Finding a company with the ability to not only provide standard options in pneumatic valves but to also all for custom design of valves is always an important consideration for an OEM.
However, there are other reasons why different companies may way to develop custom valves. Repair services may require custom valves to replace the valves on older equipment no longer carried by the manufacturer or to replace the valves on the imported equipment in a shorter period of time than trying to track down the original equipment manufacturer.
Not all pneumatic valve manufacturers work directly with custom valve design. In addition to just being able to complete the design and manufacturing process, it may also be essential to consider quality control, production volume limitations and the ability to deliver the order to the schedule required by the OEM.
Online Design Capability
One simple way for any engineering department or in-house design team to develop the ideal valve for the job is to work with pneumatic valve manufacturers offering online design templates. Using the software provided on the valve manufacturer’s website, your team can simply input the desired materials, components and specifications for the valve and it can be produced to those requirements.
Before completing this step, it is a good idea to look through the catalog of the existing pneumatic valves the manufacturer has in stock. It will save both time in design and manufacturing as well as offer a slightly lower cost if a standard type of pneumatic valve can be used in the application.
Always check the experience and the industries served by the pneumatic valve manufacturers before choosing the right company to partner with for an order. When the manufacturer has expertise in working within an industry, the final product is sure to meet all industry requirements as well as your specifications.
