1. Pneumatic System Leak Detection
Continuous monitoring of decay rates over time in automated packaging and bottling lines using the SPAU's high repetition accuracy (±0.3 %FS) and 3 ms rise time [4.2.8].
Problem SolvedIdentifies micro-leaks in pneumatic lines prior to failure, avoiding unexpected cycle shutdowns and increasing overall line efficiency.

2. Vacuum Cup Pick-and-Place Verification
Monitoring pressure levels at robotic end-of-arm toolings during part transfers by utilizing the vacuum-configured range of the SPAU sensor.
Problem SolvedGuarantees parts are safely gripped by halting robot movement immediately upon detectible pressure drops, avoiding dropped parts or process contamination.

3. Automated Assembly Line Mainline Regulation
Deploying the sensor at mainline distribution points to feed analog pressure metrics directly to a central PLC over IO-Link or via 4-20 mA outputs.
Problem SolvedMaintains highly repeatable clamp and press force levels by sending real-time safety alerts and locking machine operations if supply pressures drop.
