Smart Cubic modular valve manifolds (CPA-SC) are aimed primarily at semiconductor, electrical and light mechanical assembly applications. When production space is at a premium these miniature valve manifolds are the ideal solution to drive a wide range of pneumatic cylinders and process valves. The new Smart Cubic modular valve manifolds feature valves only 10mm wide on a configurable manifold sub-base. They offer quick replacement opportunities by undoing just two screws for maximum up time. The manifold’s design is closely aligned to the needs of the electronics and mechatronics industries. Even the light-coloured surface finish is designed to fit aesthetically with these clean environments. Manifolds accommodate up to 20 valves, each with a flow rate of 150 litre/min – ample for all miniature cylinders, rotary drives, vacuum grippers and slides with a choice of electrical connection methods. In addition, individual valves are available mounted on a single sub base via two screws for isolated actuator requirements. Key features of the new miniature valve manifolds include a 2 x 3/2-way normally closed or normally open function on one valve module and the integration of vacuum capability. Other valve functions include: 5/2-way single solenoid, 5/2-way double solenoid, 3/2-way normally closed, 2/2-way (one normally closed and one open), and 5/3-way normally closed, pressurised or exhausted. All variants offer front or top pneumatic outputs along with electrical connector options of D-sub, insulation-displacement ribbon cable or individual connection.
