Asco Joucomatic has produced a new publication dealing with all aspects of electropneumatic proportional valve control, including the latest fuzzy logic and piezo technologies, which are consolidating and expanding the role of proportional control into all areas of industry and medical technology The free booklet highlights the increasing role played by electropneumatic proportional valves in optimising production processes to improve quality and productivity in all areas of engineering, processing and medical technology. The valves are a key element in programmable control systems, the combination of intelligent electronics and powerful pneumatics constantly providing new and innovative solutions for the widest range of applications. The new publication provides an introduction to control technology, symbols and terminology. It then devotes four pages to applications and describes, with graphics, how Asco Joucomatic proportional valves are providing control of pressure and flow in such diverse applications as flight simulators, turbochargers, artificial hearts and endoscopy. The remaining sections of the publication outline the specifications and operating principles of Asco Joucomatic’s wide range of proportional valves.
