The Festo VPCF Series Proportional Flow Control Valve meets the requirements for dynamic response, repetition accuracy and characteristic curve linearity. Extremely short cycle times mean that unit quantities can be increased and therefore costs can be cut substantially. Due to its compact size, easy-to-access pneumatic connections, and simple actuation, the valve can be positioned flexibly and assembled virtually anywhere, even in existing applications.
The valve regulates the flow for a connected pneumatic consumer, regardless of its flow resistance or fluctuations in the compressed air supply. The required sensors and the closed-loop control system are integrated in the valve. The setpoint value for the flow can be specified using an analog interface. The current actual value is also fed back in analog format.
Applications:
- Spray jet control in painting systems
- Laser beam enclosure
- Regulating the air flow of heaters in hot air applications
