Product categories to discuss
Choose equipment for the actual process. These links do not establish a required configuration or industry project experience.
Before you buy
- Which machine tools, fixtures and auxiliary devices use compressed air?
- Which uses are tool changing, clamping, blow-off or continuous process air?
- What air volume or flow does the maker specify per cycle, with cycle rate and flow basis?
- Which events overlap, how long do peaks last and what sustained demand remains?
- What minimum pressure is required at the most distant machine and at critical clamps?
Further points to confirm
- What pressure dew point, filtration and oil limits are required by the machine maker?
- What existing receiver volume, pipe dimensions, observed pressure changes and backup are documented?
- A cycle-average flow is not the instantaneous flow during a tool change or blow-off.
- A local pressure problem is not proof that the whole plant needs a larger compressor.
