Festo Airmotion Ride Simulator RideSimulator The interplay of fluidic muscles and mechatronic systems in the Airmotion_ride makes it possible to generate an extraordinary range of driving and flight simulations. A hexapod structure using parallel kinematics, with six Festo fluidic muscles, creates a realistic driving and flying sensation. In this project, leading pneumatics supplier Festo demonstrates an exciting, cost-effective alternative to complicated hydraulic constructions. Airmotion_ride
Festo Air Bearing ATBT ATBT_ The air bearing ATBT from Festo is a new way of transporting flat-panel displays and photovoltaic substrates. The air bearing works with a porous, air-permeable material with a micro porous structure which guarantees an even air flow. The key to the system is that the air bearing functions contactlessly via an air cushion, whilst still hardly using any compressed air. The air bearing ATBT is ideally suited for loading and unloading, as intermediate buffer, for lifting and centering, holding and clamping items using a vacuum or for use in inspection and test equipment, precise X-Y-movement systems or photolithography equipment.

Products for the semiconductor and electronics industry

Festo EXPT Electric Tripod EXPT Festo's version of the delta robot, the EXPT Electric Tripod system, is designed for high-speed-handling of small loads in space. Up to three times quicker than Cartesian systems and requiring less space, it uses Festo's actuator technology instead of elbow joints, enabling a higher dynamic response with larger effective loads. Multi-axis functionality is provided by Festo's CMXR robotic control system. EXPT electric tripod
Festo CMXR Robotic Control CMXR The CMXR is the core of a complete kinematic system solution: The multi-axis control combines the mechanical system, electrical drive technology and control technology to form a complete motion control product with integrated and standardized interfaces to all relevant system components. All programming, operational and diagnostic functions are carried out via a control module in FTL macro language text. Simple teach-in programming allows positions to be changed quickly. Because of the system’s robotic functions it is ideally suited for handling technology. CMXR robotic control
