1. Mid-Stroke Pneumatic Actuator Depressurization System
Using the 5/3 exhausted center function, this application safely vents both sides of a double-acting pneumatic cylinder during an emergency stop or manual override phase. The 370 l/min flow rate ensures rapid evacuation of air through the QS-6 ports.
Problem SolvedEliminates trapped pneumatic energy during a mid-stroke stop, allowing operators to safely and manually move the cylinder without resistance.

2. End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) Pick-and-Place Vacuum Control
Taking advantage of the -0.9 bar to 10 bar operating pressure and reversible flow direction, this compact 14 mm valve toggles between vacuum generation for gripping and a slight positive pressure blow-off for releasing parts in a fast-paced robotic handling cell.
Problem SolvedConsolidates vacuum and pressure lines into a single compact valve on a robotic arm, minimizing weight and space while enabling 20 ms fast switching.

3. Secondary Packaging Conveyor Divert Gates
Deployed in a moderately demanding packaging facility, this application uses the IP65 rated, die-cast aluminium valve to drive diverter gates on a sorting conveyor line. Pilot actuation enables reliable switching over millions of cycles.
Problem SolvedPrevents valve failure from dust and light moisture ingress while providing consistent high-cycle actuation for sorting mechanisms.
