1. Failsafe Gripper Control in Automated Material Handling
Utilizes the 5/2 bistable valve function to control double-acting pneumatic grippers on a heavy-duty gantry system. If electrical power is lost, the valve maintains its last switched position mechanically, ensuring the pneumatic gripper remains securely locked on the payload.
Problem SolvedPrevents heavy payloads from being dropped during sudden power outages or emergency stops, ensuring worker safety and preventing costly product damage.

2. High-Speed Diverter Actuation in Dairy Packaging Conveyors
Actuates pneumatic diverter arms on rapid dairy sorting and packaging lines. The fast 12 ms switching time reversal and 1000 l/min standard nominal flow rate allow rapid and precise extension of pneumatic cylinders that sort products onto different conveyor lanes.
Problem SolvedEliminates throughput bottlenecks in high-volume packaging lines by ensuring rapid routing of items without missing tight sorting windows, outperforming slower mechanical sorting gates.

3. Automated Workpiece Clamping in Assembly Stations
Controls pneumatic toggle clamps in automated assembly stations. Running at a typical 6 to 8 bar within its rated pressure range, it provides consistent clamping force. The durable die-cast aluminum housing and NBR seals easily withstand the rigors of an industrial machining environment.
Problem SolvedReplaces manual clamping with a secure, automated holding solution that will not inadvertently release a workpiece if pilot control signals momentarily drop, thereby maintaining positional accuracy and operator safety during the machine cycle.
