Controlled pneumatics webinar
08 April 2022
With rising energy prices pushing up the cost of compressed air, it is more important than ever to use it carefully and wisely. The same is true for process gases, ranging from air to inert gases, oxygen, and exotic gases.
These are used for everything from everyday applications in food packaging or tyre inflation, to highly precise and technical applications for semi-conductors or scientific research. They are all dependent upon the cost of the gases they consume. As the cost of these rises, the case strengthens for carefully re-evaluating the technology used to control flow and pressures.
This live 45-minute webinar on Tuesday 7th June at 10am looks at the topic of ‘Mastering controlled pneumatics to design more energy efficient machines and increased machine flexibility'.
The webinar looks at:
• What is controlled proportional pneumatics and what operating principles are available?
• Flow or pressure control – how to choose the right approach?
• Application examples – applying controlled pneumatics for flexibility and energy saving
• Combining pressure and flow control for a new motion control approach
• Comparing proportional control technologies; Piezo, voicecoil and PWM
Each control technology has its inherent characteristics: price, precision, dynamics, power consumption, noise, ruggedness, reliability, service life, etc. The advice of the Festo specialists is a shortcut to understanding and selecting the most appropriate options.
The webinar is ideal for pneumatic engineers, controls engineers and system architects that are designing, specifying or upgrading automation systems in factory automation.
