Modular Pneumatic Valve Unit - Burkert Type 8640

The 8640 valve unit system is designed to solve diverse and complex control problems due to its systematic modular construction and combination of pneumatic and electrical interfaces.By putting together a row of pneumatic modules with different numbers of valves, 2 to 24 valve functionalities may be realized on one valve unit.

• Modular system with multiple valves.
• Compact, easy to connect systems.
• High flow rates, highly reliable.
• Available with analog and digital I/O
• High flexibility
• Simple exchange of valves (with option “P-shut-off”- also possible during operation).

Electrical connectivity is achieved by either fieldbus interfaces, common connection (parallel connection technique) or multipole interfaces.The valves allow different applications to be covered. Bodies and connection modules are made of high-quality plastic(polyamide) and are easy to assemble by means of the built-in snap connectors.

640 valve island system is a system of modular design which can be built up to specific requirements. Software program, the simple, precise generation of the required configuration of each 8640 system.

The Bürkert Configurator software defines:

• Number and types of valves.
• Type of (intermediate) supplies.
• Combination of Fieldbus, pilot valves and I/O modules.

The results supplied by the Configurator:

• Bill of materials.
• Illustration.
• Drawings.
