Overview Valves
| Application | Check Valves | Flow Resistors | Sensing Valves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Handling of porous workpieces such as chipboards and MDF panels | X (If type SVN is used) | X | |
| Handling of air-tight workpieces such as sheets of metal of varying sizes | X | X | |
| Handling of cardboard sheets and boxes of varying sizes | X | ||
| Handling operations with very short cycle times | X | X | |
| Cases where some of the suction cups are not fully in contact with the workpiece | X | X | |
| Cases where the workpiece is to be blown off for faster release | X | Restricted by the reduced cross-section |
Checklist For Selection Of Valves
Which functions are required?
Which functions are required?
We can supply solenoid valves (3/2-way, 2/2-way), manually actuated vacuum and compressed-air valves, check valves, sensing valves and flow resistors.
Which volume flow rate needs to be controlled?
Which volume flow rate needs to be controlled?
This determines the nominal flow rate and the size of the valve.
What are the requirements with respect to size, weight and cycle times?
What are the requirements with respect to size, weight and cycle times?
Further information can be found in the design data and/or technical data of the valves.
Which type of energy is available?
Which type of energy is available?
See the notes in the design data or the technical data (solenoid valve EMVP also needs a compressed-air supply)
Does the workpiece need to be released very quickly (blown off)?
Does the workpiece need to be released very quickly (blown off)?
With type EMV, compressed-air for blowing off can be connected directly. Otherwise, additional valves are needed for this function.
