The system design sets the course for the efficient use of energy and a rapid return on investment. Every form of energy, be it pneumatic or electrical, has specific benefits. Festo has extensive expertise in both technologies, which means that you get technology-independent advice. Even in the design phase it is possible to achieve a high level of savings potential through the use of highly efficient selection and sizing software tools. This applies to electrical, servo-pneumatic and pneumatic drive systems.
CACOS®
is a program for the numerical simulation of the dynamic behaviour of pneumatic, electrical and mechanical drive systems. The numerical simulation of the system behaviour performed by CACOS involves a recalculation of the entire system that is described. The planning of drive systems is supported through the targeted, interactive variation of components and/or parameters. This enables suitable components to be selected for the implementation of a given automation task or to vary parameters in order to improve existing solutions.
