Things To Look Out For When Selecting Koganei Pneumatic Valves
When it comes to selecting the right Koganei pneumatic valves for your needs, there are a few factors that you have to pay attention to. By giving these factors the proper attention, you will keep from running the risk of choosing the wrong valve, and finding out only when it is too late, and the valve has caused a leak or malfunction in your production process, costing you valuable time and money. Besides the characteristics of the valves themselves, you should also look out for compatibility with Crouzet optical sensors, as these sensors are among the best available on the market and will be of great use to you in properly automating your production processes and establishing the necessary safeguards.
Selecting the right pneumatic valve is of such importance because of the sheer amount of pressure that the valves are subject to. In order for compressed air to do work, it must be placed under enormous pressure, and pneumatic valves bear a great deal of that pressure, so they must be perfectly fitting in order to ensure that they do their job properly. Also, they often undergo a lot of wear and tear throughout the production process, and must be durable enough to withstand a long period of use before having to be changed, otherwise they would simply be considered a waste of resources if frequent replacement was necessary.
Shifting forces is one of the main factors to consider when selecting a valve for a particular task. The higher the shifting forces, the more contamination a valve will work through during its working life. Ultimately, the reliability of a valve is dependent on its shifting forces and the higher those forces, the more reliable the valve. The method of achieving high shifting forces is to increase the speed of the valve. The faster the valve operates, the higher the shifting forces it generates, and the more reliable the valve is.
Balance is another key characteristic, as this determines whether the valve is able to ensure consistency throughout its operation. Throughout every production period, the degree of air pressure in the system does not remain constant, and is instead constantly fluctuating. A properly balanced valve will produce the same result no matter what the air pressure, however, thus ensuring consistency of the end products. The size of a drop of glue dispensed by a pneumatic dispenser should not change as the air pressure changes. That drop of glue should be the same size every single time no matter what the air pressure is.
Finally, the orifice size of the valve determines how easily the valve becomes clogged and malfunctions. The larger the orifice size, the more difficult it is for it to become clogged. The counterpoint to that, however, is that a larger orifice size requires a higher air pressure to achieve the same outcome.
Ultimately, your choice of Koganei pneumatic valves should be driven by the concerns laid out above, and after you have conducted a balancing exercise of reliability, cost, and efficiency to determine just what type of valve you need. By getting the optimal valve for your purposes, and combining it with Crouzet optical sensors, you will have a set-up that is optimized and efficient.
