Precise contact monitoring
An attractively priced solution for low tolerances
Light, compact and very precise, a pneumatic solution which is particularly impressive thanks to its potential integration. SOPA features a control module, compressed air regulation, measurement air switch-off and air jet function as well as up to four measuring modules.
All in all, the air gap sensor SOPA senses exactly in the μm range whether the workpiece is lying flat or resting against other workpieces before clamping and whether the machining tool is exactly aligned on the spindle.
Air gap sensor SOPA as contact monitor (illustration: typical arrangement with 3 monitoring points, nozzle diameter: 0.8 ... 2 mm) in engine production, in the automotive industry. The horizontal support of engine components that are to be processed can thus be reliably checked for gap widths of < 50 μm.

Air gap sensors SOPA
Sensing range 20 ... 200 μm, PNP or NPN switching outputs, integrated air jet function, 2-colour LCD display.
Light, compact and very precise: SOPA is equipped with a controller module, compressed air regulation, measurement air switch-off, air jet function, and up to 4 measuring modules. All in all, an attractively priced solution for low tolerances.
The air gap sensor SOPA provides precision sensing in the μm range whether the workpiece is lying flat or resting against other workpieces before clamping and whether the machining tool is exactly aligned on the spindle.
ISO solenoid valve ZSR
ISO valves are increasingly becoming a standard in the automotive industry, as the fast and standardised connection technology using M12 plugs significantly reduces assembly. This saves time and cuts costs. Festo offers this efficient connection option for all ISO and VDMA valves.
Stopper cylinders STA/STAF/DFST
The controllable, sturdy stops for conveyor systems and transport lines are used to gently stop and release workpiece carriers, pallets or packages. As well as magnetic stoppers, the pneumatic stopper cylinders are impressively simple and cost-efficient. The version with flange mounted valve enables even faster control possible at great distances.
