The pneumatic proportional valve controls the outlet pressure in proportion to an electrical command input signal. It comprises a complete closed loop servo system in a compact mono block assembly with proportional solenoid valve, electronic regulatior and internal pressure transducer. The valve works as a slide valve and is designed for flow applications such as thermal cutting. The digital control system offers advantages at installation and commissioning for adapting the valve to special applications. The regulator can be set and optimised using a PC, RS232 adapter and software. Data record can be saved and used for further valves. The valve has no constant bleed. At absence of input signal or supply voltage the valve exhausts.
