NDES Show: New Compact Pneumatic Valve Systems with High Flow

With the HF 04 and LP 04, Rexroth offers two newly developed pneumatic valve manifold systems. Small in size but with high flow, they are both suitable for use in the automation industry.
The valves are compact without compromising flow, and feature low power consumption. They are actuated by double pilots and available in versions 2x3/2, 5/2 and 5/3. Both systems are based on the same valve, but the subbases are designed to meet different industry requirements.
HF 04, which is the smallest member of the successful HF family, is ideal for applications where high flow is required and space is limited. Industries in which the HF 04 would be useful include automation, general mechanics, paper manufacturing and printing. Simple extension and valve replacement without the need for disassembling the unit provide easy handling. Due to the proven manifold design, which uses aluminium end plates and reliable electrical connections, the valve system is insensitive to vibrations and temperature fluctuations. The number of valves can be from two to twelve (2 to 24 coils) and the power is connected using either a D-sub connector or fieldbus.
As compared with the HF 04, the LP 04 is designed with a different manifold subbase to reduce the size, especially the height. Our designers have managed to do this by integrating the fieldbus functions directly in the manifold. Therefore, the size of the valve system with a fieldbus interface is the same as with a D-sub connection. One system can consist of four to sixteen valves. Suitable applications include small handling, vacuum and process control in electronics assembly and the semiconductor industry.
