Machine interfaces and system components that are connected and disconnected several times a day require high-performance connectors as frequent mating cycles are the norm.

For such conditions, Treotham offers the RSH and RDSH ILME inserts, designed to maximise ease of use and minimise systems downtime.

Treotham Automation was established in Sydney in 1992, selling chains and accessories out of a garage by founder and current owner Mikael Paltoft. Since then, Treotham has expanded it’s product range through energy chains, chainflex cables, polymer bearings and flexible conduit systems. This resulted in the opening of the Brookvale warehouse along Sydney's Northern Beaches. The steady growth for Treotham has allowed the business to open warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Auckland in New Zealand.

After many months of hard work and dedication, we are excited to officially announce the launch of our brand new website. We hope that you love our new modern look and find it much easier to search what you are looking for.

Articulated arm robots can travel over six metres, quadrupling their working space: the 7th axis is now compatible with all lightweight articulated arm robots worldwide thanks to a simple Plug & Play kit. So far, models from Universal Robots, Epson and the igus robolink series from Treotham have benefited from this increased mobility. Now Omron, Franka Emika, Doosan, Yuanda Robotics and many other lightweight robotics suppliers are joining the list.

Treotham’s range of Wenglor inductive sensors with increased switching distances features enhanced performance in miniature design: A total of eight new sensors from the I03 and I04 series in the compact D3 and M4 housing for detecting metallic objects in confined systems. Practically no larger than a pin head, the robust sensors in V2A stainless steel housing demonstrate their strengths exactly where space is most limited.

It is light, compact, and made entirely of plastic: the new PRM (Polymer Rotation Module) rotary igus energy supply system from Treotham. Specifically for tight rotational movements in cables and hoses, igus has now developed a system consisting of a polymer energy chain and a low-friction plastic guide trough. Users can increase the service life of their machines and systems with buying costs up to 73% less than those of a comparable steel guide trough. The new e-chain system expands the igus range of complete sets that can be ordered directly from Treotham Automation.

If there is one area where applications are becoming ever-more complex, it’s safety engineering. EUCHNER has not only kept up with this trend with its Multifunctional Gate Box (MGB) safety door system, but has gone a step further by employing modular design to make the MGB2 Modular fully customisable for maximum optimisation. The modular system features a separate locking module, bus module and submodules, making it suitable for implementing a wide range of additional functions.

Specialists in harsh and demanding industrial environments: Type 2K Wenglor photoelectronic sensors are the latest additions to the PNG//smart product series from Treotham. Thanks to their robust stainless steel 316L housing with IP69K protection, they can withstand intensive high-pressure cleaning up to 100 bar at temperatures up to 80 °C, aggressive cleaning agents, coolants and lubricants, as well as mechanical influences and corrosion.

Microbiologically safe, residue-free cleaning, resistant to corrosion, a hygienic system design that is ideal for integration into open machine architecture – all of these attributes are united in the hygienic servo actuators in WITTENSTEIN alpha’s axenia value series available from Treotham. Developed for use in the sterile and wet areas of production and packaging machines, these motor/gearbox systems can be incorporated into open units without any additional protective measures.
