The cushioning adjustment of pneumatics cylinders is much easier, faster and more accurate with the new tool CAT. Smartphone, special app and the logical traffic light symbol make it extremely easy to use.
The diagnostic tool is simply fixed to the cylinder. CAT detects if and how the cushioning setting must be changed by evaluating the position and speed of the piston using magnetic sensors. The device only measures 5.5 by 8.3 centimeters and can be removed once everything has been set correctly. An integrated battery that can be recharged via a micro USB connection supplies the power. The associated app is compatible with Android and iOS smartphones. CAT can be used to commission and check Aventics cylinder series PRA, CSL-RD, MNI, ICL, ITS, TRB and CCL. The Cushioning Adjustment Tool adds to Aventics' wide range of engineering and assembly tools. Aventics' push to digitalize pneumatics aims to reduce costs, increase system reliability, simplify machine designs, and boost life cycles
