Our technicians work closely with our customers to tailor a gas spring to their specific application. In addition, we have the ability to replace your old gas spring of any brand with an exact copy. For this we only need a technical drawing or sketch.

Our gas springs are continuously tested to ensure reliability, long life and overall product safety for your highest satisfaction.

Gas springs perform optimally when the correct internal gas pressure is applied.

LDA applies the right pressure in house, this guaranties that your Gas Spring has always the optimal pressure for your application.

The customer can also adapt the gas pressure on his Gas Spring. LDA measures than this pressure and will deliver all new Gas Springs according to those new specifications.

It is common for people to try to solve problems by phone. Sometimes even images are exchanged electronically to get a better view of the problem. Of course, we have the possibility to do that, but in our experience there is nothing more efficient than sending a specialist to the site to look at the problem with you. Our highly trained team of professionals will then diagnose and make a proposal with you to repair the faulty device. LDA has over 60 years of experience in industrial automation and many customers rely on our knowledge and are grateful for the solutions provided.

Did you know that LDA has a systems group dedicated solely to researching and implementing special projects on System Integration?

System integration refers to the process of merging various subsystems and software applications into one cohesive whole. This ensures that these systems work together effectively, enabling data exchange and process automation.

In the modern business world, organizations are increasingly dependent on technology.
With a growing number of systems and applications within companies, the need arises for additional support from specialists.

One of the key benefits of system integration is increased efficiency. In addition, your employees can focus on more strategic tasks, rather than spending time on one-time often difficult integration processes.

LDA has knowledge of these different technologies and can therefore assist you in the start-up or conversion phase of your new projects.

The different technologies we combine are:

  • Super fast, accurate Voice Coil actuators, motors and controllers,
  • Electric actuators, motors and controllers,
  • Pneumatic Automation,
  • Mechanical components,
  • Robot integration,
  • Support of communication protocols such as Profinet®, EtherCat®, etc.

In consultation with the client:

  • Together we determine the objectives,
  • We analyze the project and compile an initial pre-analysis document,
  • After approval, the design phase follows:
    • Integration architecture design: Based on collected information, we design an architecture for integration.
    • Data mapping: Defines how data from different systems communicate with each other.
  • The first Implementation Phase often starts in our Lab:
    • Purchase of the products,
    • Making a lab setup,
    • Software programming,
    • Testing,
    • Final design.
  • Rollout Phase:
    • Implementation in production environment,
    • User training
  • Aftercare

Do not hesitate to contact LDA and discuss your integration projects with one of our specialists without any obligation.
