New Emerson pneumatic valves provide greater automation flexibility

Equipment

The new Aventics Series XV pneumatic valves are designed with interoperability in mind to provide machine builders across multiple industries and factory automation applications with a flexible and cost effective valve platform. The new valves are ideal for machine builders and end users that operate across the globe, with universal threads and other features that support regional standards and global availability.

Series XV valves provide higher flow rates in a compact valve package that enables more efficient and flexible pneumatic system performance for factory automation, automotive and tire, and food and packaging applications. This helps manufacturers boost productivity and allows them to offer products customised for specific markets and customer preferences.

Series XV valves include the XV03, providing flow volumes up to 350 litres per minute in normal conditions (NL/min), and the XV05, scheduled for release in October 2024, providing up to 880 NL/min.

All valves in the Series XV line use proven Aventics core technology and include metal threads, parallel wiring, aluminium base plates and compact dimensions to make it easier to integrate into production system designs.

Series XV valves use consistent interfaces and have wide connectivity from single wiring over parallel connections such as D-SUB connectors. They also support leading fieldbus protocols, including PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, Powerlink, Modbus TCP, IO-Link, AS-I, to simplify integration into machine control networks.

Series XV valves are also easy to commission. The Aventics online configurator supports system layout, providing useful information, while easy-to-understand system documentation in the design phase helps speed up machine development.
