Increasing Productivity by Reducing Tool Change time with Multicouplings
"Many manufacturing processes have interchangeable tooling in their machines. These tools require pneumatic, hydraulic, chemical, or electrical connections to operate. Instead of connecting individual connections one at a time, they can be connected at the same time."
Pneumatics and the Internet of Things: What's Holding Us Back?
Pneumatics has had different diagnostic features for some time. For example, we can sense today whether the power is too low or too high, or whether there is a short circuit in an I/O system which caused some sort of failure.
Designing Safe Pneumatic Circuits
Pneumatic circuits can be safe when carefully examined and implemented. The designers can use the appropriate level of reliability based on their assessment of the risk and frequency of the potential risk.
Selecting Pneumatic Linear Slides for Automated Assembly Equipment
Rather than sizing up to a slide model with very large diameter guideshafts, you may be able to use a smaller model with the addition of the optional center support.

PI USA - Steering light beams: Pros and cons of different methods
Optical system designers utilize tried-and-true technology like galvo scanners, voice coil-driven steering mirrors, kinematic mirror mounts, and gimbal mounts. This article describes strengths and limitations of these technologies and looks at other light steering methods.
