Stainless Steel Air Atomizing Spray Nozzles

EXAIR's Air Atomizing Spray Nozzles atomize fluids (most commonly water) in a range of spray patterns for a variety of uses. They combine liquid and compressed air to create a mist of atomized liquid that can be easily adjusted to meet the needs of your application. All models use stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance. Air atomizing spray nozzles are available in 1/8 NPT, 1/4 NPT and 1/2 NPT sizes in 3 styles: internal mix, external mix and siphon fed.

Effective tool change cleverly designed with inductive miniature sensors

In modern processing centers, inductive sensors are the components of choice for monitoring the motor spindle clamping process. Integrated into the spindle, they must be exceptionally small and offer high repeatability to ensure smooth tool changing at all times. Baumer offers a high-performance portfolio of miniature sensors for the intelligent design of effective spindle solutions. This can either involve a classic design with three switching sensors or a smart design with one measurement sensor.
