country. The dedication and collective skills of the ASCO Numatics team
are key to the company’s continued success.
A commitment to quality and service is the underlying force in the design,
manufacture and sale of every item within ASCO Numatics' product
lines: solenoid valves; pressure and temperature switches; pressure sensors;
combustion products; fluid control products; and valve position indicators.
ASCO Numatics' products are chosen by Canada’s most prominent
original equipment manufacturers and are sold to companies and users of
all types through an extensive network of independent distributors. Every
customer can count on products that meet the highest standards for optimal
performance and are backed by knowledgeable ASCO specialists.
ISO REGISTRATION
In 2003 ASCO Numatics was registered to International Standard ISO
9001:2000 and is proud to hold certificate number 000001 from the Quality
Management Institute. This internationally recognized standard underscores
the company’s emphasis on quality control procedures and its ultimate
mandate of delivering superior products to an increasingly more sophisticated
marketplace.

ASCO VALVE RED HAT VALVES 
|
ASCO Numatics' reputation was built on its status as
Canada’s only manufacturer of solenoid operated valves and
the Red Hat line remains a worldwide industry standard.
ASCO engineers have designed and developed the most comprehensive
selections of solenoid operated valves available in the world. The
company’s Red Hat valve catalogue lists 2, 3 and 4-way valves
that are available in brass, stainless steel, aluminum and plastic
with pipe sizes ranging from 1/8” to 3” along with thousands
of special variety valves. And, if this still isn’t enough,
ASCO engineers can custom design a product to a user’s exact
and unique specifications.
ASCO Numatics maintains leadership position by developing
and producing new products to address the ever changing needs of
the industry. Examples include intrinsically safe valves for operation
at low power levels, low ambient construction valves for use in
ambient temperatures down to -50?C, pulse and pilot valves for dust
collector units and angle body piston valves for handling aggressive
fluids. ASCO has the solutions for today’s requirements and
the expertise to meet tomorrow’s challenges. |
 ASCO REDHAT NEXT GENERATION VALVES
The RedHat Next Generation revolutionary new power management technology sets new industry standards for reliability and power consumption. These valves are now available with Class 1 Division 2 approvals. The new line of solenoid valves accepts both AC and DC voltages while improving performance. These 2-, 3- and 4-way solenoid valves are designed to handle most fluid control applications.
- Increase in DC pressure ratings to AC levels on all products (up to 500% improvement).
- Lower power operation (2-watt solenoid delivers the same performance as a traditional 17-watt AC solenoid).
- Voltage ranging provides standard solutions to special voltage requirements, such as global usage, voltage fluctuations, and specialty applications like locomotives.
- Built in surge suppression eliminates the need for a separate surge suppression diode.
- Elimination of AC hum.

ASCO COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
ASCO Combustion products include a selection of high quality valves
and special products for the combustion industry. Gas, oil, hot
water and steam valves come in pipe sizes ranging from 1/8”,
such as those used for commercial pilot applications, to a maximum
of 6”, for use in large commercial/industrial boilers and process
heating applications.
The product line has earned a reputation for superior quality
and ASCO is well on its way to becoming the number one supplier
of control products for gas and oil-fired systems of all sizes. |

ASCO VALVE MONITORING
SYSTEMS
|
Valve Monitoring Systems (VMS) are a combination of visual indicators and network communications designed to provide improved reliability and safety for your process valves, while meeting the rugged requirements of the process industry.
ASCO Valve Monitoring Systems for linear acturators are available in aluminum body bracket mounted, resin body bracket mounted or resin/aluminum body bracket mounted with integrated valve and highly visible 360 degree indication. |
ASCO PRESSURE SENSORS
ASCO pressure sensors provide accurate measuring and linear electrical
output signals for many process fluids. The MEMs based sensor and one-piece
pressure cavity provides stable output measurements from 0 to 10,000 psi
and supplies high sensitivity, low drift and highly repeatable signaling.
Electrical options include flying leads, pins, spade terminals, or explosion-proof
or intrinsically safe versions. Mechanical options include panel mounting,
316ss pressure vessel or inconel with process connections of 1/8”
to 1/2” NPT, and other specialty threading. Output signal options
include 4-20m Amp or 1-5 Volt. |
ASCO TRIPOINT PRESSURE & TEMPERATURE
SWITCHES
ASCO Tripoint pressure and temperature switches are a range of miniature
to industrial size switches designed to signal when process media reaches
a set point of pressure or temperature. The transducer will operate a
mechanical snap switch when the set point has been reached, and will reset
when the process media conditions drop below the deadband. Options include
fixed or adjustable deadband and a wide range of set points of vacuum
to 8000 psi and temperatures of -51ºC to 337ºC.

 ASCO JOUCOMATIC PNEUMATIC CONTROLS
ASCO Joucomatic pneumatic controls include a diverse range of pneumatic
products for various fluid power industrial automation applications.
- Directional Control Valves – Miniature, ISO standard, and subbased
mounted spool and poppet valves
- Proportional Control Valves – Sentronic proportional pressure
regulation by voltage or resistance input variation
- Air Handling Equipment – Modular filter, regulator and lubricators
are easy to configure as individual components or a complete system
- Valve Islands – Multiple valves in one compact assembly in standard
operating configurations or addressable over a bus network. Available
with ASi™, DeviceNet™, and Profibus™ DP
- Cylinders – ISO and VDMA standard rod and rodless cylinders

 ASCO REDUNDANT CONTROL SYSTEM
The Redundant Control System (RCS) is the only pilot valve system that has no single point of failure that could result in an unwanted closure of the process valve. The Redundant Control System is FM certified as fit for use in SIL 3 applications with a spurious trip rate that is lower then Tri-Modular Redundant logic solvers. RCS achieves a higher level of process safety and reliability by using a redundant, fault tolerant architecture, high diagnostic coverage and automated testing. A keyed bypass allows on-line maintenance of the RCS without process interruption. The RCS is available in a variety of constructions that provide valve diagnostics through automated, partial stroke testing.
The availability and reliability of RCS make it the most cost effective choice for process valve diagnostics and actuation. |
