vuvgNew Benchmark for Solenoid Valves

 

Built , tested and delivered from Gibson Engineering stock

VUVG Valves

 

The Festo VUVG is setting a new benchmark for solenoid valves. It makes applications easier and less expensive. Its small footprint with its high flow rate to small size ratio makes it the best in its class. And of course it is easy to order, install and commission.

  

The VUVG is a great option for everyone who wants to keep things small or boost performance without increasing size.  It has up to 100% more flow and greater energy density thanks to a pressure capability of up to 10 bar.  The patented cartridge seal concept with its unique seal profile and materials makes  the VUVG the highest performing, most versatile valve in its class and with longer service life.

 

Festo E-Box

Footprint = higher flow rate with less space 
Cartridge principle = very durable and reliable
Easy-to-install = quick and error-free
E-Box = versatile electrical connection options

 
With features like the patented E-box system we can provide the correct electrical connection with just one click.  Retained mounting screws and positive-locking seals make assembling multi-station manifolds a breeze.  
Gibson Engineering stocks VUVG valves and accessories so that we can deliver your configuration quickly.

XUY Sensors
 
New roller sensor for conveyor applications 

The new OsiSense™ XUY Roller Sensors mounts between rollers with no risk of incidental contact with packages or products.This new range of roller sensors for reliable detection in industrial environments integrates seamlessly with the conveying installation, ensuring continuous, safe, and efficient detection. No background or foreground limitations while detection is effective on the full width of the conveyor.

 

This easy mounting shockproof sensor is embedded within the frame of the machine and fixed between rollers, which prevent product damage or destruction. Modular it requires no tools and let you gain 50% of installation and adjustment time.

Roller Sensor

  • Whatever the color, shape or position
  • Optimized installation and maintenance
  • 100% detection

Tri-Tronics Logo xpcSMARTEYE® X-PRO XPC

Photoelectric communication sensor

 

The SMARTEYE® X-PRO XPC is the most versatile Photoelectric Communication Sensor available on the market. This unique photoelectric sensor is designed to be used in any application where physical contact of the sensor is either restricted, undesirable, or delays production line throughput. XPC Sensor

 

The XPC is available in two communications options; RS-485 for multi-drop applications where sensors need to be addressed and bussed together, or RS-232 for single-drop applications where the sensor is behind safety interlocks, or in hard-to-reach areas that restrict easy access. 

 

These sensors can be easily interfaced to HMI's or PLC's using MODBUS ASCII or RTU communication protocol using our free comprehensive EyewareXPC software.

 

  • Downloadable Recipes
  • RS-485 Multi-Drop or RS-232 Single Drop
  • Five On-board Memory Locations
  • Button Lockout
  • Available in White, Red, or Infrared LED

Sick Logo ml20ML20 Markless Sensor

ML20 Markless Sensor Eliminate the need for print marks 

 

Using pattern recognition, the ML20 Markless sensor detects the cutting position for label applications without the use of print marks. This completely new technology provides reliable detection, even with complex images means more freedom when designing packaging while allowing for more efficient utilization of space on the product instead of using unnecessary print marks and place markers. 

ML20 in action

  • Tough metal housing
  • Scanning speed of 7 m/s
  • Monitor process quality via a control panel or SOPAS
  • Easy sensor teach-in and alignment
  • Reproducibility of 0.6 mm (2 Sigma)
