KV goes to any length to meet customers requirements

Long stroke Cylinders � Short lead time!

The launch of KV�s NEW �Ultraline� range of pneumatic Rodless cylinders was
well and truly tested when a customer was seeking a short lead, for a 5.9M
rodless cylinder!

�This was by far the longest cylinder the company has currently assembled�
advises Steve Hart, KV�s production manager. �however the whole manufacture,
assembly and test was carried out in less than a day�

Unlike normal rodless cylinders, where the open design of the extrusion can
cause problematic leakages, KV�s unique sealing technology combined with a
simplistic assembly process ensures that irrespective of bore or stroke, the
cylinders can be assembled quickly and efficiently.

Urgently required for use on a transfer packaging line, the cylinder was
packed and despatched the following day exceeding all the customers
expectations.

KV�s new �ULTRALINE� series of rodless cylinders are available in bores from
�18mm to �63mm and standard stroke lengths up to 6M.
