The Shadow Pneumatic Control Unit (SPCU)

The Shadow Pneumatic Control Unit SPCU is designed to make it easy to control four pneumatic actuators. It provides:

SPCU (Shadow Pneumatic Control Unit)

  • 8 high-quality Isonic valves, giving high flow rates necessary for big movements.
  • 8 sensor inputs, allowing you to control the muscles based on pressure, position, or other data, as well as providing information to the host computer.
  • Integrated drive electronics - no additional hardware is required to drive the valves.
  • Direct control of valves, allowing soft movements to be sequenced from your software directly.
  • Integrated control loops, so once you've configured your hardware you only need to tell it where to go to!
  • Non-volatile setting storage, so configuration is a one-time deal - just power it up and run!
  • Serial port connection to the PC - just hook it up and get going - no need to mess with add-in cards.

The SPCU price shown below (plus applicable taxes) is available immediately from the Shadow website shop or add it to your shopping cart below.
