COOPERATION WITH LFT, BKL, AND LEDINEK
LFT – Laboratory for Fluid Power at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana
The Laboratory for Fluid Technique (LFT), in cooperation with TRECON d.o.o. and TRM PRO d.o.o., has developed:
FILTRATOR 2020
A large industrial mobile hydraulic oil filtration device with a diagnostic center. This advanced mobile unit is primarily intended for high-quality circulation filtration of hydraulic oil and filtering new oil during the filling of hydraulic tanks.
ADVANTAGES
- Prevents production downtime caused by oil contamination
- Extends hydraulic oil life by 5×
- Increases component lifespan (pumps, valves, etc.) by 10×
- Excellent ROI: with 10,000 liters of oil in circulation, the investment pays off within a year
- Easily meets ISO 4066 oil cleanliness standards
- Portable and mobile – transportable in 3 ways:
- Towed on its own wheels
- By forklift
- By overhead crane or hoist
FUNCTIONS
Diagnostic center for oil property monitoring:
- Measures oil cleanliness by ISO standards (4 µm, 6 µm, 14 µm, 21 µm)
- Measures oil temperature, viscosity, dielectric constant
- Measures moisture content
- Tracks changes in physical properties over time
- Displays oil properties after successful filtration
- Logs data to external media (USB)
- Enables network data transmission
- Exports data in Excel graph format
Automatic oil filtration:
- Coarse pre-filtration
- Magnetic separation of metallic particles
- Fine filtration with 3 µm nominal filter inserts
- Moisture extraction
- Auto-stop upon achieving target cleanliness
TESTER 2025
A dynamic hydraulic testing station for determining the fatigue strength of test specimens.
The device performs high-quality durability testing, determines Wöhler curves, and tests incoming materials.
ADVANTAGES
- Enables life-cycle testing and product longevity optimization
- Essential for selecting technology and supporting internal R&D
- Simplifies product geometry and joint design improvements
- Determines fatigue Wöhler characteristics for new products/materials
- Allows incoming material testing from different suppliers
- Enables in-process load control of machined components
FUNCTIONS
Hydraulic and functional capabilities:
- One- and two-axis fatigue testing of various specimens
- Synchronous or asynchronous dual-axis operation
- Load frequency: 1 Hz to 20 Hz
- Load force range: 100 N to 2000 N (customizable)
- Operating modes:
- Manual: for clamping and positioning
- Automatic: for high-cycle dynamic loading and monitoring
- Real-condition simulation with industrial heaters up to 800 °C
Control and software:
- Controlled via modern touchscreen (Siemens HMI)
- Real-time data transfer to company network
- Data visualization and analysis via external interfaces (e.g., Matlab, Dewesoft)
- Option to create a digital twin for remote monitoring
- Integration with safety systems: fire alarms, security systems, video surveillance
BKL AND LEDINEK
In the field of servo technology, we also cooperate with BKL and Ledinek on the development of new devices and technologies.
