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.

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.

Check to see which products from the series MS y D would be best for your system. In the table you will find recommendations from Festo’s experts based on the limit values specified in ISO 8573-1:2010.

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.

Anyone who wants to improve process reliability through increased machine availability must start at the very beginning – and first analyse the compressed air supply in detail. Particles, water and oil are the natural enemies of prepared

compressed air. They have an adverse effect on the components and cost additional energy.

Great care must always be taken when compressed air comes into contact with food, because compressed air is not clean by nature.   On the contrary, solids and particles are present almost everywhere in the form of dust in various concentrations. Water, in the form of natural atmospheric humidity, is released in large quantities when the compressed air cools down. And thus compressed air quality in accordance with the requirements of the respective application provides best possible safety for foods, consumers and food producers.

- Compressed air preparation and compressed air quality classes

- Filter cascades for typical applications
