Appropriate products for battery manufacturing
Servo press kit YJKP
The pre-assembled system kit comprising software, controller and hardware for electrical press-fitting and joining up to 17 kN. The pre-installed software is ready for use straightaway and intuitive to parameterise.
Planar surface gantry EXCH
Maximum dynamic response. The Cartesian high-speed handling unit EXCH can move freely around the entire rectangular working space. Its two fixed motors make it extremely dynamic and provide great acceleration; its moving dead weight is minimal, just like its power consumption.
Solenoid valve VUVG, plug-in
This universal valve has been newly designed on the inside and now offers an outstanding combination of high flow rates and a compact design. The entire VUVG range, as an individual valve or a valve terminal, is designed to cater precisely for all your requirements.
Compact cylinders DPDM
Compact as it’s shorter and lighter and can be screwed on in a variety of ways. With fixed cushioning, a non-rotating or through piston rod, single or double-acting: exactly as you need it.

Do the products survive the dry room?
Yes. You can use our standard components in dry room environments without any worries. This has been supported by laboratory tests and by practical experience with test systems as well as industrial production applications. The tests were carried out under ambient conditions with a dew point of -65° C. In all cases, products from Festo retain their quality characteristics in the dry room, especially where wear and performance are concerned.
