Pneumatic Automation System

The first thing every machine sees: filters, regulates and (where needed) lubricates the incoming air so the valves and actuators downstream get clean air at a controlled pressure.

Tool-free push-to-connect in composite, technopolymer, brass, stainless and food-grade: the connection system that makes a pneumatic machine fast to build and service. SPC's deepest portfolio, anchored on Sang-A.

Push-to-connect bodies that also do a job: swivel a rotating connection, hold a line at the connection point. The Sang-A functional-fitting line; grows as the catalog is pulled.

The non-push-to-connect families: instrumentation double-ferrule for high-purity and analyzer lines, and DOT air-brake for commercial vehicle circuits. Different mechanism, different code basis.

The lines that route air to each actuator, selected by chemistry and motion, not by cost. PE, PU, nylon and fluoropolymer matched to the service.

The disconnects that let a tool or sub-assembly come off the machine without breaking the circuit: industrial, safety-vented and the plugs that mate them.

The plant-header conversation: extruded aluminum pipe with mechanical O-ring joints replacing legacy black iron. Fast install, no rust, leak-tight.

The switches of the system, solenoid, mechanical, manifold-mount and ATEX valves that route air to extend, retract and sequence each actuator, plus the seal kits that rebuild them.

Hand-operated and lockable isolation valves: point-of-use shutoffs for LOTO and service, ball and hand valves for manual on/off control.

Valve banks that talk to the PLC over a single network cable, plus electronic pressure regulation for closed-loop force control.

One per valve exhaust port: silences the discharge and keeps debris out. The highest-volume consumable on a pneumatic machine.

Linear motion in every body style: the core actuator. Choose by mounting, stroke, force and envelope.

Rotary motion for indexing and clamping, plus the electric drop-in path when a job needs programmable position or precise force.

Pick-and-place built from the air you already have: an ejector makes the vacuum, cups do the gripping, a sensor confirms the part.

The dials on the motion: meter a cylinder's speed at its ports, set flow direction, and hold load on a line. The second sale on every actuator.

End-of-stroke protection: shock absorbers that catch a moving load without slamming, protecting the machine frame and the cycle time.

The feedback loop: position sensors, pressure and vacuum switches that confirm motion and stream cycle data back to the controller.

The workstation and equipment-tie-in pieces that turn a fixed air drop into something usable: shop hose, retractable reels, and braided flex connectors for compressor or pump discharge vibration.

The manual and automatic safeguards that show up on water, oil, gas and compressed-air utility lines: lockable isolation, reverse-flow protection, and ASME relief where pressure is trapped.

The code-driven connection families adjacent to pneumatic builds: 316 stainless double-ferrule fittings for analyzer and sample lines, plus DOT air-brake fittings where the circuit is regulated.
