Pneumatic Confirmation Valve, Block

Confirm Clamp Stroke Position Pneumatically The pneumatic confirmation valve confirms the stage of loading before or after clamping. It is adaptable to multiple devices including: swing clamps, link clamps, cylinders and supports. Avoid machine crashes by confirming specific actions before you cycle your machine. It is designed to be used in both coolant and dry environments and is easily mounted either vertically or horizontally. Confirmation at its finest!  Easily fine tune your fixture choosing between set and differential pressure.  Confirm signal is based on restricting air flow when testing function is present.  Over-travel sensing will reopen if a device depresses plunger beyond the valve limit.  Use Pneumatic Confirmation Valve with almost any clamping device.  Assists in detecting missing or incorrectly loaded parts.  Remote venting recommended in coolant applications.  Feedback to machine automations and robotics through the pressure switch.  1/8 tube - M3 Connector Part No. P3-0370-20, Order separately.

ILS504089 REV C

Application Setup: Adjust actuator 0.025± 0.020 above valve body with clamp positioned at the bottom of clamping stroke. This will avoid valve and actuator damage if clamp over travels.
