Selection of the optimum pneumatic valves can have a significant impact on overall machine performance, but often designers continue to specify valves based on outdated technology. Better analysis of internal design has led to higher air flow rates in newer valves, such as the Numatics 503 Series. This allows machine designers to get the same amount of work from a smaller size valve and conserve valuable space, or to get more work from the same size valve and increase the total performance of a machine.
Also, recent improvements in controls with Fieldbus communications protocols simplify distribution of valves and I/O on machinery to optimize performance while giving machine builders easier commissioning and diagnostic capabilities. Plus, features such as sandwich flow controls and pressure regulators give designers more versatility with their machines, while improvements in the modular design of this series makes it easier to change components. This article from Chris Bart at Numatics explains these benefits in more detail.
