Valves
Zaxis carries a wide variety of valves to support multiple applications. Most notable are our proprietary Type 2 and 3 valves, designed for sensitivity, speed, and thermal stability. Zaxis valves and valve manifolds are aseptic and made with the highest quality materials, perfect for use in testing medical products. The internal test volume held within the test manifold is as small as possible, at less than 1 cubic centimeter. Pilot air actuates the Type 2 and 3 valves, which eliminates much of the heat transfer created by standard solenoid/poppet valves. Excess heat transferred into a small sensitive part can adversely affect the test pressure, causing lower test sensitivity and longer test times.
