Another day in the workshop; yet there are many smaller projects, regular ongoing projects or different stages of larger projects that are worthy of some focus. Today, we see the finished product of a regular job for PSI who take in 20-30 zinc coated frames at a time and apply pneumatic engineering skills to produce…
The problem A customer in the beverage industry was using standard OEM supplied ISO valves on their filling machines and found that regular cleaning washdowns with caustic solution was causing the standard valves to corrode. The solution PSI Technologies provided a direct drop-in replacement MAC ISO valve and base with a corrosion resistant nickel-plating modification….
There’s many an image of aisle cranes gliding up and down automated facility aisles collecting and delivering goods to and from all levels of shelving and PSI have been involved in one such project; delivering a safety buffer solution. What was the problem? There comes a point when the crane needs to stop, which it…

This video clearly and simply demonstrates the exceptional benefits of MAC’s Proportional Flow Control (PFC-STP) for liquids or gases. The unit is actuated by stepper motor technology (STP), providing high precision, accurate response times and low hysteresis (a constant flow through the PFC is guaranteed for the opening or closing signal). Combined with the power…
MAC valves has picked up on a distinct upward trend in one of their valves – the MAC series 26 Bullet Valve® is in demand for the specific application of hot melt gluing. This likely correlates with the continuing pressure on the packaging industry to be innovative while also maintaining efficiencies, and the recognition that…
PSI are delighted to be working with a smaller independent welding company on a robotic application, more specifically, a cobot application which doesn’t need a purpose made welding cell. What was the problem? The customer works across many industries, welding and producing forgings and assemblies with typical work on agricultural, mining and quarrying tools that…
PSI have integrated PHD clamps into the assembly line of one area of the press shop of an automotive company for 10 years and an extended solution is now being applied in other areas, in addition to replacing those clamps coming to end of life. What was the problem? Changes of tooling in the assembly…
PSI Technologies are known as integrators of complex engineering projects, which means the deployment of a combination of skills from electronic design to control systems to programming. These case notes on PSI’s build of a train nose coupling system describe an intricate, extensive and fast-moving project with Tidyco, a hydraulic and pneumatics supplier to the…
MAC’s innovative Bullet Valve®Pump Technology has gone from strength to strength as new and novel applications continue to open up. This is in response to samples being sent out to new project developments, which is all part of the “projects to products” process. The pump is self priming, so there is no need for an…
