First Intelligent Electronic Rotary Valves

For Advanced Fluid Control in Life Sciences

We’re transforming instrument fluid control by introducing the industry’s first Intelligent Electronic Rotary Valves (IERV). These groundbreaking valves integrate advanced precision sensors and predictive monitoring features to optimize system performance and improve reliability. Designed specifically for engineers, IERVs are ideal for applications in genomics, DNA sequencing, microfluidics, proteomics, and diagnostics systems.

Revolutionizing Fluid Control

Our new intelligent electronic rotary valves incorporate torque sensing, pressure sensing, and flow monitoring in low-pressure (LP) and medium-pressure (MP) configurations, allowing designers to monitor critical system parameters.

Key innovations and features:

  • Predictive Seal Loss Monitoring: Detects wear before it impacts system performance, reducing downtime, failure, and maintenance costs.
  • Torque-Sensing and Monitoring: Ensures optimal valve operation by detecting changes in torque, which can signal potential issues.
  • Flow Sensing and SPC Monitoring: Provides real-time feedback on flow performance, ensuring accuracy and consistency in fluid handling.
  • Pressure Sensing and SPC Monitoring: Combined with closed-loop feedback, this can protect against system clogs and bursts by limiting pressure spikes.
  • Multi-Position Configurations: Available in a variety of port configurations, up to 31 ports, Ø.010” orifice and up, with custom options to meet specific application needs.
  • ParLINK™ Software Integration: Allows users during prototyping to monitor valve performance and adjust settings through advanced communication protocols such as CAN-bus, RS-232, and GPIO.
  • Backlash monitoring & compensation: Predicts wear in the valve and ensures accurate port alignment.

The IERV series also offers a unique Best Position Teaching feature, which uses flow data during factory calibration to set optimal rotor positions to align with each individual port. Additional safeguards, such as reverse voltage and short circuit protection, ensure reliable performance. Predictive monitoring helps prevent costly system failures and enhance overall reliability.
