The PF3A8#H-L’s 100:1 flow ratio can detect small leaks of 10LPM or more and monitor main line air consumption and pressure up to 2000LPM, and simultaneously measure air pressure and temperature. The PF3A8#H-L three colour and two-line screen display can rotate in 90 degree increments, allowing operators to take notes and set the flow switch while checking the measured value.
SMC Corporation Australia New Zealand product marketing manager Guiomar Fernandez said the true benefit of this component lies in its ability to offer more detailed information thanks to its IO-link compatibility, together with switchable NPN/PNP output.
The modular flow sensor is durable through its bore type structure made with aluminium alloy. The brackets also allow the flow switch to be retrofitted on steel pipes systems and into legacy SMC’s air service units, while its modular design reduces the required installation space, piping and wiring work.
“All the process data (flow, pressure, temperature) as well as identification and configuration data for the PF3A8#H-L is transmitted with a single M12 standard connector (no special IO-link cable is required).
“This next generation modular flow switch offers greater flexibility and functionality, while being very simple to set and operate. This, coupled with low air loss, makes the PF3A8#H-L the ideal product for those who want to digitalise their processes and care about energy efficiency,” said Fernandez.
