The South Korean company, DNC Engineering, has
developed a machine to grind the cut edges of
organic light emitting diode cells. The OLED edge
grinder removes unwanted micro cracks that appear
when the cells are cut. Festo’s proportional pressure
control valve VPPM ensures a quick, reliable work
process. Its two-stage control circuit with multi
sensor control precisely adjusts the machine
pressure and keeps the machine power constant
even with different loads.
OLEDs have a very promising future as a flexible,
environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional
display technologies. Apart from a larger viewing
angle, power consumption is lower because there
is no additional background lighting.

The demand for components for
compressed air preparation, such as the
MS series, is increasing enormously all
over the world. This led Festo to open the
third part of its Global Production Centre
Air Supply in Budapest in the summer of
2011. The factory in the Hungarian capital
is the main plant for air preparation
units and vacuum technology and
manufactures these products to order
for customers across the world. By the
end of 2012 the factory will employ
almost a 1000 people and thus become
the fourth largest factory within the
Festo group of factories. Festo has been
manufacturing in Hungary since 1983.
