Compressed air and cooling water supply

for robots in the automotive industry

If reliably supplying complete welding lines or individual welding robots with compressed air and cooling water is important for you, then it’s time to invest in the future. With an efficient solution that is tailored to your application, that is quick and easy to integrate in your environment and that can also rise to the demands of Industry 4.0 – whether in body manufacture or the assembly process.

Reliable, efficient and optimally tailored to your requirements

Individually configurable and ready-to-install hall and robot installation plates (HIP/RIP) pay for themselves. With Festo, you get everything from a single source wherever you are in the world, from configuration, construction and testing through to complete documentation – as one package with just one part number. This means you save time and money right from when you place the order, and especially during the entire project development process. This will help you gain a competitive edge.


Hall installation plates (HIP)

The compressed air and cooling water supply for complete welding cells is regulated and monitored using HIPs. These are often integrated into the safety barrier as they need to be accessible from the outside. See the picture gallery for examples of hall installation plates.



Robot installation plates (RIP)

Robot installation plates (RIP) are generally installed inside the welding cell next to or on the robot foot. They regulate and monitor the compressed air and cooling water flow of an individual robot. See the picture gallery for examples of robot installation plates.
