CD removes guesswork from rodless cylinder choice

A leading pneumatic solutions manufacturer has produced a new software package, as a CD, which allows designers and specifiers to take the guesswork out of Rodless Cylinder selection.

Leading pneumatic solutions manufacturer KV has produced a new software package, available free as a CD, which allows designers and specifiers to take the guesswork out of Rodless Cylinder selection. The CD, which is a powerful but very user friendly design tool, has been developed alongside the company's new range of Ultraline Rodless Cylinders, and includes the most common applications. It allows the design engineer to take 6 easy steps to input details of an application, see the calculated results of the suggested cylinder, and import 2D or 3D drawing files direct into the application design work.

The costs of over-engineering are well known, therefore accurate product selection can save both space and cost, by designing in the most appropriate product for the application, and the CD enables size and selection of Rodless cylinders to be made.

KV offers demonstrations of the selection software on request, and for those design engineers planning to use Rodless cylinders, a free copy is available.
