The VZXA easily adapts to the task in hand thanks to its range of variants, thus maximising flexibility and minimising the effort involved in designing your application. The carefully thought-out product architecture means valve bodies and actuators can be freely combined. The modular product concept makes it easier to modify and maintain systems without having to remove the entire valve.

VZXF – the robust universal valve for process automation applications. Perfect for all tasks involving the control of media flows, whether contaminated or highly viscous. New variants have now been added to the VZXF range.

Very few environments are as demanding as those on an oil rig. Materials are stressed and corrosion is promoted by water, salt and wind, as well as extreme weather fluctuation. The highly innovative Festo Motion Terminal as well as the state of the art valve terminal VTUG combined with our control cabinets offer reliable and steady solutions for automation of fingerboards under these harsh conditions.

Stainless steel ball valves are used wherever different media need to be controlled – in process automation as well as factory automation. With VZBE, VZBF and VZBD, Festo has rounded off the ball valve portfolio to help you find the right ball valve for a wide range of applications.

An ideal combination that is much more compact than before: the automation system CPX-E and the valve terminal VTUG together in a control cabinet. This is a complete solution that is easy to install and keeps tubing installation to a minimum.

The new limit switch box SRBC is the reliable and cost-effective solution when it comes to electronic position sensing and optical position indication of automated process valves. The sturdy version with IP66, IP67 and Type4/4X is ideal for use indoors and outdoors, even in aggressive or corrosive environments.

Preconfigured from stock or individually configured? The new,

double-acting linear actuator DFPC can be both. It has been

specially designed for actuating process valves such as gate valves

or knife-gate valves, pinch valves or valve bodies without housing.

Perfect, for example, for the requirements in water and wastewater

treatment, the mining industry, power stations as well as

the paper, pulp and steel industries.

The new linear actuator DFPI is equipped for a wide range of applications thanks to ISO 15552, an optionally integrated positioner or an integrated displacement encoder, and an optimised guide rod for swivel motions.

With the PA-Toolkit from Festo, implementing the automation logic of process engineering units and modules is really intuitive. You can also use the library for CODESYS to program applications without the need for more in-depth programming expertise. This is ideal for automating modular systems according to the MTP standard, which requires a separate controller for each system module.

The heavy-duty pinch valve is ideal for use with abrasive or corrosive

fl uids, pastes, pulps, powders, or media with a high solids content.

Its high performance, extremely low wear, and long service life in

open and close mode as well as in proportional control applications

make it very suitable for use in mineral processing, in the cement

and construction industry, in iron and steel production, in metallurgy

and foundries, or in aluminium production.

NPQP is FDA compliant. Not only that, it also offers a high level of process security as it is resistant to chemicals, approved for use with food, light and transparent. This makes it an inexpensive alternative to stainless steel fittings for the food and beverage industry, biotechnology/pharmaceuticals, medical technology, clean rooms and process automation.

In corrosive atmospheres or extreme temperatures from -60 °C to +80 °C, the extremely robust filter regulator PCRP performs well, offering high flow rates and reliable pressure control. The housing and interior are entirely made of premium stainless steel to ensure high corrosion resistance. The PCRP series is available in sizes ¼" and ½" with G or NPT threads.

The DFPD-C and DFPD-C-VDE2 are well equipped for the chemical
industry. Both versions have hard-anodised end caps, blow-outproof
adjusting screws for the end position, shaft centring ring and captive spring cartridges that are free of non-ferrous metals. Furthermore the DFPD-C-VDE2 has a supply port on top for easy assembly of a manifold block with NAMUR interface to VDI/VDE 3847-2. With these options they will set a new benchmark for quarter turn actuators in the chemical sector.

DFPD-HD is the latest addition to the quarter turn actuator range DFPD. With torque up to 32,000 Nm, the Scotch yoke actuator is ideal for on/off and closed-loop control of ball valves, air dampers and butterfly valves in power plants, the chemical industry and in water treatment applications. It is the perfect choice whenever safe, reliable solutions are required.

The CMSH provides you with all the benefits of a highly dynamic,
low-wear positioning system with high air output and a long service
life. You now only need one device for the fast and precise control of
actuators, whether large or small, linear or rotary, single-acting
or double-acting. Together with the low internal air consumption, this
reduces costs. Featuring 2-wire technology, HART communication,
condition monitoring functions and a modular system with many variants,
the CMSH offers excellent flexibility for a great number of
applications.

Combine maximum standardisation with the greatest possible

flexibility. The standardised ATEX control cabinet YCCP saves time

and money through maximum standardisation of your system

components. The cabinets are approved for zone 2 (3GD), while the

integrated, modular terminal CPX as a remote I/O ensures a high

level of flexibility.

Festo already has a formidable range. And in future it will be even better. Festo continuously develops and expands its range of valves for process automation. And the range is top quality, especially in the area of solenoid valves and their accessories. So you can control actuators safely and reliably. And you can operate them in outdoor areas without any problem, even in safety circuits up to SIL 3 or in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Safety equipment in process plants aims to reduce the hazards presented by a plant for people, the environment and property to the lowest possible, acceptable level. Depending on the potential hazards, plants are assigned a Safety Integrity Level (SIL1 to SIL4). SIL1 represents the lowest risk and SIL4 the highest acceptable risk with catastrophic consequences.

Many concepts from the past have been overtaken by the fourth industrial revolution: business models, partnerships, customer interfaces, value chains, and even the traditional automation pyramid – all are undergoing huge change. As an innovator and trendsetter in fieldbus technology, Festo will make a major contribution to reshaping the future with new concepts for Industry 4.0.
