Collection:Festo Control Blocks VOFA

Festo Control Blocks VOFA are robust, purely mechanical control devices designed for critical safety applications in industrial settings. These control blocks serve as press safety valves, complying with ISO 16092-4 and EU directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive). Their primary function is to provide safe reversing of hazardous movements or secure venting of pneumatic drives, making them essential for maintaining workplace safety.

Available in two configurations, VOFA control blocks can be installed as decentralized individual units with separate electrical and pneumatic connections, or integrated directly into the VTSA/VTSA-F valve manifold system. Each block is equipped with VSVA pneumatic valves and features sensor-based switching position detection for precise control and monitoring.

The redundant design of these control blocks ensures reliable performance in safety-critical applications. When selecting a VOFA control block, consider the specific safety requirements of your application, the integration method (standalone or manifold-integrated), and the compatibility with your existing pneumatic systems. These control blocks are particularly suited for press applications, where they can be employed as safety valves in accordance with ISO 16092-4, providing an additional layer of protection in potentially hazardous industrial processes.
