Automation components in primary aluminium plants are continuously exposed to extreme heat, ultra-fine alumina dust and strong magnetic fields. This means that the requirements for crust breakers, feeder cylinders as well as pilot valves are very high. They need to be able to withstand these aggressive ambient conditions.

Saving energy is easier than ever before thanks to the MSE6-E2M. It

helps end users to achieve their energy effi ciency and sustainability

targets and improves the effi ciency of machinery for OEMs.

Respond to failures? Or predict them? A predictive maintenance
strategy will make your welding guns more productive. Because
welding guns need to work with precision, reliability and efficiency
to be economical. Change is worth it. As an add-on to the Festo drive
solutions for welding guns, the Festo Welding Gun Maintenance
System monitors all welding guns in the factory. The software solution
helps you to detect process anomalies in good time, optimise
maintenance and save energy – thanks to Industry 4.0.

Whether it is for monitoring screwing in, riveting, ultrasonic welding, pressing or adhesive bonding processes, piston positions always need to be detected in order to ensure high repetition accuracy.

Now there is an inexpensive alternative to costly positional transducers or mechanical potentiometers: the programmable SDAT-MHS for analogue feedback signals.

As a position transmitter that has the same size as a proximity switch, the SMAT-8M is designed for all applications where space is restricted. Its compact design opens up new areas of application, particularly for compact cylinders and grippers. The piston position is indicated by an analogue voltage signal.

The conditions in many manufacturing areas, such as the splash
zone in food production plants, place a lot of stress on service unit
components. Cleaning agents and water jets attack the surfaces,
screws and pressure gauges. With this stainless steel protection
box, Festo offers a simple and low-cost solution to securely protect
the compressed air preparation components.

Reliability is the name of the game with the DFM. This impressive guided drive has the best price/performance ratio in the market and offers optimum guide characteristics, sturdiness and flexibility. It is reliable, adaptable and resilient – even with high torques.

Install and save:
In applications where chips or dust need to be removed or parts need to be dried and transported, the 2x 3/2-way solenoid valve VSVA with pulse function is a great asset. Not only does it reduce energy consumption, it also saves compressed air during pauses. When used as an air blast valve, the blast pulse is stronger than with a continuous air flow. This pays off within a very short time.
