Precision Sensor Cleaning with our Valve Platform
Our electromagnetic 2/2-way valve platform is a smart, stackable sensor cleaning solution designed for autonomous vehicles at Level 2+, 3, 4, and 5. This advanced system supports up to four valves on a single manifold, ensuring precise and efficient cleaning processes for both air and water systems. With the ability to switch pressures up to 6.4 bar, it enhances cleaning efficiency while minimizing power consumption. Its ultra-compact and lightweight design allows for easy integration into space-constrained environments, making it an essential component for ADAS and autonomous driving applications.
Our sensor cleaning valve platform offers a flexible and adaptable concept suitable for various sensor cleaning needs, and it is available as a fully validated, off-the-shelf product, ready for immediate implementation.
Working principle
Advanced Electromagnetic Valve Control for optimized Sensor Cleaning
The Electromagnetic 2/2-Way Valve operates based on an electromagnetic actuation mechanism, ensuring rapid and precise control over fluid or air flow. When an electrical current is applied, the electromagnetic coil generates a magnetic field, which moves the internal plunger to open or close the valve. This allows the controlled release of pressurized air or cleaning fluid through the system, ensuring a targeted and efficient cleaning process for vehicle sensors.
By integrating up to four valves on a single manifold, the platform enables selective activation of individual valves, directing cleaning fluids precisely to the required sensors. This targeted approach optimizes fluid consumption while maintaining consistent cleaning efficiency. The valve design ensures quick response times and minimal pressure loss, making it ideal for ADAS applications where sensor clarity is critical for safety and performance.
Platform Design & Customization Options
Our platform valve is designed with a modular and scalable structure, allowing for seamless integration. The stackable configuration enables flexible expansion, adapting to different vehicle requirements. Meanwhile, our 2/2-way valve features customizable options, allowing for tailored features to meet specific requirements:
- Connector Coding: Customized coding through different inserts, available in Type A, B, and C
- Flexible Mounting: Customized mounting clips allow for adaptable installation across different system designs
- Poka-Yoke Marking: Ensures fail-safe assembly, reducing the risk of incorrect installations.
