“In Festo, we have a competent devel
opment partner for all of our machine
automation needs.”
Ready-to-install system solutions
When designing the system solutions for
the mill-turn centres, the specialists from
the Festo Technology and Application
Centres were able to call on a wealth of
experience gained while designing thou
sands of ready-to-install handling solu
tions. This experience is hugely valuable
in projects of this kind, as it ensures the
trouble-free integration of various bus
systems or the I/O interface in the
machine controller. Customer-specific
solutions for installation interfaces and
disconnection points are adapted to the
requirements. In this case, the loader and
unloader as well as the tool changer in
the additional magazine provide a highly
flexible solution as the front end can be
adapted to the customer’s requirements.
“The integrated automation solution
with the loader and unloader as well as
the tool changer from Festo help to
achieve a space-saving machine layout,”
says Schweicher.
“Since three quarters of our machines
are used around the world, it is even
more important that we work with a glo
bal partner like Festo with its extensive
sales and service network. This is particu
larly true for China, where we as a ma
chine tool manufacturer are experiencing
especially strong growth,” adds Boscher
from Stama.
