Products from the core product range from Festo make it easy for you to increase the productivity of your textile machines. Whether the need is for spinning, stretch texturing, weaving, round knitting, flat knitting or textile finishing – Festo offers the right product for your application.

The world of bulk material handling seems easy at first glance: moving, filling, delivering. The art of dealing with a variety of different materials, however, lies in the details, such as the docking and undocking of containers at weighing stations. In the process, crosscontaminations

and the release of dusts can occur. AZO CleanDock prevents this

problem. Its latest generation can do even more: it “thinks” for itself. Directly attached to the dock, the integrated controller CEC of the modular electrical terminal CPX from Festo ensures additional process security and shortened commissioning times.

The VTSA is ideal for maximum pneumatic and electrical function integration. Especially innovative is the mix of 5 valve sizes on one valve terminal, without the need for an adapter plate up to size 2! The VTSA is fully compliant with ISO 15407-2 and ISO 5599-2 – yet is easy to integrate. It can be used as a complete installation solution for large-scale machine concepts. And is also available as a fl ow-optimised version VTSA-F.

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.

In 5 minutes to Festo valve! The valve series at a glance:

From individual valves to automation platforms.

Our multi-part static system presentation comprehensively shows

• how Festo products can be connected to and integrated in various fieldbus and Ethernet protocols around the world

• how the communication hierarchies are related to one another

• and which networking and installation concepts Festo supports: for fluid and motion control for factory and process automation (FA/PA)

Making automation systems more productive – not a problem with our star products, every single one shines it its own field: cylinders, drives, valves, sensors, accessories, tubing and fittings and ser vice units.They are cost-effective, work together perfectly and are guaranteed to drive your machinery’s productivity.

Individual valves or valve terminals – which is the most suitable option for actuating pneumatically automated process valves? What are the technological and economic differences between the two? We will use a cost comparison to compare and contrast the two options. And what are the differences in terms of commissioning? Which diagnostic options are available with valve terminals for reducing unscheduled downtime? These are the questions that will be examined in this article.

Maximum function integration, many electrical connection options,

multi-pin plug, Festo I-Port, fi eldbus and a comprehensive diagnostics concept: that is the MPA. And it is extremely compact and has the latest valve technology.

• New: MPA-C – hygienic
• MPA-L – highly modular
• MPA-S – communicative and with many functions

Previously being our Focus Product brochure, Festo North America presents our Key Products for North America brochure.  This brochure stars our key product for the year pertinent to the North American Region.

It was inspired by nature. Nature has come up with a solution with

which very different objects of prey can be grasped using just a single

principle. This principle can now also be used on your factory

floor and for your applications.

Increasing our customers’ productivity is a clear objective of Festo as

a company. You told us where your pinch points are. As a solution

to meet your requirements, we have developed the space-optimised

twin cylinder DGTZ.

When space is tight, when saving every gram counts and when only

the most essential features are required, the ADN-...C is the perfect

fit. Its sturdy design to ISO and more than 350 variants in a wide

range of sizes, lengths and cushioning options make it an extremely

attractive option for many applications.

ISO standards-based DSNU or the smaller and even slimmer DSNU-S?

The round cylinder DSNU is always a solid choice when it comes

to performance and compact dimensions. Its universal variants make

it ideal in applications where low friction, chemical resistance or

corrosion resistance are required.

With this issue of Highlights 2020, you are holding a kind of compass

in your hand. It will show you where the path with Festo might take

you this year.

You will see the first results in our core product range. Numerous new

components like the mini slide DGST or the compact cylinder ADN-S

are useful additions to the portfolio.

A central theme for us is connectivity at all possible levels:

mechanical, electrical and software.

From 100 to zero in the shortest possible time thanks to the operating

mode of this holding brake, which enables braking procedures

especially for safety applications. As soon as a signal is received,

the through piston rod comes to a halt, despite the load and full

speed.

The first proximity switch with automatic switching point setting

makes commissioning easier than ever before. With its detection

range of 20 mm, it is easy and reliable to install, especially in appli

cations

where mounting is difficult. SDBT-MSX is ideal for all standard

applications, especially in factory automation and the electronics

industry/small parts handling.
