Introducing the new PV12 Pulse Valve by MAC Valves
The family of MAC Pulse Valves has been a game-changer in the world of dust collection. The PV series patented design valve works better, is more efficient, fails less often saves energy costs and produces a quick ROI.
• Vertical oriented bonded spool for superior reliability and low leakage
• 93 Series Pilot for consistent and high speed shifting of main valve
• Internal and external pilot configurations for use in high and low pressure applications
• Valve base accommodates 180˚ and 90˚ degree inlet/outlet orientations in 2-1/2” and 3” pipe sizes
• 175Cv
Drop-in Solution
Building on the success of the MAC Pulse Valve Series, the PV12 combines high flow and best in class performance with a form factor that is equally suited to retrofit and new machine builds. The base can accommodate inline and right angle plumbing, while the valve itself is adapter friendly.
Performance and Value
MAC Pulse Valves are known to deliver higher and more consistent pulse magnitude as compared with diaphragm valve technology. This performance, combined with the longer life and low leak characteristics of a bonded spool pulse valve, translate to lower total cost of ownership.
Art Gesell/FPE Automation is the winner of the PHD Inc. Distributor of the Month Award for June 2020
John Ross, Vice President of North America Sales for PHD Inc. announced today that Art Gesell is the recipient of their top award for June 2020. Here is what he had to say*:
Art worked with an aerosol can producer to replace non-U.S.-made cylinders on a machine. In seeing the application firsthand and understanding that the old standard piston rod was too soft for the application, Art was able to offer that observation to the PHD Unique Solutions team. Through discussions with the customer’s industrial engineer and PHD's Unique Solutions group, Art was able to offer the customer a drop-in replacement with improved strength rod material, which was failing on the old cylinder. Delivery was also an issue previously. PHDdelivered a solution in only three weeks.
PHD excels at providing productivity improvement solutions. It's possible we can offer you more than a lower cost drop-in replacement. Please reach out to FPE Automation if you'd like to take the next step.

The FPE Automation team created a virtual tour of their two authorized, state-of-the-art training and technology facilities.
FPE Automation has two technology and training facility locations. One is in the greater Chicagoland area, located in Elk Grove Village, near Chicago's O'Hare airport. The other is in Sunset Hills, Missouri, and serves the greater St. Louis region.
When they opened, the two facilities were among the first of their kind in the world. Today, they feature capabilities and product demos not available anywhere else in the region.
Here at FPE Automation, we feel that the education of our customers and their employees is paramount in the successful implementation of In Plant Automation, in particular Collaborative Robots, Vision and Motion Control.
Each location features a spacious area with a Universal Robot collaborative robot, a vision camera and a conveyor at every workstation for hands-on training. Interactive classes take place on a regular basis. FPE Automation training is factory certified and taught by field experienced instructors. We offer authorized Universal Robots CORE training, and it doesn't end there. You can learn about machine vision, safety and numerous other industry hot topics at FPE.
In addition to training, both facilities feature a state-of-the-art technology center. There, we demo and test today's cutting edge automation, like vision systems, the latest industrial robotics, 3D bin picking, ai and more. Visitors can see the products at work in person, or we can schedule an online virtual meeting for you. Whether you need a proof of concept, or just want to check out the technology, we can make that happen.
Tech support and service are a particular strength of ours. That's because we have a team of award-winning application specialists to assist you. They're among the best in the business, and they're here to help.
All of this is designed to increase your comfort level and success of the automation implementation at your facility. The goal is to increase your company's efficiency and profitability through smart automation that makes sense.
All of us at FPE Automation would like to say thank you to our customers. FPE opened its doors in 1963. It is through your continued loyalty through the years that we were able to make the investment in these two facilities. That allows us, in turn, to better serve you. For that, we are extremely grateful.
We hope you enjoy this virtual tour of our technology and training centers with us today! We look forward to working with you soon.
This unique team of two experts with specific expertise in the welding and cobot sectors will explain how you can solve labor shortages and minimize risk of injury by using collaborative robots to perform welding tasks. Josh Pawley from Vectis and Jomy Vadakumpadam will talk realistically about the benefits of cobot welding and how you can make this turnkey system a reality for your business without automation hurdles. The webinar will feature a live welding example and we will show the teach pendant/UR Cap right on screen during the demo.
