Parker-Legris headquarters in Rennes (France)

Since October 2008, Legris has been through many

changes. Becoming the Flud Sysm Ccrs

eurp division of Parker Hannifin has given all of

us the opportunity to discover and grow, to create

new partnerships and share expertise, to cultivate

quality and achievement.

This edition of Connectic Magazine, a familiar toolthat has been revamped to reflect our new identity,

reveals several recent accomplishments:

a new-and-improved LF 3600 product range, along

with a success story pursued with ARO; a brand-

new partnership with AVN Automation, long-time

Parker distributor; and communication tools now

available to promote our products with the Parker-

Legris brand image.

tghr w ca ensure that partnerships, old and

new, create value and remain invaluable.

The LF 3600 fittings range

has gotten a facelift: this

range of extremely robust

fittings is now new-and-

improved. Resisting temp-

eratures of up to 150C

(as compared to 120C),

and functioning at 99%

vacuum at as high as 30

bars (and not only 20 bars),

the LF 3600 is the one and

only fitting on the

market capable

of such a per-

formance.

These improved

technical features

allow the fittings

to be sterilized

and to be used in

sterilization equipment (ideal

for medical applications),

as well as in cooking

ovens (perfect for the

food process industry, for

example). Able to transport

many different fluids,

including compressed air,

grease, and water, the LF

3600 is truly a multi-fluid,

multi-application range,

designed to handle a wider

variety of "terrain" than

most other fittings.

The high phosphorous

FDA-approved chemical

nickel plating, more

resistant to chemical and

mechanical aggression

than common nickel

plating, improves resistance

to aggressive fluids by

creating a barrier between

the fluids and the brass.

This allows the fitting to be

in contact with food

(although not on a

permanent basis), making

it perfectly compatible with

the splash zone in the food

process industry, for

instance. Indeed, its

resistance to aggressive

cleaning agents (slightly

corrosive, non-toxic and

non-absorbent materials),

combined with its mech-

anical strength during use

and/or cleaning, make it

clearly suited to

this function.

Furthermore,

the seal used is

composed

of FKM rubber,

whose

characteristics

allow it to resist

temperature and chemical

aggression much better

than NBR and EPDM seals,

and it is ozone-

resistant and can come into

direct contact with food.

In terms of mechanical

resistance, the sub-base

has extra-long cylindrical

threads to ensure

optimum thread resistance

to stress; the thread length

reaches the maximum

length as determined by the

ISO standard. In addition,

the ranges collet gripping

system has improved

tensile strength and long-

term resistance compared

to gripping ring technology.

The collet gripping system

is perfect for cyclical

pressure resistance and

pressure peaks. The unit

control in place guarantees

that 100% of the pieces

are tested and verified, with

the date marked on every

product, allowing for trace-

ability. The qualities of this

new generation LF 3600

product range meet the

extremely demanding

requirements inherent to

the automobile, medical

and food process markets,

conforming to RoHS, FDA

and 1935/2004/EC

directives*. Thanks to this

incredible flexibility of use

in various applications and

markets, the LF 3600 range

proves its all-terrain

capabilities. The range

offers a very wide selection

of fittings, compatible

with many other products

to create a global and

comprehensive offer. The

tube diameters range from

4 to 14 mm and from 5/32

to inches. The thread

sizes come in M5 and M7

for metric, while the inch

sizes range from 1/8 to

BSPP and BSPT. Replying

to special requests is easily

possible, as the fittings

are all-metal and can be

machined to fit the specific

needs of our customers.

A banjo for railway

applications has been

designed to fit one specific

customers need; a special

cartridge and elbow were

developed for food, dairy,

and brewery installations

and for biopharmaceutical

applications. The poss-

ibilities in terms of tube material

are extensive: Polyurethane,

Polyamide, Polyethylene,

Fluoroethylene-propylene,

and anti-static tubing are all

suitable for use with the

LF 3600 fittings. Whatever

the customers need may

be, weve got the product.

All-Terrain: LF 3600, the "4x4" of the fittings world

In the automotive process industry, many different processes require a tting:

welding robots, vacuum networks, machining, lubrication, cooling and painting.

The LF 3600 ttings are capable of integrating all of these processes, transport-

ing all of the uids involved. This all-terrain capability allows our customers to

purchase one tting for all applications, rather than several separate ttings. This

offers not only a nancial advantage, but also an advantage in terms of stock

reduction, eliminating the risk of confusion in maintenance as well.

TheAVN Group is a

powerful business partner

for Danish industry. Divided

into five subsidiaries, the

AVN Group is primarily

involved in projects

within the wind turbine

industry, for sheet metal

processing machinery, in

the field of tools, and inautomation, pneumatics

and hydraulics. The AVN

Group collaborates closely

with its customers in order

to offer turnkey solutions

within these different

business areas with thecommon approach, The

technical aspects must

be in order.A long-time

partner of the Parker group,

AVN Automation, one of

the five subsidiaries of

the AVN Group, began

referencing Legris Low

Pressure products in

May 2009. Per Brock,

Distribution Manager for

the Danish Parker Sales

Company (PSC), FlemmingPedersen, Automation

Product Specialist for the

Danish PSC, and Yann

Hautire, Business

Development Manager

for Central and Northern

European Distribution forLegris, met with Steen

Hjorth , Product Manager

of the AVN Automation

subsidiary. Following a

presentation of the

features and benefits

of Legris products, with

an introduction to the

products and application

explanations, AVN

immediately welcomed

Legris as a sub-supplier,

qualifying its offer asquite impressive. As a

matter of fact, AVN is no

stranger to the Legris

offer, and has sold Legris

products in the past. Many

aspects of our offer are

extremely convincing forAVN and AVNs customers:

superior product and

service quality, as well

as the product safety

features. Product quality

is highlighted in Legris

catalogue, which is highlyappreciated as well, as

Steen Hjorth points out,

saying, The catalogue makes

it very easy to ind products,

as well as to ind their

prices.Focus on technical

assets in the catalogueputs further emphasis

on product quality. Another

compelling advantage is

the safety aspect, which is

immediately visible for AVNs

customers: given a product

sample, customers are able

to manipulate the instant

connect/disconnect feature

and judge its efficiency for

themselves. According to

AVN, their customers are

won over on the spot.

We fnd it very interesting to

work with Legris, whose products

are very good. The acquisitiono Legris by Parker has given

us new opportunities to present

to our customers, so we are o

course very happy about the

situation,says Steen Hjorth.

From almost the very first day

that Legris was referenced

by AVN, the response was

extremely positive, with

customers (primarily in the

chemical and dairy industries)

ordering products right

away. The Legris reputation

is acknowledged without

hesitation, with Per Brock

concluding, The product is

well-known as a superior product.

Sccess Sty

One AVN customer in the dairy industry was working with a machine

supplied from Germany, and the machine was equipped with the

Legris LF 3600 fittings. The dairy customer found the machines

performance so convincing, that he began to order Legris products

from AVN as well. In addition to top-notch product performance, one

of the most persuasive arguments for customers in the food industry

is the official FDA seal of approval, from which the LF 3600 fittings

benefit. The endorsement from the Food and Drug Administration is

very difficult to obtain, making it all the more significant a guarantee

of product quality for customers in the food industry.

ARO, the French division

of the British group Langley

Holdings, is one of the

world leaders in the area

of resistance welding

technology, for the

automotive industry as well

as other industries. Withits headquarters based in

Chteau-du-Loir, near

Le Mans, ARO employs

450 people, including 280

in France, with a consolidated

turnover of 63 million euros

in 2009. ARO supplies a

complete range of clamps,

machines and welding control

panels for all resistance

welding applications, both

manual and automated. By

bringing in new technologies,ARO is also able to propose

complete, efficient and

innovative turnkey solutions

whose quality is recognized by

all its customers. Through its

nine subsidiaries and

wide network of agents,

ARO is present worldwide

and is therefore close to

its customers wherever

they may be. In 2004, Legris

made an offer to ARO with

the LF 3600 range and ouranti-spark tubing to equip

welding guns that were

to be mounted onto robots.

The interesting part of this

application was that the

traditional cables could be

used with compression

fittings for instant connection

while respecting the inherent

constraints. PSAretained

this solution for a first project,

that of the A7 platform,

commercially known as the

Peugeot 207, produced by

the sites in Poissy (France),

Trnava (Slovakia), and Madrid

(Spain). 100% of the market

share was entrusted to Legris,

meaning a total of severalthousand fittings and meters

of tubing for this project.

Once this technology had

proven successful, not

only for building up new

installations but also for

equipment maintenance,

it was added in to the

technical specifications for

this automotive manufacturer.

Legris was therefore retained

for the Citron Picasso C4

(in 2005), the Citron Jumper/

Peugeot Expert (in 2005),

the Citron Berlingo-Peugeot

Partner (in 2006), the

Citron-Picasso C3 (in 2007),

the Peugeot 308 (in 2007),

the new Citron C3+ with its

DS3 variant (in 2008) and the

Peugeot 3008 and 5008

(in 2008). At the same time,

the Renault Nissan group

also confirmed their choice

for Legris new products,

meaning Legris now workswith both French automobile

manufacturers through our

partnership with ARO. In

2006, Legris worked on

the new Kangoo (project

X61), in 2007, on the new

Laguna (project X91),and in 2008, on the new

Mgane (project X95).
