Acrosense™ Fluid Control Platform

Acro's Acrosense™ Fluid Control Platform offers engineers the ability to quickly design, prototype and integrate fluid components used for developing medical device and bioprocessing systems. Our patent-pending technology consists of several preconfigured boards that enable basic to high-level integration of common medical or bioprocessing grade components. Pumps, motors, pinch valves, actuators and feedback devices can now be easily combined into a networked fluid control system without lengthy development time.

Each module can be used in a standalone environment, where one or more components are powered and controlled, or as part of a larger complex system. Acrosense™ Fluid Control Platform offers flexibility, performance and scalability that can streamline your system development needs.

Fluid Control Platform with callouts

Supported Components

The modular, scalable Acrosense FCP permits the integration of a variety of standard or custom components into a networked fluid control system:

  • Solenoid actuators
  • Solenoid or pneumatic pinch valves
  • Pumps (peristaltic, gear, centrifugal,
    diaphragm, membrane)
  • Motors (brushed, brushless, stepper)
  • Sensors (pressure, flow, temperature, load,
    fluid level, blood and bubble detect)
  • Encoders
  • Serial or Ethernet networking

Features & Benefits

  • Power efficient solenoid driver that implements improved adaptive pulse and hold methods for power management
  • Electronic noise dampening that quiets solenoid pinch valve operation
  • Sensorless position sensing for pinch valves and tube detection
  • On board calibration routines for diagnostic monitoring, reporting and data storage
  • Built in LCD and interface buttons for easy system diagnostic determination
  • Modular, scalable design that allows multiple modules to be interconnected for additional feature or system capabilities
  • Direct support for brushless DC and stepper motor based pumps and actuators
  • Operation from 12V DC battery
  • Compact foot print
  • RoHS compliant
