Festo's MPA-C valve terminal meets IP69K and CRC4 requirements
Festo is launching the MPA-C valve terminal as the latest addition to its 'Clean Design' portfolio, with the company claiming that this product sets a new industry standard by meeting the requirements for protection class IP69K and CRC4 (Corrosion Resistance Class 4). Developed in conjunction with Tetra Pak, the MPA-C boasts many innovative valve functions and the modular sub-base design facilitates flexibility to easily expand to a maximum of 32 valves or solenoid coils. According to Festo, in many cases mounting the IP69K MPA-C valve terminal directly on the machine will be more cost-effective than installing lower-specification valve terminals in an IP69K control cabinet, so the new product has the potential to save money for machine builders and system integrators.
