HRS compact recirculating chillers are designed to meet the widest range of single-point applications in both industrial and technology settings. The package design is robust enough for the factory, yet ergonomic and compact for lab installations. Coolant can be either heated or cooled within the set temperature range. Choose from six cooling capacities, air or water cooled refrigerant, and global power supply options. This model is compatible with 100 VAC power.

The HRR is a temperature control device mountable in a 19-inch rack.  Rack mounting recovers desktop or floor space, permitting stacking of related devices and mobility, depending on the rack style.  Recirculating fluid removes heat from the process source, which is then removed from the fluid by an air cooled refrigeration circuit.  Air cooling frees the installation from dependence on facility cooling water.  Coolant temperature stability is ±0.1°C within a set temperature range of 5 to 35°C.  This device is self-contained with coolant and refrigerant circuits, fan cooled heat exchanger, electronic controls, pump, tank and power supply.

The HRLE is a temperature control device featuring two independent cooling channels in one package.  This thermo chiller is designed to cool the optical head and oscillator of a laser processing system.  Considerabe space savings can be realized compared to a two chiller solution.  All operation can be managed from a single touch panel.  Compared to the HRL, the HRLE targets medium-sized 3-4kW lasers and simplifies the internal components.  Heat extracted by the refrigerant cycle can be either cooled with a fan (air type) or with facility water (water type).  Space and energy are saved using a single fan (air type), compressor, pump and tank.  The heating function uses waste heat from the refrigerant discharge instead of a separate electric heater to improve efficiency and reliability.  Several features are optional to reduce the cost of the basic unit.  These options include DI water capability, electrical conductivity control kit, bypass piping, automatic water fill kit, particle and fluid fill filters, and a ball valve set for adjusting coolant pressure and flow rate.

The HRL is a temperature control device featuring two independent cooling channels in one package.  This thermo chiller is designed to cool the optical head and oscillator of a laser processing system.  Considerable space savings can be realized compared to a two chiller solution.  All operations can be managed from a single touch panel.  A triple inverter controls power consumption of the fan, pump, and compressor for optimal energy savings.  The heating function uses waste heat from the refrigerant discharge instead of a separate electric heater to improve efficiency and reliability.  The HRL is copper free and suitable for DI water, including a DI filter and electrical conductivity control kit.  Additional standard features include a 5µm particle filter, earth leakage breaker, and casters for mobility.

PF3W is a digital flow sensor that constantly monitors water or coolant flow.  PF3W refreshes the design and operating performance of the legacy PF2W model.  The body is up to 40% smaller in volume, and requires shorter straight piping for improved installation flexibility.  The upgraded 2-screen, 3-color numerical display rotates in both CW and CCW directions, offering improved visibility in a range of orientations.  Two outputs are available, including two switch signals, or a switch and analog signal.  Options include a mounting bracket, flow adjustment valve and temperature sensor to monitor flow and temperature simultaneously.  PF3W is grease-free, IP65 rated, and C-UL-US, CE and RoHS compliant.

FC3W is a flow controller for water between 0-50°C. A motor driven adjustable flow valve works together with feedback from a Karman vortex flow sensor to establish a flow rate corresponding to an analog input signal. When a single water supply source is divided into multiple lines, the flow rate between lines can be inconsistent. FC3W controllers can adjust flow on each line to a constant rate. Power, control, and error status LEDs confirm operation. The device is also grease free and IP65 rated. Please be aware that FC3W does not include a flow shutoff feature. Pair the controller with a VXZ 2-port solenoid valve to stop flow for any reason. Meets CE, UKCA and RoHS certifications.

Series SGC coolant valve, with both CE and RoHS accreditation, provides the perfect solution for high speed machining. Due to the SGC’s unique scraper, squeeze seal, grease channel and dry bearing construction, the valve’s service life will exceed 5 million cycles.

CH2 double acting hydraulic cylinders conform to JIS B 8367 specifications.  Surge pressure generated when running into the cushion has been reduced by 30% or more compared to the CH series, due to the CH2's cushion seal system.  Separate construction of the rod cover simplifies maintenance.  Available in bore sizes 32mm to 100mm.  All series types are available with auto switch capability with the exception of the steel tube type.

SMC has improved product performance and reliability with the redesigned SY series valve.  The SY3000 and SY5000 have the same valve width as their predecessors, but the flow has been increased by up to 80%, allowing the valve size to be reduced. A built-in strainer in the pilot valve prevents trouble caused by foreign matter. By using H-NBR seal material for the main valve and seals, Ozone resistance has been improved.   Side, top and bottom port/pipe directions are available to allow flexible installation.  The SY is available in body ported or base mounted styles, and can be used individually or manifold mounted.
