The simplicity of pneumatics is now combined for the first time with the advantages of electric automation thanks to the Simplified Motion Series. These integrated drives are the perfect solution for all users who are looking for an electric alternative for very simple movement tasks, but don't want the commissioning process for traditional electric drive systems that can often be quite complex.
There is no need for any software since operation is simply based on the "plug and work" principle. Digital I/O (DIO) and IO-Link® are always automatically included – a product with two types of control as standard.

A perfect fit of controllers, servo drives and mechanics – thanks
to quick configuration with PositioningDrives and commissioning with just a few clicks with the Festo Automation Suite.

Electric alternatives for simple movements
Movement between 2 end positions
Flexible intermediate position (with IO-Link)
Pressing/clamping applications possible
Digital I/O for simple control and feedback
IO-Link control for added value functionality

The advent of digital pneumatics promises to change how machines and processes are designed and managed throughout the industrial world. It’s a technological disrupter with exciting potential applications in oil and gas exploration and production.

Installation and control concepts are influencing each other more than ever before, especially as we move towards Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT). It is only through effective interaction between these architectures that modular, flexible and adaptable production concepts with decentralised intelligence, pre-processing, autonomous machines or subsystems, cyber-physical systems – in other words, smart factories – will be successful.

RSC Mason obtained certification under the ISO 13485:2016 standard on January 24, 2023. This standard sets forth the requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS) in the design and manufacturing of medical devices. To achieve certification, an organization's QMS must successfully pass a third-party Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP) Audit. This certification ensures that Festo can consistently provide medical devices and related services that meet both customer expectations and any relevant regulatory requirements, by demonstrating its ability to implement a QMS. Ultimately, the goal is to generate qualified leads from customers who require products for the production of medical devices.
