SMC Logo AV Soft Start Valves
Safely pressurize equipment at start-up

  

A supply valve that gradually increases supply pressure during start up and quickly exhausts system air when the supply air is shut off.  The AV soft start valves allow the pneumatic pressure supply to be easily tied into equipment electrical controls.

 

The valve conveniently mates with SMC's F.R.L. components to create a single point of machine air control and conditioning.

 

With increasing emphasis being placed on safety in the workplace, the need for safe start-up of machinery has prompted SMC to develop soft start-up valves. These valves reduce and then gradually increase the downstream pressure that is supplied to actuators from a safe low initial value, to the higher values that the machines demand; thereby protecting personnel and equipment from the sudden shock loads that can damage components or injure people.

Turck Logo Turck NIC Inductive Couplers

Contactless Transmission of Data and Power

NIC contactless inductive coupler, a wear free alternative to classic connectivity solutions.  As a "contactless connector" the new product series is an ideal solution for the wear problems occurring with plug and wiper contacts subject to severe stress. In overhead conveyor systems or on rollers, the inductive couplers offer a maintenance-free alternative to the wear-intensive slip ring. The speed of the system is ideal for use in applications with high cycle rates such as tool changer robots or rotary indexing tables. 

 

Inductive coupling is absolutely wear-free thus maintenance intervals can be extended, unplanned downtime reduced, and higher click speeds achieved.
