Automation and special machinery since 2011
Anahita GmbH, headquartered in Bielefeld, has been active since 2011 as a service provider and manufacturer in the field of industrial automation and special machinery. The service portfolio covers PLC and SCADA/HMI programming, control cabinet construction in accordance with DIN EN 61439, safety-oriented control technology in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13849-1, drive and motion control technology, retrofit, commissioning, as well as CAD engineering and technical simulation. In special machinery manufacturing, the company produces induction pipe welding systems (HF-ERW) with outputs of 60 to 1400 kW, ERW pipe production lines, flying cold circular saws, automatic pipe packaging machines, induction annealing and heat treatment systems, and electric arc spraying systems. In addition, the company develops its own DC converters (PL/X) and controllers for slip-ring motors (JL/X) up to 1 MW. Materials processed include, among others, low-carbon and high-strength steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper and zinc. Customers come from the steel and pipe industry, hot rolling mills, the oil and gas sector, construction and shipbuilding, offshore wind energy and building services engineering.
