As soon as a machine has more than a handful of actuators, grouping the valves in one place pays off. This valve terminal holds 8 stations and is controlled through EtherCAT. The air supply runs jointly through the manifold and the wiring through a single cable. The supply is 24 V DC. The materials are body and spool aluminium, seals NBR, pilot plastic.
Advantages
- Temperature range of -10 to +60 °C for installation in the machine environment.
- Dimensions A 19, B 16, C 22, D 86, E 94.5, F 102.8, H 4.2, K 164.5, L 156.5, M 6.5, N 11.3, O 6.0, P 11.5, Q 12.5, R 25, S 59.5, so the space requirement can be planned in advance.
- Outlets M 7 at base plate (side), so the position of the fittings is known in advance.
- Mounted valves: Sub-base valves (5/2-way with spring return), so the terminal is ready for operation.
- Capacity for 8 valve stations, so the terminal grows with the plant.
