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.

Electromobility is on a growth course worldwide. It’s not just the streetscape that’s changing, the automotive industry markets are also undergoing a fundamental change. Corporations globally are investing heavily in battery production. Modern automation solutions play a leading role in this change.

The trend for electric vehicles is clear. However, their success depends on high-performance and cost-effective batteries. In the UK, the pilot project AMPLiFII at WMG is laying the foundations of a new generation of traction batteries. The project includes innovative automation technology from Horizon Instruments with a Festo pick and place solution.

Handling, assembling and testing small parts are at the heart of the electronics industry. Festo has a wide variety of solutions and products for these applications, whether pneumatic, electric or a combination of both. And all that at a fair price.

For applications where compact dimensions are essential, these

axes can be combined into very space-saving handling systems

that fit seamlessly into assembly systems, testing and inspection

systems, small parts handling units, desk top applications and in

the electronics industry. The low-cost linear axes ELGC and the mini

slides EGSC offer an optimal ratio between installation space and

working space. They feature a common system approach, platform

architecture and, last but not least, adapterless connections.

Small, compact and have high flow rates. They are available

in individual valves and fieldbus-compatible valve terminals. Ideal

for all price-sensitive applications.

Joining and press-fitting are key processes in the production of goods, and an important area in factory automation. That is why we are now also offering self-contained systems in this field. We have many years of experience as a partner in the design and production of handling systems and drive solutions as well as expertise in processes. This enables us to offer exactly the right solution for your joining and press-fitting application

From battery cells and battery modules to installation in electric vehicles, we have the ideal automation solution for every production situation. See for yourself!

The modular servo press kit YJKP gives you just the software functions you need for your application. It provides you with an excellent price/performance ratio for your extremely precise press-fitting system with its high level of repetition accuracy. Simple, cost-effective and quick to install.

With the innovative Multi-Carrier-System MCS, a joint development by Festo and Siemens, you are on the right track. The modular transport system can be integrated as appropriate into existing intralogistics and thus complement and in some cases replace classic transport solutions.

CPX is ideal as automation platform, valve terminal partner or remote I/O - it is electric, open and direct. It is also the perfect platform for electrical peripherals. With CPX, you can integrate pneumatic and electrical control chains easily, quickly, flexibly and seamlessly into all automation concepts and company-specific standards.

Whether in the electronics industry, desktop applications, assembly systems, small parts handling or test and inspection systems, the low-cost and compact mini slide EGSC is the first choice when it comes to compact dimensions and optimised installation space. It is the ideal complement to the rotary drive ERMO and the linear axis ELGC in highly efficient 2D and 3D handling systems.

When it comes to compact dimensions and optimised installation space, the low-cost axis series ELGC is ideal. These features are a clear advantage in assembly systems, test and inspection systems, small parts handling, the electronics industry and desktop applications. The spindle and toothed belt axes are suitable for all horizontal and vertical movements, and are the perfect complement to the guide axis ELFC or the mini slide EGSC.

Modular and scalable automation concept for connector assembly

This white paper provides you with answers to the following questions:

• How does piezo technology work, what is the principle behind it?
• What advantages does piezo technology offer?
• In which industry sectors and for which applications are piezo valves the technology of the future?
• Introduction to several versions of piezo valves

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.

Fully automated production line for dispensing processes when manufacturing electronic components

Many of Festo’s products are inherently free of copper. For example guides are made essentially of polymer. In order to be able to offer customers who manufacture lithium-ion batteries as many components as possible from our product range, we have optimised products specifically for use in this field – and we have replaced parts that contain copper with copper-free elements.
