Discover the intricacies of condition monitoring in our latest blog. Learn how to select the right sensors and equipment tailored to your process needs and budget.

Preventative maintenance and condition monitoring are not only independent concepts, but they are also ones that should not be treated with a one-size-fits-all approach. Learn more in the blog below.

Microelectronics are an inescapable and critical part of nearly every person's life.

Without highly efficient filtration at sub-micron particle sizes, these microelectronics technologies would be difficult if not impossible. Specific gas filters protect critical processes that require a particle free environment to manufacture devices with nearly nanoscale features.

The basic application for a VFD is one where an AC motor must be run with some aspect of control over the speed, accel/decel or torque. Cranes, fans, pumps, mixers, conveyors, and similar applications are all candidates for using a VFD.

With a competitive, evolving global marketplace, changes in outsourcing and scarce availability of engineering talent, the decision to make or buy conveyors is one that many companies face every day.

GOT provides an easily accessible interface for startup, commissioning, and control/monitoring VFD with pre-designed sample projects. Anyone can set it up in minutes by following the Quick Start Guide.

Don't wait until it's too late, Kyntronics' actuators can help prevent disasters and improve your bottom line.

Electro-Hydraulic Power Unit for use with Customer Cylinders.

Actuators are a critical component of the automation process. In fact, most of the heavy lifting for liquids, gases, and discrete motion control is done by actuators.  There is an important distinction, however, between actuator applications: process and discrete.

Mitsubishi announced the discontinuation of their old legacy J2S product line back in 2015 and official repair services for this product ended in August 2022. If you haven't already looked into upgrading to the J4, now is the time!

Is unchecked vibration affecting your bottom line??Vibration can bring any high-speed, high-precision process to an unexpected and costly standstill.

We've been finding more and more circumstances where customers find it beneficial to run their variable frequency drives (VFD) to failure, potentially damaging the VFD beyond repair. This is an interesting concept for people to wrap their mind around at first.

For both process and discrete motion control applications of actuators, many of the terminologies uttered and the base technologies utilized are similar. The difference comes with the application and evolution of these base technologies.

After 24 years, Parker's popular 6K has been discontinued. It was the follow-up to Parker's successful 6000 Series controllers which together spanned over 35 years of motion control history!

There seems to be this constant game of tug-of-war between Information Technology (IT) and Operation Technology (OT) personnel in industrial settings. In general, there are three misconceptions that OT personnel have about the IT department.

Evaluating the annual operating costs for different types of actuators provides a comprehensive picture of the Total Cost of Ownership. See how Kyntronics SMART Electro-Hydraulic Actuators (SHA) compared to traditional hydraulic power units (HPUs) with hydraulic cylinders.

Economy Solutions from Mitsubishi Electric provides a low-cost, reliable, powerful, and easy-to-configure bundle of components allowing OEMs and system integrators to integrate high-precision motion control quickly, effortlessly, and affordably into their applications.

Please join us April 12 - 14 in Anaheim, CA for the Automation Technology Tradeshow, ATX West. Valin will be exhibiting at the show where you will get to see the latest technology.

Large ELECYLINDER? Slider type with a longer stroke operates at higher speeds.

TTK Liquid Leak Detection Systems recently announced that TTK's digital liquid leak detection monitoring panel FG-NET is now the first compliant digital leak detection system with the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) address.

Don't let maintenance overwhelm your water leak detection system! Use patented dust-resistant water leak sensing cables from TTK Liquid Leak Detection.

Need drives to run your multi-axis system? It is hard to beat the Parker P-Series servo drive. Whether you have a belt actuator, a ballscrew actuator, an electric cylinder, a direct drive for a rotary table, or a linear motor, it's nice having a single compact cost-effective drive solution that can power your needs.

Kyntronics SMART Hydraulic Actuators combine the best features of hydraulic power with the precision of servo control (used in ball screw & roller screw electro-mechanical actuators), without the inherent disadvantages of those approaches.
