Festo Unveils MS6-SV Soft-Start And Exhaust Valve

Festo has launched an electrically operated pneumatic soft-start and exhaust valve that offers safer start-up and the quick, reliable venting of compressed-air supplies in the event of an emergency. The company claims that the MS6-SV provides machine builders with a compact, all-in-one solution for maximising the safety of automation systems. It is fully compliant with the EN ISO 13849-1 standard on machinery safety and is certified to categories 3 and 4.

EN ISO 13849-1 will replace the existing EN 954-1 safety standard on 30 November 2009 and forms part of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, which will become mandatory at the end of 2009. The valve is intended to help designers and machine builders address some of the key issues in the directive, including meantime to (dangerous) failure, self diagnostics, common cause failure protection and external validation and certification. Festo's MS6-SV valve provides a three-/two-way function and features fast venting - it has an exhaust flow rate of 6,000 litres per minute, which is one-and-a-half times its standard maximum operational flow rate - making it suitable for implementing 'emergency-stop' functions in safety-critical system areas.

The MS6-SV soft-start and exhaust valve is described as a high-reliability, self-testing mechatronic component with built-in safety redundancy; the design incorporates parallel valves to ensure the failsafe exhaust of the system, even in the event of one of the valves developing a fault.

Fully integrated sensors continuously monitor the physical position of the valve components to confirm the valve's condition and status, while built-in self-test facilities automatically check the safety functions at system power-up and every hour thereafter. Overall system safety is further enhanced by the MS6-SV's soft-start function, whereby the gradual - and adjustable - pressurisation of the system ensures that pre-exhausted actuators move steadily to their start positions without shocks or impacts that could damage machinery or operators.

All MS6-SV valves feature an integral light-emitting-diode (LED) status display for local condition monitoring, diagnostics and troubleshooting. The company claims that configuration options include an easy-to-read built-in pressure gauge and an exhaust silencer, which is a safety device in its own right.

The silencer features a labyrinth design with a minimum internal bore size of 4mm to preserve airflow even in the presence of heavy contamination. The MS6-SV valves can be optimally combined with the company's complete MS range of configurable air service and preparation units to create ready-assembled and -tested, fully EN ISO 13849-1-compliant, compressed-air safety systems.
