Plug and Play with: UR3(e), UR5(e), UR10(e), UR16(e) Operate by Simply connecting 1 compressed air supply tube and an electrical wiring M8 connector. Integrated vacuum ejector, air supply/release valve, pressure sensor and cups Standards: Conforming to ISO9409-1-50-M6 URCap – Plug and Play software incorporated with the teaching pendant.
Situation: Your rodless air cylinder needs to move to mid-position repeatably. The air cylinder hits a mid-point sensor and tries to stop. It continues to slowly move and eventually does stop. That will not work for this application. For this application on this new machine, I need the rodless cylinder to stop at mid-position +/- […]

By Charles J. Murray, Senior Technical Editor Reprinted from Design News Completing engineering school doesn’t make you an expert – at least in fluid power. Here’s some of the most common fluid power mistakes most courses never cover, and how to avoid them. Face it: If you were educated in a four-year mechanical engineering curriculum, […]
Pneumatic Maintenance Situation A machine operator running an automated assembly machine notices air leaking from the exhaust port of a 5-station valve manifold and notifies the maintenance team. A maintenance technician does confirm that compressed air is constantly leaking from the one of the exhaust ports of the valve manifold. He shuts off the main […]
Knowing How to Choose an Air Solenoid Valve Can Improve Pneumatic System Safety: As a design engineer with the task of selecting solenoid air valves for your new machine, there are many things to consider: what port size do I need? what voltage? individual valves or on a manifold? I thought I would share this […]
