The dispense head VTOI significantly increases your throughput,

while at the same time reducing the number of valves you need.

Whether you want to equip your respirator, your anaesthetic device or need connection elements for your oxygen circuits – NPQO fittings and connectors are your solution! By fulfilling cleanliness and biocompatibility requirements according relevant standards, NPQO suits perfectly to your anaesthetic and respiratory applications.

Its size makes it ideal in tight spaces and it comes complete with vacuum functions. It is used in medical devices as well as for liquid handling in laboratory automation.

In mobile applications, e.g. portable oxygen generators, the emphasis is on minimal energy consumption and low weight. At the same time devices should offer high reliability and resistance to the stresses of everyday operation. Piezo technology is one of several key technologies offered by Festo.

ELGA – the perfect solution whenever you need a protected guide.

The complete series of linear axes with internal guides comes

in many variants with toothed belt or spindle drive for impressive

dynamic response, speed and power, while the different guides

ensure it can be used in a multitude of applications. The ELGA is

available as an individual axis or as a complete solution for

standard handling systems.

Transporting samples, identifying and qualifying, pipetting and dispensing fluids or equipping centrifuges, with customised automation concepts from Festo you can significantly boost your productivity and safety in each step of the analysis process.

The Dutch company Synchron Lab Automation developed an automated DNA extraction system with very high throughput rates by working very closely together with Festo. As a result, customers in the seed industry can collect DNA from up to 40,000 samples per day.

Get ready for market launches faster by working together to develop ready-to-install automation solutions for lab-on-a-chip devices to analyse patient samples on site at doctors’ practices. The high industrial quality standard of the individual components is of course guaranteed.

Many concepts from the past have been overtaken by the fourth industrial revolution: business models, partnerships, customer interfaces, value chains, and even the traditional automation pyramid – all are undergoing huge change. As an innovator and trendsetter in fieldbus technology, Festo will make a major contribution to reshaping the future with new concepts for Industry 4.0.

Festo takes an individual approach to your sample and liquid handling requirements. That gives you the freedom to focus completely on developing innovations for your devices in analytics, laboratory automation and in-vitro diagnostics.

From 13 to 16 November the Compamed will take place in Düsseldorf. The forum for high-tech medicine networks experts from research, science and industry in one place. We will be there this year in hall 8A / stand J31!

Transporting, identifying, opening, and closing sample vials, pipetting, dispensing and aspirating liquids – with Festo, you can automate and customize your entire liquid and sample handling process. Based on our extensive automation know-how, we integrate all the steps into subsystems with the appropriate kinematics.

Machine vision systems from Festo make a decisive contribution to ensuring that the input and output are right. They monitor and stabilise processes, whether they’re reading codes or detecting positions for handling tasks. In some cases they even control the process itself. And they inspect quality from when the goods come in to when they are finished.

That makes your work easier. It makes your machines and systems more productive and flexible. And it further optimises the use of materials.

Laboratories in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food technology industries are increasingly relying on automation for sample preparation. The Modular Sample Processor, a development from the global laboratory equipment manufacturer Anton Paar, is one such solution.

The DNA extraction robot combines high sample throughput numbers with high-quality standardised DNA purification and thus relieves highly-qualified personnel of the need to carry out routine activities. Part of the solution is a handling system based on electric axes, motors and controllers from Festo.

To help future dentists and dental assistants deal with children during dental treatments, the Japanese company tmsuk has developed a humanoid robot that realistically simulates the behaviour of young children during these treatments, complete with fidgeting, flinching or closing the mouth. The dummy’s realistic movements are produced using proportional pressure regulators with piezo technology.
