Fifty years of experience and vast know-how, a company that puts client needs at the forefront and constant technological innovation make Gefran a leader in the sector of components for automation and control systems for industrial processes.
Our customers buy Gefran products because they have the guarantee of expert advice and the best possible partner in terms of sensors, components, systems, drivers and inverters.
This regular contact with customers and the high level of expertise are the guarantee of offering complete and customized products and solutions.
Collaboration with leading research centers and universities in Europe, as well as regular R & D investment allow the group to develop new technologies to meet market demand.
Gefran Group activity is divided into four main areas: sensors, automation components, systems and motion control.
Thus, Gefran can offer high technology products and fully integrated systems, entering the market as a single source supplier.
SENSORS
Fundamental components for process control, Gefran's sensors measure main variables such as temperature, pressure, position and force. The main element of the sensors is produced in cleanrooms, in environments protected from any kind of pollutant and equipped with highly technological work and control instruments.
COMPONENTS
Three product lines are dedicated to indicating and controlling process variables: static groups, regulators and electronic indicators. A range of constantly evolving devices capable of providing innovative solutions and responding to the needs of process optimisation and intelligent management of energy consumption. These devices complete the range of support services offered and faster delivery times, the key factors that make Gefran a competitive and reliable partner.
AUTOMATION PLATFORMS
Gefran designs and manufactures automation control systems offering machine constructors a wide range of specific components (Unit Control Panels, Operator Interfaces, input/output systems, as well as programmable logic controllers and industrial PLC). This dedicated division also designs and develops solutions that adapt to customer projects, offering unique and exclusive "turnkey" solutions.
MOTION CONTROL
This range of products, designed and manufactured at the Drive and Motion Control Unit of Gefran in Gefrenzano (VA), consists of continuous and alternating current electronic drives and electric motors, including a complete range to fully satisfy the needs of industrial automation. The line also includes a series of inverters for the domestic and industrial photovoltaic industry.
GEFRANSIEI - ADV200 CABINET
The ADV200 is a range of panel-mounted inverters designed as a compact, ready-for-use solution fully compatible with the maximum operating conditions of the drive.
During conformance testing, we therefore paid particular attention to ensuring absolute compliance of the panels with all legal requirements.
Savings in terms of installation space and assembly and commissioning times, the guarantee of functionality and certified compliance with legal requirements are the main advantages of the Gefran panel-mounted solution.
