Controlled air for device manufacturing.
Device assembly, production testing and pharmaceutical packaging use pneumatic motion within manufacturing equipment. Consider the machine-air circuit, pressure monitoring and installation conditions together when selecting components.
Where pneumatics fit.
Assembly and alignment
Compact actuators can move locating fixtures or position components during assembly. Check contact force, travel and the support provided by the machine.
Manufacturing test fixtures
Regulated pressure and a matching pressure signal can support the fixture control sequence. Define the test method and pressure requirements before selecting the circuit.
Packaging mechanisms
Pneumatic stops, clamps and pushers can operate packaging machinery. Review the equipment environment and any cleaning or material-contact requirements separately.
Components to consider.
Explore the product range, then check the model specifications for your circuit.
HIR precision regulators
Adjust fixture pressure
Select the HIR setting range and control configuration for the equipment air circuit. Check the flow requirement of the connected mechanism.
HCQ2 compact cylinders
Move compact mechanisms
A short cylinder body can suit restricted assembly space. Select the bore, stroke, mounting and rod-end connection from the fixture layout.
NP pressure switches
Monitor machine-air pressure
Choose the pressure-input range, media version and electrical outputs for the monitoring task and controller.
