Abstract: In a semi-finished product for a valve housing, such as a control valve housing or a fitting housing, may include an additively manufactured body having a built-up direction in which the body is formed in layers. The body may include an inlet channel, an outlet channel, a bridge section, and a neck portion for the valve or the fitting delimiting a channel structure to be formed for process fluid. The body forms an inner surface to be directed towards a process fluid and an outer surface to be facing the surroundings. The inner or outer surface may have at least one overhang surface with respect to the built-up direction, the overhang angle of which does not exceed an angular threshold value of at most 75°.

Abstract: In a control device for a technical processing plant, a pneumatically driven actuator having an actuator stem is provided together with a valve operated by the actuator, the valve having a valve stem. A valve element is attached to the valve stem. A stem connector connects the two stems to each other for a forced transmission of axial actuating movements and for modifying an axial distance between adjacent ends of the valve stem and the actuator stem to adjust a total axial length of the two stems. The stem connector comprises two half-shells connected to each other, and two positioning devices are provided for a friction-locking coupling of the half-shells to the respective ends. At least one of the positioning devices is designed to modify an axial attachment position of the half-shells along one of the stems.
