Eaton, the power management company, has announced the advancement of its AxisPro® industrial valve platform, including new two-stage valve offerings and release of its all new Pro-FX® Configure software. The latest capabilities are designed to offer ease of configuration, enriched user flexibility, enhanced reliability and improved diagnostics to a wider range of industrial machinery.
Eaton’s AxisPro valves are now available in two-stage D05 (NG10) and D07 (NG16) designs. The valves provide the same high performance and closed-loop control capability of Eaton’s single-stage AxisPro valves, but in a higher flow package. The new sizes round out the AxisPro valve portfolio, which features single-stage and two-stage valves that accommodate flow rates of up to 375 LPM.
“The new two-stage valves help fill the gap in flow capacity between our existing single-stage D05 and two-stage D08 offerings,” said Susan Harris, global product manager for industrial valves, Hydraulics, Eaton. “The AxisPro valves bring the easy configurability, precision, repeatability and reliability to mid-range applications, helping OEMs improve machine performance and productivity.”
Eaton has also updated Pro-FX Configure, the programming software for AxisPro valves. Featuring parameter-based tuning and a complete wizard-based setup, the all new Pro-FX Configure 2.0 enables users to configure and tune AxisPro valves by following a streamlined, step-by-step graphical workflow. The new version significantly improves ease-of-use resulting in easier valve setup that will greatly reduce setup time and costs.
