High resolution electronic proportional pressure controls
Precise, linear pressure control within a closed-loop system with ultra-high resolution and repeatability.
The Clippard Cordis is a revolutionary microcontroller primed for escape velocity from a proportional control market that has grown stagnant. Built with the highest quality Clippard proportional valves at its heart, the Cordis is designed to outperform the competition in every way. With unparalleled performance and flexibility not possible with current analogue proportional controllers, the Cordis makes everything from calibration to sensor variety acceptance, to future development opportunities more accessible and less complicated. The future of proportional pressure control has arrived and it’s digital.
Known for reliability, innovation and focus on miniature pneumatics, the Cordis electronic pressure controls
(EPC) utilise the proven M-EVP and M-DVP lines of proportional valves, allowing for steady, repeatable downstream pressure as demand or processes change. The result: a precise linear pressure control within a closed- loop system with ultra-high resolution and repeatability. The Cordis uses a microcontroller, integrated pressure sensor, and two Clippard proportional valves. The inlet valve is connected to the moderately regulated supply pressure and the exhaust valve is connected to a port that vents excess pressure to the atmosphere. Once a command is increased, the inlet valve opens up to allow supply pressure to pass over the sensor element, which provides active feedback for the microcontroller to satisfy the set point in the process. If at any point the sensor detects a value higher than the set point, the exhaust valve will modulate open to vent off the excess pressure to maintain a stable and accurate control pressure in the process. The Cordis has many features, such as: ■ smooth linear control ■ integrated internal or external sensor feedback
■ static or dynamic
applications with the same proportional control
■ proportional fill and bleed control
■ no integral bleed required.
The Cordis is adaptable to a variety of sensors that can close the loop around not only pressure, but vacuum or flow.

Custom comes standard
Flexible design and fast-paced manufacturing may sound like a pipe dream for customised high- quality medical wire but utilising a small team that is experienced
The Custom Wire ISO 13485 Class-7 2,000ft2
Cleanroom. and passionate about
engineering make this a reality for Custom Wire technologies (CWT). There is no catalogue or inventory of stocked parts; everything is custom. Now entering its 20th year in business, US-based CWT is a leading medical device original equipment manufacturer (OEM), with experience in the design and development of medical wire components. Offering products and services in the areas of coiling, grinding and wire forming, the company is well- equipped to customise wire products for a variety of applications, such as guidewire coils and assemblies, Kirschner wires, mandrels and profile ground custom tips. Additional value-added services include a full suite of assembly capabilities utilising laser welding, plasma welding, medical grade adhesives, and crimping techniques to mechanically bond components. Many of these operations are done by hand without using robots to do the assembly. It’s all performed by individuals using manual dexterity. CWT has also recently expanded its ISO 13485 Class-7 cleanroom into a brand new 2,000ft2 facility that meets the cleanliness standards required by most customers in the industry. Rounding out the vast array of in-house capabilities are laser marking, pad printing, wire EDM cutting, passivation and electropolishing. Having these services in-house allows CWT to offer competitive pricing and shorter lead times for fully assembled medical device components. And during these
