Reducing heat transfer to the media using valves

In laboratory automation, many liquids are used that react sensitively to heat. One possible factor for the transfer of heat to the fluid are media-separated solenoid valves, which are usually actuated electromagnetically. The valve series VYKx from Festo reduces the transfer of heat to the media to a minimum.

Interview: Bin picking for intralogistics

Intralogistics is facing many challenges. Increasing product diversity, ever larger order volumes and expectations of fast delivery times are putting companies under more and more pressure to optimise their processes. Bin picking is an important intralogistics application, and is continuously further automated to cope with demanding market requirements. We spoke to Arquemino Lopes Junior, Industry Segment Manager Intralogistics at Festo, about the importance of bin picking and how this technology improves efficiency and flexibility in intralogistics.
