Industrial Applications

1. Cleanroom Semiconductor Pick-and-Place Modules

Utilizing the straight fitting to route clean compressed air inside automated semiconductor wafer handling equipment.

Problem Solved

Standard fittings can release micro-particles or outgas volatile substances, causing immediate defects in chip fabrication. This fitting's Class 4 cleanroom certification ensures exceptionally low particle shedding, and its VDMA24364 Zone III PWIS-conformity guarantees no organic contamination.

2. Robotic Automotive Paint-Spraying Lines

Connecting auxiliary air feed lines to pneumatic spray guns and control valves in automotive paint booths.

Problem Solved

Silicones and heavy particles from typical fittings disrupt paint adhesion on vehicle bodies, resulting in craters and blemishes. Because this fitting is certified PWIS-free (VDMA24364 zone III), it ensures total compatibility with high-finish paint lines, while the pre-coated R1/4 thread prevents loose thread-tape particles from entering the pneumatic system.

3. Lithium-Ion Battery Assembly & Vacuum Handling

Securing 12 mm heavy-duty vacuum suction lines on battery cell transfer gantry cranes and indexing tables.

Problem Solved

In lithium-ion battery handling, vacuum systems must reliably maintain negative pressure down to -0.095 MPa without leakage, or the cell will be dropped. This fitting's negative pressure rating down to -0.95 bar and its robust stainless steel clamping system securely hold thick 12 mm tubing during rapid, multi-axis gantry acceleration.
