When plant comes to a standstill as a result of component breakdown, awaiting spare parts can be agonizing. Down-time costs can rapidly mount even over just a few hours. It is therefore good practice to keep a basic inventory of spare parts locally accessible.
One of the benefits of the SIPOS 5 Flash actuator design is that only a small range of spare parts need to be held, thus keeping inventory costs and storage space to a minimum.
