1. Safe System Pressurization in Automated Assembly Lines
Integrated into the modular air preparation unit, this soft-start valve gradually increases pneumatic pressure during machine power-up using its adjustable exhaust-air flow control. Once downstream pressure reaches approximately 50% of the input, the main seat opens to safely deliver the full 2600 l/min standard nominal flow rate to the line.
Problem SolvedPrevents sudden, erratic extension of pneumatic cylinders and actuators when a system is re-pressurized. This eliminates severe mechanical shock, reduces wear on tooling, and mitigates injury risks to operators working near automated drives.

2. Controlled Inert Gas Supply in Modified Atmosphere Packaging
Utilized in food packaging machinery to regulate the introduction of inert gases. The valve leverages its robust die-cast aluminium housing and soft NBR sealing principle to cleanly manage gas delivery without leaks, handling ambient and media temperatures up to 60 °C.
Problem SolvedPrevents high-pressure gas spikes that can rupture delicate packaging films during the flushing process. The monostable mechanical spring reset provides a critical fail-safe, instantly cutting off the gas supply if the pneumatic pilot signal is lost.

3. Fail-Safe Pneumatic Isolation for CNC Machining Centers
Installed via in-line mounting with G1/4 ports to control the main air supply for CNC tool changers and swarf blow-off systems. The piston gate valve operates robustly within a 0.3 MPa to 1.6 MPa pressure range, resisting the moderately corrosive environments typical of machining coolants.
Problem SolvedSafely isolates the pneumatic circuit during machine maintenance and stops violent tool ejections or dangerous swarf blow-back when the air supply is restored. Its direct piloting and non-reversible flow guarantee secure cutoff.
