Extended service provides pre-engineered
systems
A new extended design and build service for pneumatic/process/electronic panels and pre-engineered systems from ASCO Joucomatic cuts costs and reduces time to market
ASCO Joucomatic is meeting growing market demands for systems that reduce costs and improve time to market, with a new extended design and build service for pneumatic/process/electronic panels and pre-engineered systems providing high-tech pre-assembled automation systems and custom designed control cabinets Catering for designers and engineers in markets such as petrochemicals, food, process, automotive, general engineering and oil and gas, the new extended service exploits the unique ASCO Joucomatic ability to combine pneumatic equipment, process valves and electrical control equipment into tailor-made integrated packages of any size and configuration, including those that require non-metallic enclosures

Correct valve sizing in process applications
A discussion on the correct sizing of valves in process industry operations, which is essential for precision, quality and safety: oversizing is as bad in its effects as undersizing!
The extended service involves complete project responsibility from conception through design, manufacture, assembly and testing.
It covers both small and large production runs and offers the key benefit of simplifying equipment designs, making them more competitive, more compact and easier to assemble.
"What is increasingly evident today is that the complexity of modern machine designs cannot always be satisfied with standard fluid control and fluid power products, said David Minors, Manager of the ASCO Joucomatic System Division.

"The requirements for machine designs are becoming ever more demanding, and to meet these demands specialised assemblies and enclosures are often required.
This could involve ASCO Joucomatic in producing a totally individual design, or, more simply, modifying an existing product.
Whatever the requirement, a team of engineers and technicians is always on hand to provide the most cost effective solution, and the closest correlation between market demands and equipment performance.
The design and assembly of high performance pneumatic and process control systems has been a growth area for Asco Joucomatic both here in the UK and abroad.
For example, at our new facility we are currently assembling products ranging from ATEX certified control cabinets for Indian oil refineries, to actuator systems, which operate security doors in your local bank.
We have the capacity to produce a wide range of customised manifolds and distribution islands, while integrating the very latest electronic solenoid valves, proportional valves and actuators into field bus compatible systems. Request a free brochure from ASCO Joucomatic ...
In addition, onsite Asco Joucomatic development teams are committed to working closely with our customer's engineers, designing complete plug-and-play systems for a broad range of application requirements.".
