Mechanical engineering and plant construction companies plan complex production lines, designed individually to meet customer wishes and needs. Hereby, one important issue is the installation of a compressed air network together with the necessary supply. A wide range of pneumatic systems such as tensioners, grippers, clamping devices, etc. work in the network. The system regulates the different operating pressures by means of pressure switches. They are installed upstream of the respective device to control the required operating pressure. In addition, pressure switches monitor the supply line pressures. Any deviation from the preset pressure is signalled as a fault or alarm and is used to control the compressor motors to restore the correct pressure.
