With the PA-Toolkit from Festo, implementing the automation logic of process engineering units and modules is really intuitive. You can also use the library for CODESYS to program applications without the need for more in-depth programming expertise. This is ideal for automating modular systems according to the MTP standard, which requires a separate controller for each system module.

Smartenance lets you schedule autonomous maintenance tasks, report faults on the move and document your measures. Use the Smartenance app on your smartphone and tablet to perform maintenance tasks on the machine, and the Smartenance web app to manage the tasks on a PC.

Festo Dashboards provides you with process transparency and status information over the entire lifecycle of your system. You can see at a glance the asset data, specific information for preventive maintenance, diagnostic functions and errors in plain text. This makes process data analysis and troubleshooting easier.

With the cloud-based web application Projects, you can centrally manage all your machine and system components as well as their lifecycle! Your assets are organised intuitively and clearly according to the relationships between control system, fieldbus and components. Projects facilitates collaboration across departments and company boundaries as you can simply invite other participants to your project via e-mail.

Put your trust in a partner who has been setting technological standards for decades. Whether in pneumatic or electric automation. And don't expect anything less than a complete package, from mechanical systems to integrated motion control solutions and subsystems.

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.

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.
