The newly developed module is a closed-loop control unit which regulates pneumatic pressure precisely. It operates based on electronic differential pressure control of the pneumatic cylinder and is active along the entire stroke range. It allows operators to control any force or position at a process-optimized movement speed with an extremely high degree of repeat accuracy.

The position is determined using a non-contact incremental position measuring system with continuous referencing. Together with the pneumatic drive, this forms a freely programmable drive system for speed-optimized sonotrode movement (SpeedControl).
