Pneumatic valves have come a long way since the development of the compressor more than a century ago and it can be a real challenge to ensure you’re taking full advantage of the latest development for your organization. Here are three ways to adopt the latest advances in pneumatic valve technology…

  1. Choose components that adhere to ISO valve standards
    ISO International Standards ensure that products are safe, reliable and of good quality, helping to deliver increased customer satisfaction through consistent quality. ISO standards can also be used strategically by businesses to help reduce costs through improved systems and processes, minimize waste and increase productivity.
  2. Opt for intelligent and simple wiring solutions
    Utilizing collective wiring solutions provides and elegant mechanism to consolidate solenoid wiring into a single “collective” connection on the valve manifold. This method significantly reduces costs and complexity, as the valve can be moved out of the control cabinet to the point-of-use application located near the pneumatic process, eliminating long tubing runs and delayed responses in operation.
  3. Incorporate cloud-connected innovations
    Incorporating a fieldbus solutions to control pneumatic valves could be the first step towards implementing intelligent, cloud-connected industry 4.0 innovations on the assembly line. These solutions create an automated industrial network, specifically designed for communications between programmable logic controls (PLCs) via a communications system such as Ethernet.

With the onset of Industry 4.0, factory and production environments are adopting industrial networks to become more connected and intelligent. Adding intelligence to machines gives the opportunity to implement a predictive maintenance strategy – the ability to foresee issues and plan rather than to react to maintenance needs.

Selecting the proper hose for a hydraulic assembly is critical to ensure that it meets the requirements for that specific application. One of the first steps in selecting the proper hose is to identify the types of reinforcement that is needed. The reinforcement is the strength of all hydraulic hoses; it determines the working pressure of the hose. Within the hydraulic hose industry, you will commonly see three types of reinforcement:

  1. Braided: a braid of synthetic textile, wire or other material, applied by high speed vertical or horizontal braiders.
  2. Spiral: a spiral wrap that is made from natural fibers, synthetic materials or wire.
  3. Helical: a helical coil monofilament reinforcement that keeps the hose from collapsing in on itself when used in suction line applications.

Versatile and easy-to-install, GORE® 100% ePTFE sealing cord is a cost-effective solution for large steel flanges in general-use applications. Joint Sealant, the first form-in-place gasket, was invented by Gore more than 40 years ago. It is a time-tested sealing solution for steel flanges with large diameters, rectangular or irregular shapes, and rough or pitted surfaces.
