The new twin-piston semi-rotary drive DRRD combines a high load capacity and accuracy with great economy. Available in several sizes, it delivers the required torque of 0.2 to 112 Nm with comparatively compact dimensions, which makes it significantly less expensive.

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.

Sample application

Milling-turning centres from Stama with integrated automation solution from Festo

Quality inspection of bipolar plates for fuel cells

Extremely rigid and lightweight, fast and reliable, the powerful ELCC cantilever axes can take on many roles. These include palletising and erecting boxes in the packaging industry and a wide range of positioning tasks with long strokes at vertical, horizontal or other installation angles. With a profile that moves in and out of the workspace, the axis can be removed from the working area.

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.

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.

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

Festo offers a wide range of

components for gripping, from

straightforward gripping movements

to components that

enable workpieces to be rotated,

screwed in, as well as for moving

the front-end unit.

Compact and economic automation solutions for SMT, THT process and final assembly.

With SupraMotion 2016, Festo presents three more
superconductive applications and their potential for factory and process
automation.

There are already various technologies for holding objects in position or moving them whilst hovering. With the amazing properties of superconductors, however, completely new applications for the automation sector are conceivable

Systems, solutions and expertise for the automotive and Tier1 supplier industry

Standardised IO-Link technology (IEC 61131-9) makes communication with sensors and actuators simple and economical. The result of an evolutionary development, this low-cost connection technology with three or five conductors achieves point-to-point connection without complex wiring and with minimal material requirements.

Festo offers you a diverse range of handling systems for a multitude of applications, from standard solutions for common applications through

to customised solutions. In addition, our ready-to-install systems, software and support services mean less work for you. We support you from the design stage through to installation and commissioning.

With this issue of Highlights 2019, 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.
