The function is based on a single-acting vented pneumatic piston with spring return. As a result of its structure, the ZK1000
series product reduces interference contours, thereby enabling simple integration into the machine design.
The ZK1000 series makes it possible to use different cutting geometries and materials.
The ZK1000 series has an integrated magnetic field sensor. This ensures process reliability for sensing the positions and
transmitting them to the control system.
