Emerson: AVENTICS XV Platform Expanded to Address Growing Demand for Higher Airflow in Automation

Across factory automation, packaging, water treatment, and automotive manufacturing, machine builders are facing a familiar challenge: higher airflow demands in increasingly compact machine designs. Moving to a larger valve platform can solve the airflow problem but introduces new complexity — different interfaces, different configurations, and disruption to established machine architectures. Emerson has developed the AVENTICS XV05 High Flow Valve System to address this gap directly.
