1. Lithium-Ion Battery Cell Automated Assembly Line
Deployment of the manifold rail to control multiple pneumatic actuators and gripping systems involved in the delicate stacking, folding, and packaging of Li-ion battery cells.
Problem SolvedStandard pneumatic components often contain copper, zinc, or nickel, which can contaminate battery materials and cause dangerous internal short circuits. This manifold solves the issue as it is explicitly rated for battery production with reduced Cu/Zn/Ni values (F1a), safely managing up to 16 valve positions within a highly compact 10.5 mm grid dimension to maximize spatial efficiency on the assembly machine.

2. ISO Class 5 Cleanroom Semiconductor Wafer Handling
Integration of the manifold rail into robotic wafer handling stations, coordinating vacuum ejectors and precision pneumatic cylinders to transfer delicate semiconductor wafers safely.
Problem SolvedContamination from airborne particulates or outgassing components severely degrades semiconductor yields. This product mitigates this risk through its certified ISO 14644-1 Class 5 cleanroom suitability. Additionally, its ability to operate reliably down to -0.9 bar perfectly supports vacuum suction applications, all while weighing only 156 g to minimize the payload on moving robotic gantries.

3. Automotive Paint Shop Robotic Spray Control
Utilization of the manifold rail within automated automotive paint booths to supply and sequence pilot air to pneumatic spray guns and manage fluid delivery valves.
Problem SolvedPneumatic components in painting environments often release silicones or other paint-wetting impairment substances (PWIS), leading to costly paint defects like cratering. This wrought aluminium alloy rail solves this by guaranteeing LABS/PWIS conformity (VDMA24364-B1/B2-L), ensuring flawless paint finishes, while its CRC 2 moderate corrosion resistance withstands the harsh chemical environments typical of paint shops.
