A SIPOS Aktorik 5 Flash Profitron actuation solution has met the demands of a pedestrian bridge in the Wartberg district of Wertheim, Germany, with a programmed complete movement sequence. When the River Tauber rises to flood level, the 31m long, 17tn bridge needs to be raised over 5m in 45mins and the height deviation of the two bridge ends must not be more than +/- 30cm. Actuator communication can be performed via the existing actuator I/O interfaces and the required synchronised movement of the bridge ends is assured.
