Simple Electric Automation Solution
The Simplified Motion Series combines the ease of pneumatics with the performance of electric automation—ideal for basic motion, sorting, lifting, or transfer tasks. Each unit integrates the actuator, motor, and controller in one compact package, eliminating external drives or control cabinets.
Key advantages:
- Fast commissioning with on-device parameter setting—no software required
- Smooth, repeatable motion between end positions
- Operates via digital I/O or IO-Link for extended functionality
- Energy-efficient electric actuation with built-in cushioning
- Compact designs for space-saving integration
Perfect for:
Simple handling tasks, pick-and-place, indexing, loading/unloading, small-part transfer, and packaging workflows.
End of Arm Tooling
Festo’s gripping and vacuum technologies provide fast, secure handling for cartons, bags, trays, sheets, and irregularly shaped components. From decentralized vacuum generation to adaptive grippers, these solutions deliver high performance with low air consumption.
Key advantages:
- Flexible gripping for porous, rigid, or delicate materials
- Efficient vacuum generation with compact ejectors and smart monitoring options
- Secure, high-speed handling for pick, place, transfer, and packaging tasks
- Modular designs compatible with a wide range of suction cups, grippers, and EOAT configurations
- Easy integration into conveyors, gantries, cobots, and robotic systems
Perfect for:
Packaging, order fulfillment, palletizing, case handling, bin picking, machine loading, and systems requiring fast, reliable part transfer.
Modular Gantry Handling System
This gantry-based system highlights how electric motion, intelligent control, and modular design come together to create flexible handling solutions. Built on Festo’s CODI architecture, the application demonstrates smooth, coordinated multi-axis movement ideal for packaging and logistics tasks—without the need for a depalletizing module.
The Festo FPAKit gives machine builders and system integrators a turnkey palletizing foundation for deployment in logistics and distribution environments—at roughly the same cost level as entry-level cobot palletizers.
Key advantages:
- Modular gantry structure adaptable to different payloads and reach requirements
- Precise multi-axis coordination for picking, placing, stacking, or layer-building
- Supports a wide range of grippers and vacuum end effectors
- Compact, space-efficient footprint for integration into existing lines
- Integrated control and modern web-based HMI for simple operation and diagnostics
Perfect for:
End-of-line packaging, palletizing, material transfer, order picking, and configurable handling workflows where repeatability and speed are essential.
