Mass flow controllers for efficient gas control

Mass flow controllers (MFC) are crucial for precise and stable control of gas flows – regardless of pressure and other external influencing variables. They are essential in semiconductor manufacturing and medical technology in particular. But what measuring principles exist? What advantages do vacuum technologies offer? And what trends will drive the future? Werner Alber, an expert in mass flow control at Festo, will provide practical insights into current developments, innovative technologies and proven approaches to process optimization.

Efficient pressure and flow regulators

Pressure and flow rate are key parameters in pneumatic automation. While pressure refers to the force with which the compressed air acts on components, flow rate determines the speed at which pneumatic actuators move. But how can these variables be optimally regulated? And which new technologies enable efficient, precise, and intelligent control? Ulrich Sixt, expert for controlled pneumatics at Festo, answers these questions. In this interview, he talks about the importance of pressure and flow control, modern solutions for precise control, and the benefits of intelligent control loops in automation.
