ROSS has long been in the forefront of double valve research and development. For over 60 years ROSS has been responding to the needs of press manufacturers and users by progressively improving double valve technology. Internal flow patterns of double valves developed by ROSS have included series flow, parallel flow, combined series-parallel tandem flow, and...
Open the catalog to page 2DM2® Series D Double Valves The ROSS DM 2® Series D double valves provide significant features in response to the changing demands of the mechanical press industry and its associated standards (e.g. EN 692 ff.) and regulations regarding the control of pneumatically controlled clutch and brake applications. The consensus requirements of the regulations and good practices require that, in case of a failure within the valve, the clutch and brake mechanisms be quickly exhausted, a monitor takes action to prevent further operation, and a method to alert personnel is incorporated. These features...

Open the catalog to page 7Overview of DM2® Series D Double Valve Function Valve de-actuated (ready-to-run): The flow of inlet air pressure into the crossover passages is restricted by the size of the passage between the stem and the valve body opening. Flow is sufficient to quickly pressurize pilot supply/timing chambers A and B. The inlet poppets prevent air flow from crossover passages into the outlet chamber. Air pressure acting on the inlet poppets and return pistons securely hold the valve elements in the closed position. (Air passages shown out of position and reset adapter omitted for clarity. EXHAUST S...

Open the catalog to page 9Valve Response Charts The charts below represent the fill and exhaust times for each of the various sizes of DM2® valves. The “fill” times were measured while raising (filling) the pressure in a volume from 0 to 2, 0 to 4, & 0 to 5,4 bar with a 6 bar inlet pressure. Conversely, the “exhaust” times were measured while lowering the pressure (exhausting) in a volume from 6 bar down to 4, 6 bar down to 2, & 6 bar down to 0,6 bar. Exhausting tests performed with silencer installed. Volume litres Volume litres Volume litres Volume litres Volume litres Volume litres © 2016, ROSS EUROPA GmbH.

General The design features of the DM 2® Series D are of considerable importance to users of double valves, such as on mechanical power press applications (EN 692) and other critical applications. This is because the DM 2® Series D is designed to meet the latest standards requiring (EN 954) “control reliable”, “Category-3 & -4”, or “dynamic monitoring” capability. Both the monitoring and memory capabilities of the DM2® Series D valve are built in to the two piston-poppet...
Open the catalog to page 11Start-up Before start-up, the installation must be checked thoroughly by persons trained and experienced in the operation of pneumatic equipment. Make sure that specifications given on the valve label (e.g. “max. operating pressure” and “electrical characteristics”) will be in accordance with the operating specifications of the press. When operating pressure is initially applied, it may be necessary to actuate the reset valve momentarily to move the main valve into the ready-to-run condition. Make sure that the inlet supply and the exhaust path are not restricted. Operating pressure must...
