We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pneumatic Valves",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Pneumatic valves dispense with accuracy from
Intertronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "For industrial liquid dispensing, pneumatically controlled valves are robust, accurate, can be cycled quickly and in many cases can be implemented at low cost with several benefits".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Metal substitutes cut manufacturing costs from
Lati Industria Termoplastici: "The good processibility of the polymers means that components can be manufactured in a single injection moulding process, which leads to significant manufacturing cost reductions".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Parker Hannifin
concerning its Adex A00, VA01, VA05, EVM and EV15
- take a look at Pneumatic valves promise low maintenance
which says: "Valves are designed with reliability in mind, with operating lives up to 300 million cycles".
Take a look also at the news release from Omega Engineering, Encyclopedia covers pressure products,
as well as Energy efficiency installation saves money from Mitsubishi Electric Automation Systems,
and Pneumatic valves compensate for wear from Parker Hannifin.
