ISO valve-to-base interface standards are internationally recognized and used throughout the world. Valves made for bases conforming to ISO standards are interchangeable without regard to manufacturer. ROSS offers a full line of base-mount valves that conform to the ISO valve-to-base mounting interface standard which specifies the “foot print" of the valve - indicating size and locations of ports, mounting bolts, and maximum valve width. There are two specific interface standards. The ISO 5599/I standard is designed for valves with drop cord electrical connections and the 5599/II standard facilitates plug-in-base electrical connections. Additionally, ROSS is proud to offer valves that conform to the VDMA 24563 interface. The Series W63 size 0 valves are ROSS’ newest base-mount offering. These valves also use drop cord connections. All these valves are available with sub-bases for individual installations and with manifolds for stacking several valves together.

The SAE Standard Interface, though originally developed by U.S. auto companies in the early 1970s, has quickly gained wide acceptance throughout the industry. Due to the design's ruggedness and high-flow characteristics, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) established it as a new standard. This ensures that valves designed to fit the SAE interface will be interchangeable, regardless of manufacturer. In practical terms, the user can change from one brand of valve to another without changing installed bases or manifolds. ROSS valves are available in SAE sizes 125, 250 and 500. Both poppet and metal spool-and-sleeve construction are offered. The valves described in the following bulletin are all solenoid-pilot controlled.

Series 21 Vacuum Service Valves Vacuum service valves are ideal for lifting, holding, vacuum packaging and moving anything from large objects to tiny particles. They also provide an effective means for leak testing. The vacuum source typically comes from either a vacuum pump or a venturi. In vacuum service applications, the pressure within the valve is reduced below atmospheric pressure. Consequently, atmospheric pressure actually pushes air into the valve, instead of the common belief that air is “sucked” in by the vacuum.

ROSS Double Valves, also known as “Control-Reliable valves"," Safety valves”, “Press valves”, “SERPAR® valves”, “Crossflow® valves”, and the “Critical Application Valve”, are pneumatic or hydraulic control valves with two valve elements (redundant or dual channel), both of which must operate in order to supply pressure to the outlet port of the valve. The general function of these valves is that of a 3/2 normally closed valve (except for the 5/2 CROSSMIRROR®). The main difference between these widely known double valves and standard solenoid valves, though, is that any condition, which might cause one valve element to not shift along with the other, results in no output to the work device. The outlet port, in this situation, is connected to exhaust and the supply inlet is closed.

CROSSMIRROR® Series-77 3/2 & 5/2 Double Valves The patented CROSSMIRROR® dynamic monitoring system and dual valve design combine to handle the most stringent of safety-related applications for pneumatic equipment – Category 4 safety-related applications. The internal dynamic monitor checks the valve on each cycle and includes an automatic lock-out function to inhibit further operation of the valve. The CROSSMIRROR® is available with remote reset or integrated solenoid reset. Both reset types are “tamper-proof” and the valve cannot be reset while the main valve solenoids are energized. Also, the reset function cannot be over-ridden by removing and reapplying the valve's electrical or pneumatic energy sources. Removing the inlet air supply causes the valve to lock-out, and, therefore, the valve must be reset after the air supply is reapplied.

SERPAR® Crossflow Series-35 Double Valves The design of the SERPAR® Crossflow double valve is distinguished by crossflow passages and spool valving on the main valve stems. This arrangement provides the valve's unique flow characteristics. Self-contained monitors, designed to inhibit valve operation in case of a fault within the valve, are built into the valve assemblies of sizes 4, 8, 12, and 30 valves. There are three types of ROSS monitors available: pneumatic (L-G), electro-pneumatic (E-P), and electronic (D-S). Crossflow valves are also available with pressure switches for incorporation into press control systems with external monitors.

SERPAR® Crossflow Double Valves w/ Dual Monitoring These dual-monitored valves are based on the proven technology of the SERPAR® Crossflow family of double valves, adding independent signal sources and redundant monitoring to meet CSA Z142 (Canadian Standards Association) requirements for safety circuit performance. Incorporating both ROSS’ L-G and E-P monitoring systems provides redundancy in monitoring through two separate, dissimilar monitors. The actuating solenoids are wired independently through a double-pole, double-throw switch in the E-P monitor. These new SERPAR® Crossflow Double Valves with Dual Monitoring are available in sizes 8, 12, and 30, with port sizes ranging from 1/2 to 2. The valves mount inline via removable flanges, and are available with or without manual overrides.

DM² SERPAR® Crossflow w/ TOTAL Dynamic Monitoring & Memory The DM² is a patented 3/2 normally closed valve (with an intermediate, lock-out position) distinguished by Crossflow® passages with poppet and spool valving on the main valve stems. This arrangement provides the valve’s outstanding flow characteristics and an integrated monitoring capability with TOTAL memory. The valve provides: DYNAMIC MONITORING means that all monitoring components change state on every valve cycle. Should the valve elements cycle asynchronously, the valve will lock out. DYNAMIC MEMORY is a monitoring system that locks out the valve, to prevent further operation, whenever the valve elements cycle asynchronously either on actuation or deactuation. The DM² system can only be reset by a defined operation, and will not self-reset or reset when inlet air supply is removed and re-applied. Such automatic resetting would conceal potential hazards from the operator.

ROSS SYSTEM PLUS is a totally modular concept which offers the choice of pneumatic or electric actuation, with guidance and control modules to suit the exact needs of individual installations. The actuators at the core of the system all have a common aluminum extruded profile, with double dovetail mounting rails on three sides. These are the principle building blocks of the system to which all modular options are directly attached. |
|
|
Aluminum roller guides provide smooth operation and high load carrying capacity for industrial automation. By the use of lightweight aluminum components, the moving masses are minimized, travel speeds are increased, and actuation energy is saved. Aluminum roller guides are designed to carry medium weight loads economically. Their smooth action and speeds up to 10 m/s make them ideal for widespread use in many areas of application. |

T he ROSS Proportional Regulator uses a unique technology called "Piezoceramics." The piezoceramic principle is analogous to a bi-metal strip in a thermostat. In a bi-metal strip, two dissimilar metals are bonded together. As the temperature changes, the two different metals expand or contract at different rates causing the strip to bend. In piezoceramics, two different polarity ceramic elements are bonded together. When a voltage is applied across the two elements, they change shape and this ceramic "sandwich" bends. This bender element then can be used as a valve actuator for a small 3-2 valve (proportional regulator). |
