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.
