💡 Innovative Valve Systems and Configuration Flexibility​

Emerson's booth will also feature an interactive product wall and a website configurator. Visitors will be able to customize AVENTICS Series XV valve systems to their specific needs.

• 
  []AVENTICS Series XV Pneumatic Valves: Offering approximately 100 million possible configurations and high flow rates, these valves provide OEMs with advanced design flexibility and scalability when designing material handling systems or automation solutions. Through the configurator tool, visitors can specify valve size, electronics, fieldbus protocol, pressure regulators, shut-off valves, flow modules, and pressure supply modules to match their exact application. The XV03 model offers flow volumes up to 350 liters NL/min, while the XV05 model offers up to 1,000 liters NL/min.
  
  []AVENTICS Series CERAM Directional Valves: In this interactive demonstration, a contaminant will be introduced into the pneumatic system to showcase the robust performance and reliable operation of Emerson's ISO valve offering under challenging real-world conditions. Operating with two ground ceramic plates, these valves are designed for harsh environments and tight production schedules, minimizing downtime due to failures and planned maintenance.
