FAQ
Q1: What is the MPV3 Series?
A: The MPV3 is a vacuum switching valve unit that integrates vacuum switching, blow-off, pressure sensing, filtration, vacuum flow adjustment, and blow-off flow adjustment.
Q2: Are the MPV and MPV2 Series still available?
A: Discontinuation Notice: The MPV and MPV2 Series have been discontinued. The MPV3 Series is the recommended replacement. For existing equipment replacement, confirm the original valve function, pressure sensor, solenoid valve voltage, and single-unit or manifold configuration before selecting the matching MPV3 specification.
Q3: What applications is the MPV3 suitable for?
A: The MPV3 is suitable for vacuum handling systems and centralized vacuum source management. It can also be used for automobile glass handling, cardboard assembly robots, and cardboard transfer applications.
Q4: Can the MPV3 be configured on a manifold?
A: Yes. The MPV3 is available as a single unit or manifold unit, with manifold configurations up to 8 stations for multi-point suction control.
Q5: Can vacuum flow and blow-off flow be adjusted?
A: Yes. The MPV3 includes a vacuum flow adjustment needle and a blow-off flow adjustment needle for tuning suction and release conditions.
Q6: What pressure sensor options are available for MPV3?
A: Available options include MVS-030AB, MPS-V23C-NGA-MPV3, MPS-R23C-NGA-MPV3, MVS-201-MPV3-A/W, and without-sensor configurations.
Q7: What are the control flow values of the vacuum and blow-off valves?
A: The vacuum valve control flow is about 50 L/min at -80 kPa, and the blow-off valve control flow is about 60 L/min at 0.5 MPa.
Q8: Is there a minimum air supply pressure for MPV3 operation?
A: Yes. Compressed air of 0.3 MPa or more is required for operation.
Q9: What maintenance parts are available for MPV3?
A: Maintenance parts include solenoid valves, manifold bases, block plates, filters, pressure sensors, and connector cables for MVS-201. Common part numbers include MC2, MPV3-M, MPV3-MM, MC2-E, MC2-F, and MC2-C201.
