This is where the life of a car starts: Festo in the pressing shop

Festo in the press shop

Automotive parts take shape

Pressing and moulding body parts require absolute precision. Festo provides the necessary precision work, often in very tight spaces: from handling parts to reliable gripping, feeding and separating to centring and holding.

Festo in the pressing shop

A challenging job for automation. Performed with precision.

Automation is a true workhorse when it comes to pressing and moulding body parts from sheet steel at the beginning of a car's life; after all, the rolls or sheets weigh several hundred tonnes. The sheets are separated and fed to the press. This requires high precision, often in the tightest of spaces. This is where Festo's tailored solutions ensure that the sheet feed functions smoothly and with no faults at all times and that the parts can be handled both reliably and economically.
