The perfect control for your machines
To ensure that machines function properly in a production environment, it is naturally essential that they are controlled correctly.
Over the past decades, Koster has developed into a specialist in the development, realization, and implementation of electrical control systems for machines and installations.
Where every component matters
Hardware engineering is all about bringing components together intelligently. We translate what your machine needs to do into a well-functioning electrical installation in which everything fits together perfectly.
Our work focuses primarily on designing control cabinets and panels. This forms the basis for the trouble-free operation of your machines. Using EPLAN Electric P8 and Pro Panel, we create clear schematics and detailed 3D drawings. This allows you to see exactly what the control cabinet will look like in advance.
Why choose Koster?
- Everything under one roof: We provide a complete solution. In addition to hardware, we also develop the software for your systems.
- Flexible: We are not tied to a single brand. This means we always choose the components that best suit your situation.
- Excellent support: Our support does not end when the cabinet is delivered. With our 24/7 service, we are also available to you afterwards.
- Safety first: Our designs comply with the strictest safety standards.
- Management of your drawings: We can store and maintain your schematics properly. Has anything changed in the machine? We will update the drawings for you immediately. This means you do not have to worry about it yourself.
Safe design and certification
Certainty and safety (CE)
Working safely is extremely important. We design and supply systems that meet the appropriate safety levels, such as SIL and PL. We carefully assess the risks associated with a machine and ensure the correct electrical protection. This gives you a safe workplace and a reliable system.
Suitable for export to the US (UL)
Do you want to supply machines to the United States? In that case, the UL standard applies. Koster has the experience and the right workshop to build installations that meet these requirements. We can also adapt existing European designs for you so that they are suitable for the US market.
Our design software: EPLAN
We use EPLAN Electric P8 to create electrical schematics. We then use EPLAN Pro Panel to create a 3D drawing from them. This allows us to see exactly how all the components will fit in the cabinet in advance and avoid surprises during construction.
How we work from A to Z
We work according to a clear, structured step-by-step plan:
- Initial discussion: We discuss your requirements, the situation in the factory and exactly what the machine needs to do.
- Listing the requirements: We clearly document all agreements and requirements.
- The work plan: We describe how the system will operate and exactly how we will protect the machine.
- Design and construction: We create the schematics. After your approval, we order the components and build the control cabinet.
- Thorough testing: In our workshop, we extensively test the system to ensure it operates properly and safely.
- Commissioning: We install the system at your location, adjust it properly and explain to your employees how it works.
