To help beat the July heat, this newsletter shows off our Proportion-Air and Burling Valve products that can directly or indirectly control liquids in your wet applications. Highlighted by a FCV application where water is directly controlled by the FCV to cool molten metal in a mold. We also feature our two latest blog posts … Continued
Compressed air is nearly ubiquitous in factories. It’s part of the power behind everything from CNC machines to cylinders to hand-held tools. The inescapable nature of compressed air can provide a false sense of security around its safety. A review of the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) accident search website shows only a … Continued
With June being National Safety Month, this newsletter highlights our miniature safety regulators and hazardous location valves to help you keep your applications safe. We also feature our two latest blog posts about force control and our new Florida location. Read this month’s issue. Ready to subscribe?
Mechanical pressure regulators like spring-loaded regulators or pilot-operated volume boosters play a key role in maintaining pressure in fluid systems. Unfortunately, the performance of these pressure regulators can be affected by inaccuracies. Understanding the mechanics of pressure regulators and how they operate can shed light on common inaccuracies and how to address them. The Role … Continued
Just minutes from the white sand and blue waters of Pensacola Beach, our new state-of-the-art 12,000 square foot research and development facility in beautiful Gulf Breeze, Florida, has opened. This building offers a fresh new space for us to invent and test electronic air pressure regulators, air flow control valves and more to “Retool America.” … Continued
When developing applications we consider a number of factors and key process variables, including force. Understanding force is a fundamental factor in developing effective engineering processes. Playing a central role in understanding and describing the behavior of objects and systems in the physical world, force is defined as any interaction that, when unopposed, will change … Continued
In this May newsletter, we highlighted how Force (not The Force) can be controlled with electro-pneumatics. We also feature our new Canada-France-Hawaii telescope case study, look at the Purdue capstone teams’ final projects, and watch our manager of technical development, Jon Lister, sit down with Power & Motion to talk about the power of pneumatics. … Continued
Did you happen to hear that sigh of relief last week, maybe late on Thursday afternoon? It may have come from members of our 2023-24 capstone teams at Purdue Polytechnic Institute as they completed their presentations at the annual School of Engineering Technology Spring Tech Expo. The expo gives capstone teams the chance to show … Continued
In this April newsletter we’ve put the spotlight on pneumatic education to help you learn something new or refresh some previous knowledge before starting your next engineering project. We’ve featured our free white paper on understanding electro-pneumatic pressure regulators. You’ll also see a product highlight about our QB3 high-flow electronic pressure controller. And in case … Continued
March brings us preparation for planting in the northern hemisphere, but the food process world is busy all year long. We’ve featured pipeline pigging for all those facilities moving product around via pipe systems. You’ll also see information about our QBX proportional electro-pneumatic pressure regulator. And in case you missed it, we’re going blue with … Continued
