includingreactorrefuelingcavities,dryer-separatorpools,andsuppressionpools.
For energy services and pipeline inspection, DIAKONT has developed the RODIS crawler for robotic in-line inspection (ILI) services and the Stingray robot for storage tank inspection. The RODIS crawler is a robot used for real-time detection and measurement of internal and external metal loss, corrosion, and other anomalies in gas and liquid pipelines. This robot integrates advanced non-destructive examination technologies such as EMAT UT (Electro Magnetic Acoustic Transducer Ultrasonic Testing) and laser profilometry systems to deliver high-precision data. The Stingray robot provides internal floor and shell condition data for above-ground storage tanks without requiring the removal of flammable sludge, thereby enhancing inspection efficiency.Forenergyservicesandpipelineinspection,DIAKONThasdevelopedtheRODIScrawlerforroboticin-lineinspection(ILI)servicesandtheStingrayrobotforstoragetankinspection.TheRODIScrawlerisarobotusedforreal-timedetectionandmeasurementofinternalandexternalmetalloss,corrosion,andotheranomaliesingasandliquidpipelines.Thisrobotintegratesadvancednon-destructiveexaminationtechnologiessuchasEMATUT(ElectroMagneticAcousticTransducerUltrasonicTesting)andlaserprofilometrysystemstodeliverhigh-precisiondata.TheStingrayrobotprovidesinternalfloorandshellconditiondataforabove-groundstoragetankswithoutrequiringtheremovalofflammablesludge,therebyenhancinginspectionefficiency.
