The ready-to-install analysis case can be used straightaway and includes everything you need for efficiently and flexibly measuring compressed air consumption and flow rates in your system.

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.

The attractively priced pressure sensor SPAN is amazingly flexible

thanks to switchable electrical outputs and a very wide range of options for pressure measurement ranges and pneumatic connections. The compact design of just 30 x 30 mm, the range of variants and the user-friendly menu navigation make the sensor suitable for every kind of application.

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.

The sensor SPAU for pressure measurement, pressure monitoring and pressure sensing keeps pressure levels permanently under control, ensuring more productivity and process reliability. As well as quicker system commissioning.
