Precise motion built for demanding washdown environments
Designed for food, beverage, pharmaceutical and packaging applications, the EMMH-AS stainless steel servo motor delivers precise electric motion in environments that require frequent cleaning. Its IP65K protection and hygienic design help it stand up to demanding production conditions, while integration with the Festo Automation Suite simplifies commissioning and setup.
Hygienic linear motion, made easier to integrate
The EPRF stainless-steel electric cylinder brings electric linear motion to hygienic machine designs. Its clean design, IP65K protection and flexible mounting options make it easier to integrate where space cleanliness and frequent washdowns are key considerations.
Gentle handling that adapts to the product
Delicate products and changing shapes can make automated handling a challenge. The HPSX soft adaptive gripper uses flexible fingers that conform to different shapes and sizes, helping to reduce product damage and the need for tool changes. Its food-safe design also makes it suitable for direct food-contact applications.
Connected automation with the flexibility to adapt
Bring pneumatic and electric automation, remote I/O, controls and digital tools together in one connected system. At PACK EXPO, explore how Festo technologies work across different PLC and network environments, giving you more flexibility when designing, integrating or adapting your machines. From workpiece to the cloud, it’s a connected approach that can help simplify engineering and commissioning.
Less engineering. Faster handling system design.
Configure complete Cartesian handling systems in minutes with Handling Guide Online. Enter your application requirements and the tool helps you select and size the right components, generate CAD data and configure a system that can be delivered ready-to-install.
Combined with Festo gantries, robotics and gripping technologies, it’s a simpler way to move from application requirements to a complete handling system.
Building the workforce behind the automation
As packaging equipment becomes more automated, the people who operate and maintain it need new skills too. Festo Didactic combines hands-on training, digital learning and industry-aligned certifications to help technicians build practical automation skills, troubleshoot equipment and keep production running.
