One integrated platform for all your automation needs
One platform for electric automation means seamless connectivity. From electromechanical systems, servo motors and servo drives to complete positioning systems and motion control solutions as well as entire handling systems and decentralised control solutions. Always with the right commissioning software, the Festo Automation Suite.
You will always keep complete flexibility, because you decide yourself how much you want to automate with Festo and which of our products you will combine with your in-house standards. This allows you to gradually adapt your system while staying within budget.
Mechanical connectivity
The wide range of mechanical linear axes and rotary modules offers you almost infinite variety for motion automation – compatible with our servo motors and of course with your in-house standard.
Electric connectivity
Our range of servo motors and servo drives is the ideal link between your mechanical system and your control technology; they are always optimally coordinated, easily configured and quickly commissioned with the Festo Automation Suite software.
Intelligent connectivity
The free, flexible communication and the direct, complete integration of our servo drives into higher-level control concepts as well as the decentralised control of individual process modules using integrated motion control solutions from Festo enable a wide range of solutions for industrial automation tasks – supported by innovative software solutions for engineering and configuration.
Festo Automation Suite commissioning software
The commissioning software for the complete drive system – from the mechanical system to the controller. Simple and consistent: optimum parameterisation and programming using the Festo Automation Suite software.
- Greatly simplified, consistent commissioning of the entire drive system including mechanical system
- Have your drive system up and running in only 5 steps with the initial commissioning wizard
- 2 clicks instead of 100: greatly simplified integration of the servo controller CMMT-AS into the control program with CPX-E-CEC
- Install device plug-ins and add-ons conveniently, securely and without errors directly from the software
- Access device information and instructions for all system components directly from the software
- Integrated controller programming with CODESYS technology for motion control and robotic functions

Transport system MCS®
MCS® – transporting and dynamic positioning with the Multi-Carrier-System. For this purpose, the modular transport system can be freely integrated into your existing intralogistics.
With MCS® you optimise the productivity of your machinery and have flexibility in series production above a batch size of one.
Flexible
- Each carrier can be moved freely
- Format changes at the push of a button
Fast
- High dynamic response, even with large loads
- Very short changeover times
Efficient
- MCS® technology only at the stations relevant to the process
- Series production for batch sizes greater than 1
