Clippard Instrument Laboratory, Inc: Valves, cylinders, tubing demonstrations

See them at PACK EXPO  Booth #S-6916! Clippard Instrument Laboratory will be highlighting several unique demonstrations including an Air Guitar that uses Clippard’s electronic valves to actuate the cylinders and play the guitar.

Another demo will be the Towering Maze, a tower with multiple levels of Clippard parts and a hole at each level. The objective is to use a joystick to manipulate the tower in such a way that a ball will enter the hole to the next level. The third demo is the Starflex Packaging Machine. This machine is used to package chicken parts. Clippard’s pneumatic circuit boards—along with valves, cylinders, fittings, and tubing—are used.
