Festo is now making it even easier for its users: the functions of the classic valve terminals CPV, MPA-L/S and VTUG are now available under the umbrella of the convertible valve terminal VTUX. In addition, the AP-I and AP-A communication system creates the ideal platform for digitalized production.
The successor to the three valve terminal classics CPV, MPA-L/S and VTUG impresses with its high flow rate and almost limitless modularity. The valve terminal fits almost any machine concept. The valve terminal modules can be arranged as required. AP communication technology makes connections child’s play, even over long distances. This communication technology creates the prerequisites for safety designs, predictive maintenance and data exchange with the cloud in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT).
Plug-in connections can be adapted to the desired hose diameter. This achieves an optimum balance between space saving and supply reliability. Any number of pressure zones can also be defined. The lightweight design of the VTUX allows it to be used on the front-end unit, a gantry or robot arm. This enables short and efficient pneumatic pipes.
