Research and development project: Mechatronic hydraulic valves equipped with innovative sensors

This project had the aim to conceive, design, optimize and test "smart" hydraulic valves equipped with internal sensors that permit to detect in real time the most important functioning characteristics.
Thanks to these sensors it's possible to correct/compensate the valve performance following a logic control system and furthermore to use signals with the aim to predictive diagnostic.

The projects mentioned above, co-funded by the European regional Development fund, were completed at the end of 2022.
