New Airpot Website Offers Designers Online CAD File Generators For Customized Pneumatic Motion Control Devices


Customization of pneumatic motion control devices such as dampers, actuators and snubbers is often desired by design engineers to meet the parameters of their application. Obtaining CAD files for Airpot's custom product configurations was previously performed only upon request and with the involvement of Airpot engineers. Airpot's new website includes improved functionality that now allows designers to configure 3D CAD files of non-stock products with construction requirements specially tailored to the application. With only a few clicks, changes to length, travel, rod end style, mounting configurations and more are easily input into the online configurator system yielding detailed STEP files available for download into the user's CAD system within seconds. CAD files and custom part numbers are generated "on the fly" from base parameter files quickly accessed via a proprietary in-house system developed specifically for Airpot products.

Included in the new website are extensive product specifications with menu driven part number building functions and a host of frequently asked questions reflecting 40 years of product and industrial application knowledge. Convenient pop up boxes offer helpful technical assistance to explain the function, operation, and dimensions of the part or configuration being viewed. Access contact information for all Airpot's distributors and technical sales representatives worldwide though the Distributors and Reps area. Airpot's free sample program is highlighted on the new site allowing designers to request and evaluate the motion control product type they need with no cost or obligation.
