Big trend: function integration on valve terminals

Function integration means increased productivity and reduced installation

  • Electrical components: up to 512 digital/analogue I/O, temperature and pressure sensors
  • Pneumatics: up to 128 valves
  • Proportional pneumatics: up to eight pressure regulators on the bus
  • Servopneumatics: positioning and soft stop for up to eight axes
  • Motion control: electrical drives, synchronous/asynchronous/2.5 D interpolation
  • Safety engineering: press valves, special valves and start-up pressurisation

Process reliability: avoid 35% of all unscheduled downtime

Plan your downtime!

20 years of integrating comprehensive diagnostic services has led to the best of what it takes today to increase your productivity

Thanks to consistent condition monitoring, unscheduled downtime can be avoided in 35% of cases.
And with improved diagnostics it can be improved long-term in 65% of cases.

 

 

 

 

High process reliability:

  • Reduced downtime thanks to the integrated condition monitoring system (CMS) and the comprehensive, channel-specific diagnostics for electrical and pneumatic systems
  • Parameterise and integrate yourself – or request a service package from Festo: design, programming and commissioning all done for you
  • Valve terminals and I/O systems from Festo are fully checked and pre-assembled and offer a 100% functional warranty ex-works
