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.
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.
