Pneumatics expert Norgren has introduced its KIP product range of solenoid valves to the European market. KIP components have been designed to easily adapt to customers’ specific needs. Special voltages, flow and pressure deviations, custom designed bodies, special porting, electrical connectors and plating of housings and manifolds can all be altered to suit specific applications. Manifolds are the specialty and deliver the most value to the customer. Nick Testanero, VP Sales Norgren, and former President of KIP said: “We have found in the US market that of the 1.8 million valves we produce each year around 70% are customised in some way. We can also offer Fusion Deposition Modelling in-house for rapid prototype production from 3D CAD drawings. This means we can help our customers develop the valve that meets their needs exactly.” The KIP range is currently used in the US for applications in the medical, food and beverage, commercial vehicle, welding and semiconductor sectors as well as for general industrial applications. Testanero adds: “We can now share global availability with local sales and service support.”
