CPV10 Series FESTO Classic Tiger Valves 10mm Width Pneumatic Control Valves Ideal for Industrial Automation Applications

Product Description:

One of the standout characteristics of this series is its remarkable compactness. Each valve plate measures only 10 millimeters in width. Despite its small installation footprint, it combines the functionality of two valves—either dual electric control or two-position five-way—within a single unit. This results in an exceptionally high power density. Such a design enables direct installation near actuators or equipment modules, significantly conserving space within control cabinets.

The CPV10 series features a modular splicing structure that allows users to connect several valve plates together according to their specific requirements. Typically, between two and eight valve plates can be combined and managed collectively via bus nodes. This modularity greatly simplifies configuration and future expansion. When additional functionalities are needed, extra valve plates can be easily added to the existing setup.

Despite its compact size, the CPV10 valve offers impressive flow performance, with a standard flow rate reaching up to 400 liters per minute, suitable for driving most standard cylinders. Its ability to be installed close to the actuator shortens the length of the air path, which in turn minimizes pressure losses and enhances the cylinder’s response speed.

To accommodate diverse on-site requirements, the series provides multiple electrical interface options. These mainly include:

• Multi-pin interface: Utilizes multi-core cables for simplified wiring.
• Fieldbus interface: Supports several popular industrial communication protocols such as PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet, CANopen, EtherCAT, and others, facilitating seamless integration into automated networks.
• AS-i interface: Designed for straightforward distributed I/O control.

The valve island achieves a protection rating of IP65, effectively guarding against dust ingress and water exposure from all directions. This ensures reliable operation even in harsh industrial conditions. Furthermore, certain models have received ATEX explosion-proof certification, making them suitable for use in environments with potential explosive hazards, such as chemical and pharmaceutical plants.

Each valve plate is equipped with an LED status indicator that visually presents operational states including on/off status and fault conditions. Additionally, most models come with manual control devices, or manual triggers, enabling manual operation during troubleshooting, maintenance, or power failure situations. These features simplify maintenance tasks and promote ease of use.

Applications:

The CPV10 valve island is recognized for its compact design, flexibility, and high reliability, making it a popular choice in various automation environments where space optimization and operational efficiency are critical.

In general industrial automation, the CPV10 is well-suited for a variety of applications including packaging machines, assembly line operations, material handling and transportation systems, as well as sorting equipment. Its versatility enhances productivity across these sectors.

For industries that prioritize cleanliness, the CPV10 valve island is extensively utilized in fields such as electronic assembly, semiconductor manufacturing, medical device production, and pharmaceutical packaging. These areas demand pneumatic control components that deliver both high volume and dependable performance.

Additionally, the CPV10 offers explosion-proof variants designed for specialized environments. These models are ideal for use in chemical and biological industries where the presence of flammable or explosive gases and dust poses significant risk, ensuring safe and reliable operation under challenging conditions.
