A sound investment in the future
Lock drives deliver ultimate standards in terms of performance, reliability and quality. Therefore, for any horticultural company, it makes sound economic sense in the long term to invest in these products. With a Lock drive, you obtain a fully fl edged product that you only need to involve yourself with on one occasion: its installation. You see, as a general rule, a Lock drive will last at least as long as your greenhouse.
Furthermore you can fi nd Lock products in a great many specialist applications such as mobile greenhouses, lifting systems for heating and lighting, up to internal transport systems and packaging machines.
With a great selection of power drives, couplings and rack & pinion units, Lock is able to guarantee optimum quality right down the driveline. This has a benefi cial impact on the bottom line and, in the long-term, it reduces service costs.
The strengths power, range of choice and modularity also apply to the product family of rack & pinion units, the EZD, AZD and ZSG ranges. With loads of 500 to 2500 N you can move anything from a simple polytunnel to the heavy double-glazed panels in a wide-span greenhouse and all types of roof and side ventilation systems.
If you need to get a move on, even the standard EWA drives can operate at up to 10 rpm. Things get even faster with the Speed-Logic, with up to 15 rpm, e.g. for open-roof vent systems.
Founded 180 years ago by Raphael Lock, the Ertingen-based company has been managed by Frank Lock, the 5th generation of the family, since 2002. The robust, self-locking, high-quality manual and power drives are the first choice worldwide for gardening and stable construction applications. Lock is also increasingly conquering industrial sectors with its product portfolio - particularly with solutions for lifting and adjusting tasks. In addition to independent dealers, the company's global network includes its own branches in the Netherlands, the USA and China. This enables Lock to offer expert advice, an extensive stock and fast on-site service.
Professional buildings for animals or plants have the highest demands on technical components for ventilation and other applications. Digital solutions ensure sustainable, efficient management. That is why Lock experts have been working on drive solutions, optimal building climate, environmental management and smart farming for years. With its innovative strength, Lock proves that drives, winding ventilation and control systems can become ever more efficient without losing reliability or durability.
Maximum performance, reliability and quality - that's what Lock stands for with its name!
The focus at this year's IPM in Essen will be on the EWA 5 series, the intelligent iLogic control system, the SBE farm management system and the Lock roller carriage. The EWA 5 series impresses with its reliability and durability and can be used in extreme temperatures from -5°C to +60°C. The END20 mechanical limit switch system and the LSC 40 control unit offer flexible control options. With iLogic, Lock offers a manufacturer-independent control system for ventilation, shading and open roof systems. It enables precise control and is easy to retrofit. The SBE farm management system networks central greenhouse components such as ventilation, lighting, irrigation and heating, thus optimizing work processes. It can be controlled via the Lock SBE app and offers a user-friendly dashboard. The roller slide with VariVent system and small installation space enables easy installation and can be combined with all EWA drives. This means that ventilation lengths can be flexibly adapted.
