OEM COMPONENTS
Internationally, ASPÖCK Systems GmbH has been established
for over 40 years, creating lighting solutions for vehicles that are
designed, manufactured and tested in-house. This family business,
based in Austria with a UK sales office in Bishops Stortford, stands
for high technical quality, innovation, flexibility and design. The
pursuit of safety and efficiency drives the company forward.
SMCG
SMCG - Side Marker Control Gear – provides control for flashing
side marker lights (SML). This system was developed as a solution
for the revised ECE 48 / Rev. 6. This regulation stipulates that the
side marker lights of vehicles of categories O3 and O4 must be
coordinated with the indicator.
ASPÖCK Systems offer individual solutions to achieve this function
whilst avoiding the installation of additional category 5 lights.
Solution 1
SMCG - A cost effective interface cable between loom and rear
lamp which contains the necessary electronics and output to the
side marker light.
Solution 2
SMCG Relay - This electronic flashing relay is installed in an
ASPÖCK junction box or ASPÖCK combination rearlight (Europoint
III, Europoint II and Ecopoint II).
Both SMCG options boast simple installation into an existing
ASPÖCK Systems lighting system.
For the best possible solution –with regard to the legislative change
and performance – combine UNIPOINTMAXXwith SMCG – the high
intensity side marker offers a substantially increased beam angle.
Unipoint MAXX - the new LED-SML with the
highest possible intensity and output
For many years, the UNIPOINT product family has played amajor
role in bringing security to the forefront. The product range consists
of lighting and light signal equipment – this includes position lamps
and outline marker lamps as well as side marker lamps (SML) ,
which are now used with an incorporated direction indicator
(DI). With the new SML, which is designed in LED as standard,
ASPÖCK has once again clearly underlined the topic of luminosity
for side marker lights: The UNIPOINT MAXX provides maximum,
legally permitted light intensity with low power consumption and
is configured for horizontal mounting.
Cabling system
It’s just a cable but, in the end, it is the most important component
to allow the high-quality lights of ASPÖCK to shine. In addition, the
ASPÖCK Group offers a wide range of different cables, and can thus
meet all requirements of its customers. Whether coiled for ADR or
cables with special twisted cores for electronic applications such as
BUS cables.
Via special cables for P&R (Press & Ready) or DC (Double Click)
systems, ASPÖCKguarantees a simple connectionof its components
to the main wiring harness.
However, the cable alone does not make a connection. Awide range
of connector systems is available for joining the cables to the various
systemcomponents. Above all, the ASPÖCK plug system (ASS). Up to
4 cable exits per connector can be realised using the latest injection
moulding technologies. ASPÖCK plays a pioneering role when it
comes tomerging several cores into individual pins. Light functions
can be distributed directly on the connector. A distribution box is
not required.
With the high level of flexibility in production, connector systems
fromother manufacturers can also be used at any time without any
problems.
Several variants are available for sealing these connector systems
onto the cable, depending on the area of application. No matter
whether with grommet, over-moulding of the plug, (especially for
multiple outlets) or high-pressure gating of the plug directly to the
cable (e.g. P&R), ASPÖCK Systems has the optimum solution in its
range.
This ensures that all ASPÖCK components - the lights, the light
control units (LCGS, SMCGs), and distribution boxes, etc. can be
perfectly connected to each other, thereby guaranteeingmaximum
reliability (up to ADR and IP6K9K).
