Quick Summary

VM158511AB313B Valve Island enables compact, flexible pneumatic control for automated assembly lines. Engineers often struggle with install-time complexity and space constraints in tight machine layouts. IP65 rating protects against dust and water ingress while the design supports Fieldbus, multipole, or individually wired configurations, delivering scalable connectivity. With a long service life of up to 100 million cycles, this valve island reduces downtime and replacement costs. The VM15 family also offers high-density valve integration, enabling up to 32 solenoids (16 valves) in a single island. By combining a compact form with integral push-in fittings and lightweight construction, it streamlines installation, cabinet footprint, and maintenance routines, delivering tangible total cost of ownership benefits in demanding industrial environments.

FAQs

Begin by selecting an appropriate mounting location that minimizes wire runs. Mount the valve island using standard DIN rail or panel mounting hardware, then route compressed air to the 8 mm PIF ports. Connect fieldbus or individual solenoid signals according to your network architecture, ensuring proper polarity and secure push-in connections. Finally, test actuations in a staged sequence to confirm correct valve operation and leakage-free performance.
The VM158511AB313B operates between -5 and 50 °C (23 to 122 °F) and supports an operating pressure range of 3 to 8 bar (44 to 116 psi). It delivers a flow of up to 1000 L/min, suitable for demanding pneumatic circuits while maintaining reliable actuation across multiple valves in a single island.
Yes. The VM158511AB313B supports up to 32 solenoids (16 valves) in one valve island, enabling high-density control without requiring larger manifolds. This reduces cabinet footprint, shortens wiring runs, and simplifies diagnostics, making it ideal for compact packaging lines, robotic feeders, and other space-constrained automation tasks.
The valve island carries an IP65 protection rating, providing robust dust and water ingress protection suitable for harsh industrial environments. While IP65 is the primary certification specified, its rugged construction and fieldbus compatibility align with common industry standards for modular valve islands used across automation projects.
With a long life of up to 100 million cycles, the VM158511AB313B reduces downtime and spare-part consumption. Its compact, dense design shortens installation time and minimizes cabinet space, while flexible wiring options streamline upgrades and expansions, delivering lower total cost of ownership and a faster return on investment in mid-to-large scale automation projects.
