One of the big strengths of digital controls is how easily they can be programmed to suit a variety of applications. Combine this with the versatility of electrohydraulics, and you can customize a system to match specific and changing parameters of virtually any application.
It should not be surprising, then, that new digital controllers from Atos spa, Sesto Calende, Italy, can be easily configured to manage closed-loop position, speed, or force axes, each using a digital electrohydraulic proportional valve.
The versatility is not limited only to control however, because the components can be mounted integral with the hydraulics or panel mounted — which ever best suits the application. Controls may also be interfaced with fieldbus controls, and they allow tuning of motion dynamics to simplify the automation architecture. They are programmed through a PC with easyto- use Atos software with an intuitive graphical user interface.
