SPCS Introduction
Introduction
The Servo Pneumatic Control System (SPCS) is a high flow pneumatic motion control valve that when combined with a position feedback actuator provides a “closed loop” positioning control system that quickly and accurately positions a payload.
System configuration and setup is completed by using a standard USB connection and Bimba’s SPCS software. The valve is IP65 compatible and can be used with both linear and rodless actuators with either an internal or external positioning transducer.
