The Air Management System automatically regulates and isolates the compressed air provided to a machine to improve efficiencies during periods of inactivity.  The unit generates pressure, flow, and temperature data to characterize normal operating conditions and identify trends to both compare with similar machines and enable preventative action to maintain optimal system performance.  The unit does not require reprogramming of the user's PLC to operate, making integration both simple and cost effective.  The high-resolution data is accessed by the PLC via fieldbus and SCADA packages via OPC UA.  Using OPC UA and wireless systems, the Air Management System can be added without connector to the PLC or changes to PLC programming.

Series PF3W7-L digital flow sensor constantly monitors water or coolant flow.  "L" models are IO-Link compatible.  These sensors also have the "Z" designation for redesigned piping adapters, imparting a 13-53% weight reduction depending on flow range.  PF3W7-L features an integrated 3-color, 2-screen display.  Options include a manual flow adjustment valve and temperature sensor.  The main screen displays instantaneous flow value in red or green, while the white subscreen can show temperature, the switch set point, accumulated or peak/bottom value, or a line name.  The display rotates in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, offering improved readability during operation.  When paired with an IO-Link master, values and settings can be accessed from the HMI screen.  PF3W7-L incorporates IO-Link version 1.1 and COM2 speed.  48 bits of process data include flow and temperature values, switch outputs, and diagnostics.  Both IO-Link data and switch outputs can be read over the M8 or M8-to-M12 cable.  PF3W7-L is IP65 rated, and is both RoHS and CE compliant.

Controllers and drivers needed for our electric actuator family.  You will find step motor, servo motor and card motor controllers as well as 24VDC Fieldbus gateway units and AC servo drivers.

Electric linear actuators can push, pull or transfer workloads in a distinctly different way from pneumatic actuators. Pneumatic actuators rely on relatively crude devices such as rubber cushions or shock absorbers, pressure regulators, and flow restricting fittings at the port to control their motion. By contrast, an electric actuator employs an electronically controlled motor and ballscrew to deliver a precise motion profile through acceleration, speed and deceleration. Further, the controller is capable of integrating multiple ‘stop’ positions along the actuator's stroke with high precision and repeatability.

This next generation ISE70 pressure sensor provides continuous quantitative values, as well as switched digital outputs when pressure set points are met.  This sensor is also IO-Link compatible.  Sensor information, such as identity, functional state, cable connection, and current or switch values can be set or monitored remotely though an IO-Link master, and connected to a fieldbus network.  The ISE70 is designed for abusive environments that may also include splashed coolant, lubricants or grime.  Electronics are packaged in a metal housing, while the piping connection is a stout lug with female threads, which together protect the sensor against accidental collisions with other objects in the area.  A smooth display face with membrane type buttons avoids contamination from grit and sticky residue that could clog or jam raised rubber buttons.  The display is angled and can rotate 336 degrees, to permit easy reading when indirectly mounted.  The main screen shows instantaneous values in red or green, while the sub screen setting appear in orange.  Switch indicators will also light when set points are reached.
