1. Clippard Air Valves Ensure Safe Fuel Transfer

   ... MJV-3 valves — one for each compartment.) A manual control knob is mounted on the end of the shaft that extends through one end block, and a plate underneath the knob identifies which valve is cam-actuated at each knob position. The shaft is fitted with a ...

2. Automation on a Budget

   ... cylinders to repeatedly start and stop flow. Control valve s regulate airflow and actuation rate, running the test as fast as ... The parts must turn when subject to 30 lb-in. of torque. But manual torque wrenches inherently produce a lot of variation in the readings. ...

3. Miniaturization Makes Pneumatics the Choice in Medical Applications

   ... valves at lower power is driving the change in the solenoid valve arena," said Martens. "Additionally, the need for quiet valves is also ... change slightly to where something that might have been a manual device—a toggle valve or something like that—now suddenly has to be ...

4. Case Study: Liquid Level Sensing

   ... rises, the float moves a rod that touches the pilot actuator valve which sends signal to a cylinder that opens a valve that release liquid ... a stainless steel filter at the supply connection, a manual override and a threaded port for venting or piping away exhaust. ...

5. History: Present Day

   ... One customer wanted a slight modification to this valve and another wanted this cylinder, but for this purpose. Special ... or designed and built in-house. Technology ranging from manual to fully automated fills both facilities, each one used for a specific ... improvement. New systems are regularly developed to replace manual tasks and increase efficiencies. For example, a robotic machine was ...

6. Pressure Control vs. Flow Control

   ... faucet. The controller (hand) turns the handle to open a valve (input action). The valve opens and (hopefully) allows water to flow from ... and, like flow controls , are available in both manual and electronic variations. Pressure regulators are not designed to ...

7. Air Logic Upgrades Composites Manufacturing

   ... The automated process also reduces manual labor and improves part quality dramatically, he explains. ... motor uses line-pressure pilot valves, which shift a 4-way valve spool to reverse the pump.  Keys for fast pump reversal are a light ...

8. Laboratory Automation for Pesticide Residue Analysis

   ... while the AutoMate-Q40 methodically executes a litany of manual tasks to complete the sample extraction. It decaps the sample vial, adds ... Engineer at Teledyne Tekmar, the choice was clear. "The air valve actuates, then the cylinder moves. As opposed to using a motor to drive a ...

9. Clippard Modules Control Battery Filling at Simplex

   ... solution becomes too acid, it turns bright red and a check valve in the jar prevents the solution from backing up into the pump.  Also, ... totally automatic filling system replaced an old-fashioned manual system… and has greatly added to the overall safety of the ...
