R.C.V. S.r.l. from Altavilla Vicentina (Vicenza) specializes in the design and construction of rectifiers, dosing units/counters and control panels, as well as customized products according to precise specifications.
Founded in 1964, the company, made up of highly specialized and experienced professionals, relies on the constant improvement of production technology, continuous research, trials and tests to meet the numerous demands of the market. In this context, the ability to develop effective and functional technical solutions is an important element that characterizes the entrepreneurial spirit together with the strong drive for innovation and the desire for continuous growth. A growth that affects not only the product, but also the production capacity and the quality system. This winning synergetic mix, which has been recognized throughout Europe yesterday and today, is the pride and joy of those who bring the best of Italian technology to the world.
A new power supply concept for the electroplating of metals is offered by the MODULAR RECONVERTER R.S.D.T. The innovative, modular and flexible switching rectifier developed and manufactured by RCV represents a new technological milestone in electroplating plant engineering. This high added value solution enables our customers to be even more competitive and to respond to the constant challenges of the global market.
Advantages through:
- Components completely separated from the air flow
- Remote support
- Digital control
- Multi-voltage - can be operated with 380 v to 480 v
- Significant increase in penetration
- Energy savings of up to 25/30 %
- Reduction of plating time by up to 25
- uniform plating
- No "burn marks" at all
The advantage of the new R.S.D.T. rectifier is its modularity
Dedicated access to the company server is not required for remote support via the Ethernet network. The RSDT model is equipped with a device that allows all rectifier parameters to be transferred module by module to a remote server (RCV or customer): internal temperature of the diodes / IGBT / transformers, output bars (+/-), fan speeds, possible faults and all operating parameters as well as power supply monitoring.
All this enables remote monitoring and support (via PC or smartphone).
This special function in our power rectifier range has never been available on the market before.
Added to this is the modularity, which means that production downtimes caused by any faults can be completely eliminated. If a module fails, it is automatically excluded and the missing power is compensated for by the other modules so that the system can continue to operate during the repair work. The user can replace the module in just a few minutes without having to stop the rectifier.
To achieve a leading position in a market, it is crucial and essential to have an innovative product with unique features that offers something more than what is already available. This logic clearly represents the foundation on which the company has developed in its almost 60 years of activity to serve an increasingly global market. Thanks to consistent investment in R&D activities compared to the industry average, the company is able to anticipate the needs of this market.
A special feature of this new product is that all electronic parts are hermetically sealed from the air flow. This guarantees operation in any type of environment, whether corrosive or with high humidity, despite the stated IP31 protection rating. We have carried out an extreme test, which you can follow via the QR code below. In the experiment, a jet of water was directed both at the cooling air inlet and in all other directions. It was found that not a single drop of water penetrated the power modules, meaning that the electrical/electronic parts were hermetically sealed off from the air flow. This guarantees a very high level of reliability for a long time.
