Danfoss Power Solutions<\/strong><\/a> announce the launch of its next-generation Level 1 AxisPro valve<\/a><\/strong>, rounding <\/a>out the line of Vickers by Danfoss servo performance software-configurable proportional valves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a new digital amplifier and support for industry-leading network protocols, the valve offers advanced performance, control, and seamless connectivity. Complementing the valve\u2019s launch is Pro-FX Configure v2, the redesigned software configuration platform featuring an intuitive interface, streamlined setup, and real-time tuning for faster and easier installations.\u00a0AxisPro valves are ideal for demanding industrial hydraulic applications such as presses, machine tools, factory automation, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next-generation AxisPro valves offer an upgrade to the Vickers by Danfoss KBSDG proportional valve lineup, giving customers a smarter, faster, and fully connected motion control solution. Designed for seamless integration into a wide range of applications, the new valves feature a digital amplifier and support for widely used network protocols such as Profinet, EtherCAT, Ethernet\/IP, and CANopen. The digital amplifier increases precision and improves tuning, enabling easier system optimisation and enhanced performance. Through flow linearisation, the valve delivers consistent, stable flow across all operating conditions. Dither and deadband adjustments eliminate valve stick-slip and dead zones, resulting in smooth and precise motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AxisPro valves feature a robust, high-performance design. The valves offer best-in-class power capacity and speed plus pressure gain of 2.05%. Ingress protection ratings of IP65 and IP67 plus ambient temperature ratings of 70\u00b0C (158\u00b0F) increase reliability. Optional corrosion resistance and extreme vibration resistance (up to 50g) further enhance the valve\u2019s durability for use in severe applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AxisPro valves are software configurable, enabling quick and simple setup, tuning, and commissioning. The valves are programmed using Danfoss\u2019 new Pro-FX Configure v2 software, which offers a streamlined step-by-step workflow for setup across control modes, including spool position, cylinder position, pressure, speed, or force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced tuning capabilities allow users to optimise control loops with real-time parameter adjustment, maximizing performance for specific loads, speeds, and conditions.\u00a0AxisPro valves support configuration via USB, Ethernet, or CAN bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The valve\u2019s integral diagnostics facilitate rapid troubleshooting, minimising system downtime. Top-mounted LED lights provide a real-time visual indicator of valve status, simplifying the identification of potential issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AxisPro Level 1 valves are available in six models. The single-stage KBSD14 is now available in 03 and 05 sizes (NG06 and NG10). The two-stage KBHD15 will be available in 05, 07, 08, and 10 sizes (NG10, NG16, NG25, and NG32) in November 2025. The valves are ideal for a wide range of industries, including primary metals, rubber and plastics, wood processing, pulp and paper, oil and gas, and civil engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more advanced application needs, AxisPro Level 2 and Level 3 valves offer servo-performance with dual motion control. Level 2 valves enable onboard closed-loop motion control, simplifying PLC requirements and increasing dynamic performance. Level 3 valves add built-in pressure and temperature sensors to make commissioning and diagnostics even faster and easier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
