Electromagnetic valves are linked to create a valve manifold with a common power supply and controller: the valve terminal. Festo pioneered the concept and has continued to develop advanced designs for light, medium and heavy duty applications. For example, the VTUG is a compact, cost-effective choice with a high flow rate, the MPA-S is a highly configurable smart terminal with maximum function integration while the MPA-C Clean Design (IP69K) is built to withstand rigorous washdowns in food and beverage production. For heavy industry, the ruggedized VTSA can incorporate five valve sizes on a single terminal.
