Automate 2026 Preview: Emerson’s Electric and Pneumatic Components

While you’re walking the floor at Automate 2026, you may want to stop by the Emerson booth (North Hall, Booth 13054), where the company will feature their latest automation components and solutions designed to enhance machine performance and accelerate time to market. Engineered to meet a wide range of applications and environments, these for-purpose pneumatic and electric technologies and handling systems can help OEMs optimize machine designs and improve throughput, uptime and efficiency.

In the booth, show attendees can speak with Emerson experts, attend a hafl dozen live demonstrations and see highlights from the comprehensive Emerson automation portfolio, including Aventics and Afag brands.

At the top of the list, an assembly machine running on Emerson’s motion control components will be combining and assembling the components of a completed ballpoint pen from start to finish. The exhibit is meant to express the range of control components Emerson has available for integrated solutions.

Next door, visitors will be able to watch a hybrid motion demonstration that illustrates how OEMs can utilize the speed and precision of electronic actuation with the flexibility and compliance of pneumatic actuators and grippers in the same machine simultaneously.

An interactive product wall will also include a website configurator that visitors can use to specify an Aventics Series XV valve system. With about 100 million possible configurations, Aventics Series XV pneumatic valves offer greater range with higher flow rates to give OEMs enhanced design flexibility and scalability when engineering handling systems or automation solutions. Using the configuration tool, visitors can specify valve size, electronics, fieldbus protocol, pressure regulators, shut-off valves, flow modules and pressure-supply modules to match their exact application. Aventics Series XV valves include the XV03, providing flow volumes up to 350 liters NL/min, and the XV05, which can provide up to 1,000 liters NL/min.

In the interactive Aventics Series Ceram directional valve display, a contaminant is run through the pneumatic system to demonstrate how Emerson’s ISO valves perform in real-world conditions. Actuated by a pair of lapped ceramic plates, these valves are designed to meet demanding environments and tight production schedules by minimizing downtime due to breakdowns and scheduled maintenance.

Finally, the Sentronic proportional valve demonstration will put a series of Aventics and ASCO proportional regulators through their paces, hovering a ball as it navigates around the display. Through the demonstration, the proportional pressure regulators dynamically control pressure to a rodless cylinder to show how using proportional pressure control can achieve specific motion profiles on pneumatic actuators. With this technology, Emerson helps OEMs with complex machine design, such as that for PET blow molding, automotive painting and powder coating.
