Valve Islands & Manifolds
Valve islands group several pneumatic valves on one manifold with shared air supply and wiring. This sub-category lists valve islands. A single island replaces many separate valve bases and tubing runs, which also makes fault finding easier.
They are used on machines with many actuators, where compact mounting and neat cabling save space and installation time. Consider the number of valve positions, the port size, the electrical connection and the communication type.
- Controlling many cylinders from one block
- Compact valve mounting on machine frames
- Reducing wiring on large pneumatic systems
