MODULAR ELECTIRCAL / PENUMATIC AUTOMATION SYSTEM TYPE
8644 AirLINE
AirLINE Type 8644 is an electrical and pneumatic automation system which has been developed for use in
control cabinets or boxes. In a through system, all electronic and pneumatic components are standardized
so that if simple rules are complied with, electrical and electronic modules of differing functionality may be
combined in a very simple manner. All components are connected via a snap-on mechanism. This includes
the necessary electrical connections. In this way, for example, valves and power outputs may be combined
with only one field bus connection. A number of electrical modules (terminals) may be combined very
simply with valves mounted on special pneumatic modules (valve units).
Features
Characteristics of AirLINE are:
• Simple handling.
• Functional block construction of switched box or cabinet.
• Automatic build-up of potential groups, current, data and safety circuits.
• Open, flexible modular structure
• Combination of valve units and terminals in differing cluster size (2-fold, 4-fols, ...) for space and price
optimized station construction.
Advantages
This principle brings the following advantages:
• Flow-optimized valve structure
Pressure range from vacuum to 10 bar
Flow rates of approx. 300l/min or 700 l/min with a valve width of 10 mm and/or 16 mm.
• Integration of non-return valves into the pneumatic base module (optional).
• High service life through rocker technology with oiled and non-oiled air.
• Simple combination of different functions, configuration and extension through high level of modularity.
• Numerous valve functions: 3/2, 5/2 (monostable, bistable) and 5/3 way functions.
• Mechanical Manual-Emergency operation.
• Different pressure levels possible in a single chain.
• Integration of pressure gauges for display of the operational pressure.
• Central compressed air supply via connection modules possible on both sides, as well as intermediate
supply.
