“The electric universal spray valve for reliable and consistent application of low to medium viscosity media combines smart technology in the smallest space. With integrated electronics for control, monitoring and evaluation, Ethernet-based bus system, four DIOs for connecting peripheral devices, temperature control and pressure sensor for analyzing the process pressure curve, the spray valve offers maximum flexibility, user-friendliness and process reliability in application. It is suitable for both intermittent and continuous application of different media (e.g. oils, release agents, paints, greases, etc.). Since no additional control technology, software or programming is required for integration, this is done in a cost- and time-saving manner. Direct access via web interface also enables quick and easy commissioning as well as flexible parameterization using a computer, tablet or smartphone. Additional features such as the control of the atomizing air via a proportional pressure valve (the control system otherwise required for this is omitted), the built-in pushbutton for manual actuation and the subsequent expandability via upgrade round off the extensive performance features of this new valve type. Due to its very compact dimensions, it can be integrated not only into new plants and systems, but just as easily into existing ones.”
