I attended the Final Control & Regulate roadmap which covered the valve, actuator, FIELDVUE, regulator, etc.
Here are some of the new products will be released, such as DVC6200SIS, new version ValveLink Software, more higher pressure regulator 95/98, etc.
Especially, a new type of sliding stem actuator was presented. This actuator is an improvement of existing Fisher actuator 657/667.
The important point is an integral pneumatic passageways will be used for this new actuator. So, the external tubing issues will be solved.
Even if this passageway is similar to GX actuator, what a wonderful product when this passageway technology used for an approved actuator which has been used all over the world for more than half a century.
And, I think...
It will be perfect (?) if a switch (maybe only one bolt?) can be used for changing air fail actions for this new type of actuator.
