Products for machine tool manufacturers

High-speed tool changes, loading and unloading in next to no time, complex machining in just one cycle – you’ve probably heard this wish list from users many times before. The tailor-made automation solutions from Festo will help you to tick all the boxes, for instance with handling systems that make loading and unloading into a single task. Find out here how we work with you to develop the optimum machine concept, including rapid prototyping and FEM.

Air preparation and valve technology

The benefits to you of suitable compressed air preparation:

  • Longer service life of your machine tools
  • Fewer machine failures
  • Fewer standstills

With integrated monitoring functions, you will always know the status of the compressed air filters, which will enable you to plan needs-based maintenance.

One specific advantage is that, thanks to the high flow rates and compact dimensions of our service units, you can select one that is one size smaller than normal.

It can be configured for all common applications in line with ISO 8573-1:2010 such as for class (7:4:4) as well as for demanding applications that require extremely pure compressed air, e.g. class (1:4:1) for optical displacement encoders or class (1:2:1) for laser cutting systems.

Highly dynamic control block PPK for doors, hatches or flaps

The specially developed control block PPK significantly improves the dynamics for doors, hatches and flaps. The opening and closing times are typically halved compared to conventional control systems.

Features and benefits:

  • Significant increase in productivity
  • Robust and reliable system
  • No setting or adjustment needed
  • Stable regulation, even with signs of wear
  • Shock-free buffering in the end positions, no bounce
