Cutting air losses and speeding up reaction times are just two immediate benefits of using the latest AirBox from ifm electronic. Combined with the new installation design and more valve options, the ifm AS-i AirBox is now an even smoother way to run pneumatics.
The new AirBoxes are easier to use than ever with the novel quick installation design that clips onto the base without tools and is held firmly. The AS-i cable can run in three directions for neater installation.
New non-overlapping solenoids offer additional air switching options of 2 x 3/2-way valves, 1 x 5/2-way valve (monostable/bistable) or 1 x 5/3-way valve with blocked centre position.
Pressure resistance is also now enhanced up to 12 bar, and the new AirBoxes have extended addressing. The additional fault LED as well as the LEDs for indication of the logical state of the PLC outputs are standard for all AirBox versions.
All nine new AirBox variants are complemented by a range of accessories to aid installation.
