Compare Pneumatic
and Electromechanical Solutions
|
Fill in the yellow cells with your application details to see
whether you can save by replacing pneumatics with an electromechanical
solution.
Blue cells contain calculations default values typical for industrial
users. To over-ride a default value,
fill in the yellow cell underneath it.
