New Original Festo 152617 VPEV-W-S-LED-GH Vacuum Switch: Detailed Introduction

Product Overview

The Festo 152617 (VPEV-W-S-LED-GH) is a precision vacuum switch designed for reliable detection of negative pressure (vacuum) in pneumatic systems. As part of Festo’s VPEV series, it converts vacuum pressure into an electrical signal, making it ideal for automated quality control, object detection, and process monitoring in industrial automation. Its compact design, adjustable setpoint range, and clear visual feedback make it suitable for material handling, packaging, and pick-and-place applications where reliable vacuum verification is critical.

Key Functions

  • Vacuum Level Monitoring: Continuously measures and monitors negative pressure within its operating range, triggering a switch signal when the setpoint is reached.
  • Setpoint Adjustment: Allows precise calibration of the vacuum threshold to match specific application requirements (e.g., detecting secure gripping of components).
  • Electrical Output: Provides a switchable electrical signal (SPDT changeover contact) for integration with PLCs, controllers, or alarm systems.
  • Status Indication: Equipped with a yellow LED to visually confirm vacuum switch status (active/inactive) for quick troubleshooting.
  • Overload Protection: Designed to withstand temporary overpressure up to 8 bar, ensuring durability in variable pneumatic environments.

  2. Rugged Reliability: IP65 protection and CRC 2 rating resist dust, moisture, and minor contamination, ensuring consistent performance in harsh industrial environments.
  3. Easy Integration: M8x1 plug-and-play connection simplifies wiring, while the SPDT output directly interfaces with standard industrial control systems.
  4. Clear Visibility: Integrated yellow LED provides instant status feedback, reducing downtime during setup and maintenance.
  5. Robust Construction: High-quality materials (NBR diaphragm, PA/PET housing) resist wear and tear, extending service life in continuous-operation systems.

Typical Applications

Ideal for vacuum-related tasks in:
  • Pick-and-Place Systems: Verifying secure gripping of parts before transfer (e.g., electronics, packaging).
  • Packaging Machinery: Ensuring proper vacuum formation for carton sealing, bag forming, or label application.
  • Material Handling: Detecting vacuum levels in robotic grippers, conveyor systems, and palletizing equipment.
  • Medical & Lab Equipment: Vacuum monitoring in diagnostic devices, sample handling, and cleanroom processes.
  • Automotive Manufacturing: Quality control in assembly lines, ensuring reliable clamping and positioning of components.
