Applications
Pneumatic preset counters are used for
controlling and monitoring operating sequences
capable of being expressed as numbers in
pneumatic circuits, systems or equipment.
After the counter has counted the preset number
of pneumatic pulses, which can represent a
number of items or a number of operating
cycles, it emits a pneumatic output signal which
is used to start the next following process or
operation. The preset value can be selected
anywhere between 1 and 99999.
