Valin's Blog

On July 24th Valin hosted a career day for middle school students in support of Breakthrough Silicon Valley.  Breakthrough Silicon Valley empowers young people from underserved communities to reach their full potential.

Iwaki America recently announced the release of their IX-B Series of metering pumps, an expansion to the popular IX Series Pumps.  The IX-B Series flow control range is 0.002GPH (7.5mL/H) to 12GPH (45L/H) expanding the IX Series operational range DOWN significantly.

Walchem is always working to make their products better, and their new upgrade v3.17 for W900 / W600 / W100 / P100 Controllers adds several new features and improves the performance and reliability of existing features.

Parker's dedicated electromechanical business is an industry leader in solving positioning applications including those that require linear motor stages. Whether you need one component or an entire integrated system, Parker has the right engineered solution for OEM's of various markets.

WIKA's CPG 1500 digital pressure gauge provides the precision required to recalibrate and certify pressure instrumentation in the field and analyze process performance.

Valin donated aluminum framing and connectors to the students at San Jose State University so they could build a pod to house their magnetic levitation system for the Hyperloop Pod Competition.

A pressure regulator reduces an unregulated high input pressure to a regulated lower output pressure. Its primary function is to maintain the regulated output pressure under flowing and non-flowing conditions. Fairchild's Model M4100 Pneumatic Precision Regulator is a no bleed design regulator that precisely controls a set pressure.

Precise pressure control, where output pressures must be accurately held at low pressures down to 70 mBar (1 psi), has traditionally been a difficult task for industrial instrumentation. Rotork Fairchild's T7500 range of transducers is specifically designed for these low pressure control systems with set point accuracy of 0.1%.

The K6CM motor monitoring device can help maintenance personnel identify motors that need repair before they cause an unexpected line down situation.

The new F3SG-4RR global light curtains are a line extension that also includes productivity improvements with easy to mount brackets, Smartclick cables, and more indicators to expedite installation and reduce maintenance downtime.

End users are demanding more information from their power supplies to maximize uptime and the S8VK-X delivers with real time service life information that can be monitored from a central location.

Watlow®, an industry leader in the design and manufacture of complete thermal systems recently launched ASPYRE®, a new power controller family. Available in sizes ranging from 35 to 700 amps, the ASPYRE family is flexible, scalable, and offered with a variety of options. Learn more.

Watlow's OPTIMAX® is smaller and lighter than traditional heat exchangers and can help reduce the overall footprint by almost 50 percent. Although the size and weight are less, users will realize improved heat transfer efficiency and world-class pressure drop performance.

Watlow's F4T features a 4.3-inch, capacitive color touch panel with high resolution and a graphical user interface that provides customized control for even the most demanding applications. It provides intuitive navigation and screen personalization with user-defined specifications. Learn more.

The high-speed IXA SCARA Robot holds the fastest cycle times and yet achieves a lower price than previous SCARA models. The arch motion smoothly blends both horizontal and vertical motion to accomplish continuous high-speed cycle times.

For new liquid filtration applications or if you are considering upgrading your system consider the benefits of Cardinal's High Flow Cartridges over traditional 2.5" pleated or depth filters.

Rotork Fairchild's High Pressure - Pressure Reducing Regulator is suitable for 690 bar (10000 psig) inlet and outlet hydraulic and pneumatic applications.

Walchem recently announced the launch of their new WCU/WNI600 Series Copper and Nickel Controllers. The W600 series provides reliable, flexible, and powerful control for your electroless plating or etching process.

These new ultra-clean valves offer increased flow and provide better seat sealing for enhanced leak free performance and greater safety. They are designed to deliver the highest flow in the smallest package available.

Parker UHP fittings are designed as leak-free components for applications where ultra-high pure applications are required. MiniButtweld™ fittings provide compact ultra-high pure designs for use with orbital weld equipment. Their unique machining and surface enhancement prevent outgassing and inhibit corrosion.

VacuSeal™ Metal Gasket Face Seal Fittings provide extremely high leak integrity, making them suitable for use in critical applications where ultra-high purity conditions are required, such as semiconductor tool hook-ups, valve manifold boxes (VMBs), and gas distribution systems.

Introducing a new, competitively priced line of Parker metal face seal and weld fittings, designed for ultra-high purity (UHP) semiconductor applications such as manifold boxes, gas cabinets, and tool hookup.

Selecting materials for a given application is one of the main design steps towards a safe and cost-efficient system, yet a commonly overlooked stage, mainly performed from a purely economic standpoint.

ZWICK's check valve TRI-CHECK combines all the benefits of their TRI-CON Series in a non-return valve. Triple-offset design with a wide seat angle and a true cone in cone, no rubbing while moving, and absolute zero leakage performance.
