Save costs by managing “energy gobblers”

June 10, 2025 By Rachael Pasini

The Energy Services Act is a key piece of legislation in Germany that aligns with the EU Energy Efficiency Directive. It mandates that large enterprises conduct regular audits to improve energy efficiency and reduce overall consumption or potentially face fines up to €50,000. Such legislation drives technology innovation and increases the adoption of efficient machinery, […]

Exhausted actuators can finally breathe with the ERDP Remote Drive

February 5, 2025 By Rachael Pasini

The ERDP Remote Drive is a closed-loop system that captures energy and enables more efficient designs. Air leakage is an accepted challenge in pneumatics applications. It is considered unintentional and requires maintenance and continuous monitoring. However, pneumatic systems are also designed for frequent intentional air releases as part of regular operation, which exhausts usable energy […]

Switching to auto-teach sensing saves time

June 17, 2024 By Rachael Pasini

Sometimes, the smallest change makes the biggest impact. Here’s why one machine builder no longer adjusts proximity switches on pneumatic actuators. Proximity switches are used to monitor and control the position of pneumatic actuators. They include sensors that detect the presence or absence of an object within a specified range without making physical contact with […]

Cloud-based data prevents compressed air system downtime

May 14, 2024 By Rachael Pasini

Industry 4.0 aims to increase efficiency, productivity, quality, and sustainability while optimizing supply chains and workforces. It sounds like a tall order, but as more manufacturers adopt the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), edge devices, and cloud-based technologies, the more such efforts are realized. Of course, one of the fundamental challenges is extracting and leveraging […]

Clippard releases new NPV-7 long stroke pinch valves

March 20, 2024 By Rachael Pasini

Clippard’s high flow pinch valve provides the same functionality as the standard series but with the added benefits of a longer stroke. This makes it suitable for applications that require greater flow or those that use viscous or particulate-laden media. As with all Clippard pinch valves, each valve comes pre-installed with 12 in. (30 cm) […]
