RS Components expands Festo product range
RS Components has expanded its Festo product range. The new additions include the company's pneumatic and electrical products such as cylinders, actuators, valves and products for pneumatic air preparation. The range now comprises over 17,000 items.
In particular, RS Components will now be able to offer its customers many of the latest technology releases from the factory automation manufacturer. Examples include optical SOOD and SOOE sensors and pneumatic VUVS solenoid valves.
Festo 's range of optical SOOD and SOOE sensors for laser and LED light includes diffuse sensors with background suppression, through-beam sensors, retro-reflective sensors and sensors for transparent objects. Laser contrast and distance sensors complete the range. The integrated SOOD miniature sensors are suitable for a wide range of object detection tasks, especially when only very limited space is available for installation. Their standardized sensor functions and reusable mounting accessories make their use particularly fast and cost-effective. SOOE sensors are not only compact and versatile, but also offer all optical functions for object detection - from through-beam light to distance measurement - in an identical sensor housing for easy installation.
The VUVS high-performance pneumatic solenoid valves are easy to install and have a long service life. The approximately 20 different products in the range include the VUVS-L series, which was developed around a piston valve with a sealing cartridge with a flow rate of up to 2300 l / min. There is also the VUVS-LK series, which is based on a piston valve with a sealing ring, allowing flow rates of up to 1000 l/min. Inline valves can be used as individual valves or manifold valves. The series offers a wide range of installation options.
