1.1 The valve manifold VTIA
Festoassistsyou in solving your automation tasksat machine
level withvalvemanifold VTIA. The modular structureof the
valvemanifold enables you tomatchit optimally in your ma
chineor system.
The manifold sub−bases of the valvemanifold provides the
common ductsfor the supply and exhaust air.Working lines 2
and 4 areprovided for eachvalveposition on the individual
manifold sub−bases. The valves aresupplied withoperating
pressureand the valveexhaust air is dissipated via the com
mon ductsof the manifold sub−bases and the portsin the end
plates.
The pilot pressureis supplied via port 14 of the left end plate.
The function rangeat eachvalveposition can beextended by
meansof additional vertical stacking components, e.g.ex
haust air flow control or pressureregulation.
Depending on the manifold sub−bases used, the valvemani
fold VTIA is available with1, 2, 3... 16 valvepositions(see
also section 1.1.2 Description of components− Manifold sub−
bases).
1.1.1 Overview of variants
Sizes of the valvemanifold
VTIA
The valvemanifold is available in 18 mm and 26 mm sizes.
An intermediateplateis required tocombinethe two sizes
on onevalvemanifold.
