The VTUX-A-S elevates communication efficiency with its advanced serial communication link, facilitating a seamless bidirectional exchange of data and information between the valve and the PLC.

This innovative self-diagnostic feature significantly enhances the VTUX's value in any control system, ensuring reliability and optimal performance.

Furthermore, it has decentralised installation options offering the following outstanding benefits:
Short tubing for reduced air consumption and highdynamic response
Only two electrical cables to bridge the distances− between AP subscribers up to 50 m
Shorter cycle times

The VTUX-A-P-APA is a CPX basic valve terminal for pneumatics with parallel communication. Its internal parallel linking provides unidirectional control signals and supports the connection of up to 32 valve coils.

This powerful platform not only delivers integrated vacuum functions but also saves costs, all without the need for sensor feedback.

The VTUX valve terminal also offers central installation options that maximise your operational efficiency:

Clear layout or effortless organisation
Easy to access and maintain
Can be extended at specific points
Less effort to install and earth

Choose the VTUX-A-P-APA for a reliable and effective solution that meets your pneumatic needs.

28/07/2026

VSNC valves are pilot valves for single- and double-acting quarter-turn and linear actuators with a connection pattern in accordance with VDI/VDE 3845, such as DAPS, DFPB, and DLP. With the appropriate accessories, such as a connection kit, they can also be mounted on actuators without a NAMUR interface, such as diaphragm actuators. They are designed for the requirements of process automation. A mechanical spring (single solenoid valves) ensures safe switching to the initial position in the event of a power failure. Working ports 2, 4 on valves VSNC-F...-P2 are designed according to VDI/VDE 3845 NAMUR.

Innovative:
• Conversion from a 3/2-way to a 5/2-way valve simply by turning the seal
• Enables single- or double-acting actuators to be controlled with one valve
• The valve can be ordered either with non-detenting/detenting or non-detenting manual override or without manual override. It is converted using a special cap. The part number is therefore identical. It can be converted at any time

⚙️ Precision and robustness for demanding industrial applications: The Festo DGSS mini slide is designed for applications that require high precision, robustness, and stability, even in environments with continuous motion, vibration, or heavy loads.

Thanks to its ball-bearing guide, compact dimensions, and the ability to integrate stroke and damping adjustment elements, the DGSS optimises performance and reduces cycle times.

The DGSS mini slide is an ideal solution for handling, assembly, and pick-and-place applications, as well as the manufacture of electronic components, especially in lithium-ion (F1A) battery factories. 🎥 See it in action.

⚡ Get hands on with precision, straight from the Vault

The CMMT‑ST Starter Kit is your fast‑track entry into precision motion control. Compact, complete, and ready to run, it brings together a servo drive, perfectly matched motor and encoder, along with cables, example configurations, and guided resources, everything you need to move quickly from idea to working demonstrator.

Designed to accelerate prototyping, the starter kit includes sample projects and pre-configured motion profiles that showcase common automation tasks such as point‑to‑point positioning, camming, looping, and simple coordination. This allows you to explore performance, tuning behaviour, and control strategies early, without unnecessary setup effort.

Clear wiring layouts and practical software examples simplify commissioning and help you validate mechanical integration, test control algorithms, and verify encoder feedback with confidence before scaling up to a full machine design.
