The DEPRAG AST30-2-230V is a high-precision sequence controller designed for manual and stationary screwdriving applications. Manufactured in 2008, this industrial control unit remains a powerhouse for managing EC-Servo screwdrivers, offering the same rigorous process reliability required for safety-critical assemblies (Risk Class A) .
Despite its 2008 manufacturing date, this unit provides the essential sensor control and documentation features required to achieve a CmK value of ≥1.67, ensuring virtually zero defect rates in your production line .
Condition Note: This is a pre-owned/vintage 2008 unit. Ideal for replacement, legacy system maintenance, or budget-conscious automation upgrades.

Key Features & Benefits
1. Precision Torque Control
The AST30-2-230V utilizes integrated sensor control to manage torque and angle with <1% standard deviation. It allows free programming of tightening parameters (speed, standby, direction) to fit complex joints .
2. Robust Industrial Communication
Unlike basic controllers, this unit features Ethernet, RS232, and Profibus interfaces. It integrates easily into existing PLC environments or higher-level .
3. Process Documentation
For quality assurance (QA) requirements, the AST30 stores screw assembly results. The 2008 model supports data recording for up to 7 production days, allowing for statistical evaluation of every screw joint .
4. Legacy Replacement
If your current AST30 has failed, this 2008 unit offers a drop-in replacement solution without the high cost of a full system upgrade or reprogramming.
Applications
- High-Safety Industries: Automotive assembly, particularly “Risk Class A” (life-threatening failure prevention) .
- Stationary Systems: Automated workstations with DEPRAG MINIMAT-EC Servo screwdrivers.
- Manual Workstations: Ergonomically guided precision assembly.
- Process Control: High-precision screw joints requiring torque/angle monitoring.
