Norgren’s portfolio of VR Series valve manifold solutions expanded with an array of connectivity options for industrial users. With new communication protocols, Norgren’s valve offering paves the way for a complete connected pneumatic solution and a one-stop-shop for valve manifolds.

Adding to the existing multipole connectivity option, the VR Series includes Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, and IO-Link to support a wide range of customers connecting to new or existing systems. Using a connected valve, users further performance insights on system performance plus easier installation and less analog hardware.

With 10mm and 15mm valve manifold body sizes available, the VR Series is a compact solution bringing flexibility and modularity. A plug-in, sub-base design allows valves to be exchanged quickly with up to 24 solenoids for prompt installation and no plumbing interruptions while supporting ongoing maintenance requirements.

The enhanced VR Series creates a connected solution for machine tools, mechanical, packaging, and material handling.
