Valve Box VB for PGN-plus
In case of a conventional pneumatic solution the compressed air of the feeding long air supply line is lost at each cycle. With the valve box VB, which is directly attached to the gripper, the piston area of the actuator is immediately filled, resulting in reduced air consumption, and shorter cycle times. By central connections, the compact unit is provided with air and electrical signals. Long air supply lines are no longer necessary.
By plug & play the valve box with optimized size can be easily commissioned at the actuator with gripping force maintenance devices, throttles or proximity switches. Sizes for the PGN-plus universal grippers are available from 64 to 160.
