Stainless Valve Initiates Chip Cleaning Process
Stainless V alve Initiates Chip Cleaning Process Customer Application: Cleaning in the semiconductor industry is a highly corrosive process. A manufacturer of chip cleaning equipment contacted us for a pneumatic interlock device that would ensure a machine’s door was closed prior to this action. Since the valve would be installed inside of the machine, it was imperative that it wouldn’t be destroyed by the chemicals used. Application Requirements: Withstand harsh chemical environment Large overstroke for easy adjustment Pneumadyne’s Solution: After evaluating the system’s pneumatic circuitry, Pneumadyne engineers determined that our fully ported “300” Series valve was ideal for the application. A custom overstroke operator was designed to actuate the valve while providing the door latch wi
