Q1: What is the FUJIKURA KRE Series?
A: The KRE Series is a pressure-feedback precision electro-pneumatic converter that controls output air pressure through digital communication, current, or voltage input.
Q2: How is the KRE Series different from the RT Series?
A: The RT Series uses open-loop control, while the KRE Series adds pressure feedback for higher pressure-control accuracy and stability.
Q3: What standard models are available?
A: Standard models include KRE-8-2-R4, KRE-8-2-R2, KRE-8-2-IP, and KRE-8-2-EP.
Q4: What control methods are available?
A: R4 uses RS485, R2 uses RS232C, IP is the current-input model, and EP is the 0–10V voltage-input model.
Q5: What is the set pressure range?
A: All four models have a set pressure range of 0.02 to 0.82MPa.
Q6: What is the pressure display resolution?
A: The display resolution is 0.001MPa, equivalent to 1kPa.
Q7: How many KRE units can one controller operate?
A: With KRE-8-2-R4 RS485 communication, one controller can connect to a maximum of 32 units.
Q8: Does the KRE Series require an external power supply?
A: Yes. The required power supply is DC24V±10%, with current consumption of 100mA or less.
Q9: What pipe port is used?
A: All four models use an Rc1/4 pipe port.
Q10: What applications is the KRE Series suitable for?
A: It is suitable for dancer-roll and air-brake tension control, welding-gun and polishing-machine press control, dispensing, air balancers, lifters, pneumatic valves, robotic handling-force control, and programmed coating control.
