The Extra Dose of Safety
Intelligent solenoid valves, innovative maintenance units and an optimized flange valve generation were the topics at IMI Precision Engineering: The ICO4-PST from IMI Maxseal, which was the first valve of its kind to integrate partial stroke testing control electronics, stood in the spotlight Center of interest.
With the lowest failure values in the market according to the manufacturer, it offers the highest possible level of diagnostics with position, pressure and time monitoring. The high flow rate eliminates the need to install quick exhaust or pilot valves with boosters, explains IMI.

Valve specialist Gemü launched Conexo, a life-cycle management solution that includes RFID-tagged valves embedded in a dedicated IT infrastructure, and is fully traceable through serialization. The Conexo app should facilitate the so-called "installation qualification" and make maintenance processes more transparent.
The worker is guided through the maintenance schedule and has all the information associated with the valve, such as factory certificates, documentation and history, directly available, the manufacturer explains. In 2017, the valve experts expanded the system with a retrofit solution for existing systems and third-party products.
Everything Electric
Even with actuators, the trend is to replace mechanical functions with microelectronics, one is sure at Aris. Correspondingly, the company’s "Flexor" series presented in 2017 relies on an electronically controlled drive generation based on a helical gearbox in combination with a synchronous motor.
The mechanical shut-off system was replaced by a non-contact position detection based on the Hall effect. The technology was developed in the automotive industry and has proven itself through robustness, wide temperature range and reliability.
