Air Sensing Control Kit

Confirmation and Feedback

Air Sensing Control Kit for Pneumatic Confirmation Systems

  • Adjustable air pressure and flow gives you the ability to monitor most confirmation valves, part present or clamp position systems.
  • Easy electronic pressure switch adjustment with 2 PNP/NPN digital set points and 1 analog output to meet your specific needs.
  • Can be used with Pallet Decouplers, Pneumatic Confirmation Valves, Part Present Sensing Work Supports or self-made part location orifices.
  • Ready-to-use kit with everything you need to feed back a confirmation signal of your choice!

Recommended Pneumatic Circuit Design

  • Parallel circuit design with minimum of 0.125″ inside diameter feed line size
  • Circuit design should be simple and free from flow restrictions that can cause excessive pressure drop.
  • The maximum number of Return Position Sensors in one circuit is a function of the circuit design and pressure drop over the length of the circuit path. Vektek has tested 10 devices plumbed in parallel with excellent results.
Pneumatic Circuit Design

Recommended System Setup

  • Set air pressure regulator to 12 psi when all Work Supports in the system are in the retracted position.
  • Adjust and set air flow control so that air pressure falls to 3 psi when the work support at the furthest point of the pneumatic circuit is in the extended position and all other supports in the circuit are retracted.
  • Set the air pressure sensor Retract switch point to 10 psi.
  • Set the air pressure sensor Extend reset switch point to 5 psi.
