Its ability to move high payloads of up to 200 kg extremely dynamically, precisely and easily makes the EHMH very suitable for handling systems. It can be used, for example, for palletising and stacking in the packaging and automotive industries or unloading and loading machine tools. The rack and pinion technology contributes to its long service life.

People who continuously move loads need technical and ergonomic support. With servo-pneumatic balancers, heavy loads can be moved at the touch of a finger. At the heart of the balancer is Festo’s safe and powerful drive solution YHBP. It offers extremely fast, automatic weight detection and safety up to Performance Level d, perfect for the automotive, electronics, food and packaging industries.

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.

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.

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.

With the innovative Multi-Carrier-System MCS®, a joint development by Festo and Siemens, you are on the right track. Thanks to the modular design of the transport system, it can be combined with conventional transport solutions, adding the functionality of the MCS® where needed in the process.

The measure of a system’s value creation is its overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). This is determined by three factors: Availability – Performance – Quality

Looking at overall equipment effectiveness provides a clear indication of whether you can maximise productivity and thus make system operation even more economical.
