Smarter, faster, easier

Smarter – Onboard controls and built-in diagnostics
Faster – Software configurability enables quick setup and real-time changes
Easier – Simple setup, commissioning, tuning and troubleshooting

Enhanced connectivity, expanded possibilities

Taking connectivity to the next level, AxisPro proportional valves offer advanced communication capabilities! The addition of these industry-leading protocols makes it even easier to integrate AxisPro valves into your custom machines.

Protocols supported: Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, Profinet and CANopen

Highly customizable, precise control

AxisPro valves bring advanced functionality directly into the valve body, combining onboard electronics, motion control, and built-in pressure and temperature sensing. This integration eliminates the need for separate motion controllers, simplifying system design and reducing wiring costs and machine build time. Whether you're building a centralized or distributed control system, AxisPro offers the flexibility to scale effortlessly by adding motion axes to existing machines. Designed for performance and engineered for efficiency, AxisPro helps you meet demanding application needs while keeping costs under control.

Streamlined setup via Pro-FX™ Configure v2 software

Pro-FX™ Configure PC software offers a streamlined, step-by-step workflow which takes the user through valve setup for specified control modes including spool position, cylinder position, pressure, speed, or force. The software enables you to configure the valves by connecting via Ethernet, CANbus or USB, simplifying everything from setup to tuning and commissioning.

Easy maintenance and troubleshooting

By integrating controller functions into the valve, AxisPro valves maximize machine performance and minimize unscheduled maintenance. Onboard diagnostics and built-in LEDs provide real-time status and quick troubleshooting, making it simple identify any issues that may arise.
