The Xc4004 controller will feature on Atlas Copco’s large and specialty air compressors

Atlas Copco is launching the new Smart Air Xc4004 controller on all its large and specialty air compressors.

The controller is available on compressors with flows from 20 to 128 m3/minute and pressures up to 345 bar (5,000 psi).

Atlas Copco says the new controller increases the efficiency of operations by providing useful insights and features an easy-to-use interface. A secondary point-of-use controller unit is also available and provides users with the option to remotely operate their portable compressors, for instance in drilling applications.

“The Smart Air Xc4004 controller features our latest innovations,” said Hendrik Timmermans, VP marketing for Atlas Copco’s portable air Division. “Smart controls protect your investment and improve your efficiency, while drastically decreasing the operating costs of equipment through advanced insights.”

The 7-inch controller display allows a simultaneous view of several parameters, including pressure and flow. Consequently, there is no need to toggle around to check the flow at a certain pressure.
