Automated Pressure Regulator

Overview

The APP Automated Pressure Regulator (APR) is a conventional manual pressure regulator that has been modified and automated to allow precise electronic and computer-controlled pressure regulation. APP integrates automation components such as motorized actuators, feedback sensors, and control electronics into commercially available regulators or customer-supplied units. The automated regulator provides precise pressure control over a wide range, from full vacuum to over 10,000 psi, depending on the selected regulator. The system enables automated pressure adjustment, programmable pressure profiles, and integration into automated testing or manufacturing systems.

  • Controller constantly monitors feedback lines and stops power in situations where the motor will be driven beyond the limits of travel.
  • Fully automated electronic pressure control using motorized regulator adjustment.
  • Works with many different types of controllers.
  • Can travel from lowest to highest pressure in about 30 seconds.
  • Does not require a pneumatic air source and allows flexibility in applications.
  • Minimal maintenance required.
