“Built on proven KB servo proportional valve technology, the KBH valves demonstrate Eaton’s continuing commitment to innovatively solving customer challenges,” commented product manager Giuseppe Scozzarella. “With the high-flow, two-stage design, the reliability, improved diagnostics and configuration flexibility made possible by AxisPro can now be applied to a wider range of industrial machinery.”
As with earlier single-stage valves, the two-stage version offers on-board motion control, enabling closed loop drive control without the need for expensive motion control cards. The valve features built-in diagnostic LEDs and a CANopen bus interface that makes system commissioning and debugging easier.
The valve, which is available with pressure sensors if required, is rated for ambient operating temperatures between -25°C and 70°C, as well as sealed to IP65/67.
AxisPro product training sessions, which are available on request, provide a hands-on opportunity for machine builders to configure valves and commission motion control systems in a variety of control modes.
