SMC is further expanding its range of electric actuators with the launch of the new LECP1 series programless controller. This new series offers a maximum of 14 speed/position patterns that operate from a binary parallel input and doesn’t require the use of a PC or teaching box for programming. Both position and speed for each step can be set via the front display through a set of push buttons, for jogging the actuators position, and trimmer switches offering 16 levels of acceleration and velocity. The controller not only offers positioning control but also allows for both pushing operation, with 3 pushing settings available, and vertical operation when connected to actuators with integrated lock.

The new IDHA series Thermo-Dryer offers the stable supply of temperature and pressure controlled dry clean air. Through the use of a PID controlled refrigeration circuit the IDHA can offer accurate temperature stability over a range of 15-30°C. The series is available in two body sizes covering flow rate ranges of 100 to 500l/min and 200 to 800 l/min. The product is supplied with an integrated pressure regulator and is available with built-in filtration as an option. The series also comes with a number of preset functions such as Power Failure Auto-Restart, Auto-Tuning and Key Lock, and with a built-in alarm warning if the temperature exceeds the set point beyond an arbitrary amount.  Product performance can be easily monitored through the large display on the product’s front panel detailing current temperature, set temperature and with the use of two gauges both air pressure and air dew point are displayed.

Carrying on from the launch of the compact PF3W series flow switch with integrated temperature sensor SMC has further extended the range with the launch of a number of new features. The maximum flow rate for the series has now been expanded from 40l/min to 100l/min with the introduction of the 1” body PF3W511. A remote sensor and display type is also now available allowing the flow switch to be installed into tight spaces and with the use of SMC’s copy function up to 10 displays can be programmed from one master unit saving in setting up time. Flow adjustment can now be provided with an integrated adjustment valve which is also compatible with the series integrated temperature sensor.
The new PVC body type allows for use with De-Ionized Water and other chemicals.

The IDG membrane dryer series offers extremely low pressure dew point for applications that require extremely dry air. Ideal for use in areas such as spray painting, where any water in the air line could spell disaster, the IDG can offer dew points as low as -70°C. The series also has the benefit of not requiring a power supply, so it can be applied at or near the point of use with little fuss.  As an option the IDG dryer is available with a dew point indicator allowing for easy inspection for maintenance. SMC’s energy saving policy has lead to a further development in the IDG range with the launch of the IDG_A which offers reduced operating costs of up to 30% thanks to a reduction in air purge during operation.
