Festo Valves > New Festo MS6-SV-C and MS9-SV-C Innovative safety valves

A new benchmark  of safety valves set by the  Festo MS6-SV-C and Festo MS9-SV-C.

Are new innovative combined soft start and quick exhaust safety valve that will set new standards they are both safety level C, Low cost and capable of high flow rates, and DIM ISO 13849-1 available in ½ and ¾ and 1” connection ports.

New laws and directives that focus to ensure the safety of machines communicate with human beings i.e. the EC (ECMD) machinery directive.  Festo pneumatics safety solutions can help address these safety issues and ensure the safety of your systems.  Once a risk assessment has been completed, Electroquip can support you with technical safety measures regarding – Safety sensors, safety controls on the processing side (logic) and protective measures on the output level.

The Festo MS6-SV-C and the MS9-SV-C deal with the fast air dumping of a machine and the slow build up/start of air once the air is evacuated from a system. These new valves provide outstanding substantial flow rates available in very compact size. Therefore, the valve can vent air in the system rapidly and easily, providing remarkable performance and response in an emergency thereby giving machine builders improved safety.

The following generation of valve is believed to create innovative standards because it's extremely configurable and it is considered to be the only valve available on the market that allows machine builders to readily modify both the pressure switching point and air flow, as a result ideally optimising their system. 

Festo safety valves are aimed to minimize risk to moderate systems while having certification up to minimal risk systems as well as having certification to a maximum performance level C in line with DIN EN ISO 13849-1. Festo MS6-SV-C and Festo MS9-SV-C valves have been created for applications that have very low switching frequencies, including venting once Emergency-stop buttons or even door locks have been triggered.

Due to its soft-start function, unmonitored movements by system elements will be averted throughout start-up additionally, the system has no residual pressure when vented, as a result supplying outstanding protection for your user. Festo range has two types which are perfect for either sixty millimetres or ninety millimetres of mass MS series air preparation range. Festo MS9-SV-C provides a regular standard flow rate a maximum of sixteen thousand five hundred l/min as well as an air escaping volume of a maximum of twenty thousand five hundred l/min. Festo MS6-SV-C features a regular flow rate of a maximum of five thousand 700 hundred l/min, as well as an air escaping volume of maximum of seven thousand six hundred, l/min.

Compact  in size and merging of 2 functions into a single device, they are ideal for system manufacturers in the food, packaging and vehicle sectors which could be simply installed inside Festo air preparation system included in the safety configuration set-up. Festo valves help in enhancing the machines dependability merely by lowering the impact as well as harm to payloads as well as the machinery.
