Category:

A welding equipment OEM was experiencing poor leak rates with their plasma cutting systems. Learn more about how �ǳ�web's solution significantly increased the performance and efficiency of their system.

Problem:

Welding equipment OEM faces high operational costs and poor leak rates

A welding equipment OEM was experiencing a number of challenges with their plasma cutting systems. The systems traditionally consume over 100W of power, leading to high operational costs and inefficiency. Additionally, poor leak rate performance can waste expensive gases. Limited gas blending and pressure control capabilities were another issue that was impeding the cutting process. The lack of effective feedback mechanisms was hampering the regulation of cutting gas pressure and the maintenance of the gas shield around the cutting arc.

Solution:

�ǳ�web develops a comprehensive solution that enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and improves control

�ǳ�web designed a comprehensive solution that significantly improved the performance and efficiency for the OEM. The new system integrated 14 ES valves to pilot MJV cartridge gas control valves and five compact pressure sensors within three custom manifolds. This solution enhanced the system's energy efficiency by 90%, lowered operational costs, improved leak rate performance, and reduced the weight and size by 50%, making it more adaptable and easier to integrate into various industrial setups. Enhanced gas blending and pressure control capabilities optimized the cutting processes, while advanced feedback mechanisms ensured accurate regulation of cutting gas pressure and maintained the gas shield, thereby improving the quality and consistency of the cutting process.

Custom Refrigerant Valve for Monopolar RF Equipment

Rachel Desenberg — Tue, 25 Jun 2024 13:43:50 +0000

Category:

Applications

A cosmetic surgery OEM was experiencing challenges with the valves in their monopolar RF equipment. To address the issue, �ǳ�web developed a custom electronic valve with high-performance seals to meet the specific needs of the OEM's unique application.

Problem:

Valve leak issues undermine performance in OEM's monopolar RF equipment

An OEM of monopolar RF equipment for collagen regeneration required a specialized valve capable of withstanding high pressures and preventing refrigerant leakage. The existing valves were unable to maintain a low leak seal under the elevated pressures necessary for the application, and standard valves were not compatible with the R-134 refrigerant media.

.............................................................................

Solution:

�ǳ�web develops custom valve to meet OEM's specific application needs

�ǳ�web developed a custom electronic valve that incorporated high-performance seals suitable for the media and was specially engineered to meet the performance requirements of the application's high-pressure conditions. In this application, RF energy is transmitted to penetrate the skin, heating cells to promote new growth and improve elasticity, thereby restoring skin vitality. The valve precisely controls the flow of refrigerant media to cool the skin during this process, preventing surface burns. By collaborating closely with the OEM, �ǳ�web ensured that the valve achieved ultra-low leak rates and compatibility with noise and power requirements, providing a reliable solution that enhanced the equipment's performance.

Optimizing Pneumatic Control Systems with Injection-Molded Manifolds

Rachel Desenberg — Mon, 31 Jul 2000 18:57:54 +0000

Category:

Applications

Injection-molded manifolds can help solve some of the challenges industrial OEMs struggle with, including maintenance issues and energy inefficiencies that contribute to unnecessary downtime and high operational costs.

Problem:

Maintenance issues, downtime, energy inefficiencies, and increasing operational costs.

Industrial OEMs often face challenges when it comes to optimizing their pneumatic control systems. These systems are critical for maintaining precision and efficiency in a wide range of industrial applications, from material handling to assembly operations. Frequent maintenance issues, energy inefficiencies, and inconsistent performance can contribute to higher operational costs and unplanned downtime, disrupting production schedules and reducing overall productivity.

OEMs require solutions that are not only reliable and efficient but also scalable and cost-effective. The pneumatic control systems must integrate seamlessly into existing machinery, often within space and weight constraints imposed by the specific industrial environment. Additionally, there is a growing need to reduce energy consumption and enhance sustainability across operations, adding complexity to the challenge.

.............................................................................

Solution:

Special �ǳ�web valve banks with injection-molded manifolds

One way �ǳ�web is able to address these challenges is by upgrading the pneumatic control systems with compact, lightweight banks of valves on injection-molded manifolds. These three-way, two-position valves are selected for their versatility, reliability, and efficient air flow control, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. They offer precise control over pneumatic actuators, minimizing air leakage and reducing energy consumption throughout the system. This not only results in significant energy savings but also improves the overall performance and reliability of the machinery, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and increasing uptime.

Injection-molded manifolds feature a lightweight and compact design that fits easily within the space constraints typical of many industrial environments. Its modular construction allows for easy scalability, enabling OEMs to implement the solution across a variety of machines and production lines with minimal modifications.

Furthermore, the cost-effectiveness of the injection-molded manifold and valves ensures that the solution meets budgetary requirements, making it ideal for large-scale deployment across multiple facilities. The outcome is a highly efficient, reliable, and scalable pneumatic control system that addresses the immediate needs of industrial OEMs while supporting long-term energy savings and sustainability goals.

�ǳ�web's solution offers industrial OEMs a tailored approach to overcoming common pneumatic control challenges, delivering enhanced performance, reduced energy consumption, and improved operational efficiency across diverse production environments.
