Intelligent Automation

VMT utilises patented 'no assumption' automation technology to safely and effectively turn valves using AWWA recommended procedures. This technology protects the operators by keeping 'hands off' the machine while exercising the valve and protects the valve by not assuming size, direction, or current position. Allowing the machine to follow the path of least resistance, the programming and sensors automatically stop the rotation and reverse in half turn increments as to flush calcification from the valve gate. This patented automation always exercises valves at the minimum torque required to turn, then automatically lowers preset threshold once rotation begins so impact at end of valve is soft as possible.
