VS is distinguished by outstanding value for the money, as well asexceptional diversity. Modern design. Robust and durable quality.No limits with regard to performance data. Proven technologies andmaterials. Comprehensive range of accessories. Numerous mountingoptions and easy operation.
New: two more additions to the existing valve range VUVG and VUVS. The VUVG-...-S and VUVS-...-S are valves that have focused features – with the usual Festo quality and an outstanding price/per-formance ratio.
Summary: Due to their bistable characteristics, bistable valves in certain applications present the user with tasks that seem to be difficult to solve. This application example is to show how a solution can be developed systematically taking the various operating states and operating transitions into account. Considering the various hazards in the various operating statuses of the machine appears a sensible approach to finding the solution. They require chronologically successive, different reactions of the safety circuit to implement the required protective measures.
Summary: Technical Reports 2 and 3 [1-2] and DGUV Information FB HM-076 [3] already explained the circumstances under which bistable valves can be used in safety-related applications. The present report links these reports to the current product portfolio of Festo AG & Co. KG. The suitability of the bistable valves listed for safety-related applications can be confirmed taking the previous series of technical reports and respective technical documentation of the individual components into consideration.
