Proportional valves provide control in applications where output pressure or flow varies or is based on a dynamic set point. They provide control over air, gases, or water through rapid, highly precise responses, helping streamline applications while delivering repeatable control and the desired output. Laser cutting machines are one example of an application where proportional valves are used.
In this quick, minute-and-a-half YouTube video, Optimize precision regulation of Laser Cutting Machines with Proportional Technology | AVENTICS, Emerson’s Jonathan Mitchell explains how proportional technology enables precise regulation of gases in laser cutting applications, from as little as 300 mbar to 25 bar in pressure or higher. This allows the laser cut to be perfectly smooth.
Laser cutting is a highly dynamic operation that requires precise regulation of gases across a wide pressure range. The broad range of ASCO and AVENTICS proportional pressure control valves of low or high-flow, direct-acting, piloted, open or closed-loop proportional valves and regulators deliver ultra-reliable and precise performance.
