SMC VP544/744-X555/585 Dual Residual Pressure Release Valves

The SMC VP544/744-X555/585 Dual Residual Pressure Release Valves range with Soft Start-up Function is designed to meet ISO13849-1 safety standards.

The range features an integrated soft-start-up function that gradually builds the pressure of the pneumatic system in order to deliver performance consistency and safety.

The valves have two stations, so if one fails to operate, residual pressure is released by the remaining valve to maintain the safety function. Further features include a selectable throttle and fixed orifice that allows the pressure to be easily adjusted. In addition, they come with IP65 enclosure protection, a safety limit switch to ensure that the main valve position is automatically checked and the ability to connect to modular type FRL units, offering good flexibility and versatility and allowing the valves to be used across a broad range of applications.

Safety valves are also integrated with the SISTEMA software tool which helps to reduce risk by feeding information through rapidly so that operators can react quickly.

The valves are suitable for high-risk application such as in automatic machines, pick-and-place and progressive start-ups such as those found in most industrial operations.
