Compact pressure controller and sensor introduced

Requests from the electronics and semi-conductor industries for a compact pressure controller with a small lightweight pressure sensor have been answered.
SMC Requests from the market for a compact pressure controller with a small lightweight pressure sensor have been answered, with the latest series PSE 300/540 from leading pneumatics supplier, SMC. For use in the electronics and semi-conductor industries, Series PSE300 Controller and Series PSE540 Sensor, have been designed for ease of use, in high-speed applications requiring space saving solutions. The pressure controller (PSE300) with its 2 colour LED display and auto-preset function, has a switch output response time of 1ms.

With two digital and one analogue outputs, it can be used in various control environments and will not malfunction in the case of pressure fluctuation, due to its unique anti-chattering feature.

Series PSE300 can be mounted either longitudinal, or lateral and offers real space savings compared to other existing models.

Weighing in at 3.2g and offering up to 40% size reduction over existing products, the PSE 540 (pressure sensor) with flexible cable, can be mounted on almost every moving part and importantly, due to its compact size, close to the action.

This pressure sensor is available in a range of port size options, can include vacuum pads and also be mounted manifold style if required.

It can also be used in conjunction with existing control equipment using the standard 1-5V DC output signal in various control environments.
