The transportation industry uses Bimba products in robotic assembly lines.  Bimba cylinders can also be found in the vehicles themselves, including trucks, cars, and buses.  From braking systems to clutches on trucks, Bimba's durable designs have served a multitude of applications in this industry.  The after-market automotive industry has provided Bimba an avenue to showcase our solutions in rate control devices and hand tools as well.
Industry—Communications
Believe it or not, the communications industry uses Bimba products, too.  Air preparation is very important to ensure the proper functionality of delicate electronic equipment that is exposed to compressed air.
Industry—Conveying
Conveying systems demand real time flexibility.  Adjusting to variations in size can require time consuming switch-overs resulting in costly downtime.  Bimba's custom and standard solutions are used to maximize flexibility, automate switch-overs, simplify equipment setup, and reduce cost.
Industry—Electronics
Electronics' trend toward miniaturization has heightended the demand for increased precision and pinpoint accuracy in production.  Bimba's solutions have advanced ahead of the trends, from multi-bore manifolds to electric actuators and our new closed loop PFCN product offering.
Industry—Fluid Handling
Handling and packaging liquids requires a diversity of designs and materials that only Bimba can offer.  From fluid valves designed for paint filling or spaghetti sauce jars, to pumps used to inject acids, Bimba offers a level of experience and sophistication to providing solutions unmatched in the industry.
Industry—Food Processing
Food processing has diverse demands, from simple clamping applications, to controlled closed loop bottle filling, to diverters for agricultural product sorting, to heavy duty cylinders used with intensified pressures and in high temperature environments.  Bimba's products provide solutions that meet FDA requirements, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.
Industry—Medical
The rate of advancement in medical technology is astounding.  Bimba has met the challenge by partnering with innovative medical companies to provide state of the art medical equipment for use in applications like cardiovascular procedures, blood (fluid) processing, and even joint replacements.
Industry—Metals
Metal working includes many routine fluid power applications, including clamping components, punching out shapes and pressing metals together.  Bimba has also been involved in a number of unique solutions for this industry.  For example, welding applications often use multi-power hand tools, a natural application for a Bimba solution.
Industry—Packaging
From filling to boxing and palletizing, Bimba actuators provide cost effective solutions for many packaging applications.  And when a unique packaging application is presented, Bimba's solutions team meets the challenge.  From glue dispensing to precision rate control devices, Bimba has provided a number of solutions to unqiue packaging requirements.
