Simple solution for complex valve island applications

Emerson has unveiled a panel mount adaptor plate for the ASCO Numatics 501 Series of pneumatic valve islands, enabling the valve island to be directly mounted to the cabinet. The 501 Series valve is claimed to provide the flow of a 15 to 20mm valve in an 11mm size, addressing customer needs for space savings and simplified construction and assembly.

The design is said to have the smallest footprint on the market, allowing for assembly possibilities where they would have not previously been possible.

As with traditional cabinet systems, this ASCO Numatics solution is highly resistant to corrosion thanks to cabinets that are constructed from anodised aluminium or AISI 316L stainless steel for protection and resistance against regular cleaning from harsh chemicals.

Designed for easy maintenance, the systems also include an integrated valve shut off accessory to individually isolate any valve in the circuit, allowing for valve maintenance and replacement without shutting down the entire process.

The mounting plate adapter allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users to directly connect the 501 Series valve manifold to a panel in the wall or floor of a cabinet. All panel strength, integrity and certifications are maintained.

The panel mount adapter plate is suited for applications in the process industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceutical and packaging machinery, plus general machine automation.
