MicroAir IV — 0-10V PLC Compatible Pressure Regulator

The MicroAir IV accepts a standard 0–10 volt analog input signal, allowing it to interface directly with any PLC or external control device. The input signal linearly commands the output air pressure across the full selected range. This enables automated, programmable pressure control for processes such as bump and taper tubing, without any additional signal conditioning hardware.

The MicroAir IV achieves a response time of less than 0.1 second — typically around 20 milliseconds for a 50% full-scale step change. This high-speed performance is made possible by a precision voice-coil linear motor with viscostatic damping, making it ideal for demanding bump and taper tubing switching applications where instantaneous pressure changes are required.

The MicroAir IV is available in four configurations: Single Channel (MAIV), Dual Channel (DMAIV), 3-Channel MultiAir (MU3MAIV), and 4-Channel MultiAir (MU4MAIV). Multi-channel units house all channels within a single stainless steel enclosure, with each channel capable of independent pressure ranges and its own display — ideal for multi-lumen tubing production.

All MicroAir IV units accept 110/220 VAC at 50/60 Hz with a dual selectable voltage input, consuming under 2 watts. This universal power input makes them suitable for both domestic US installations and international facilities without requiring separate power supply units or transformers.

Yes, all MicroAir IV models are CE compliant and certified for international shipping. On Line Controls ships worldwide via UPS, DHL, or FedEx from their Shrewsbury, Massachusetts facility. The company currently serves customers in 18 countries, including Germany, Japan, China, India, Ireland, France, South Korea, and across Latin America.

The MicroAir IV is engineered for plastic tubing extrusion applications including medical tubing, catheter manufacturing, multi-lumen tubing, bump and taper tubing, automotive tubing, and plastic profile and straw extrusion. Its ultra-low pressure regulation and high-speed PLC-compatible control make it the industry standard across medical device, automotive, and general plastics manufacturing sectors.
