Lightning-fast tool change, loading and unloading in next to no time, complex machining in just one operating cycle - you have probably heard users request these characteristics many times. The tailored automation solutions from Festo will help you to implement them. For example with handling systems that compress loading and unloading into a single operating step. Here you can find out how we can develop the optimum machine concept with you - including rapid prototyping and FEM.
The benefits to you of suitable air preparation:
Due to 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 unit, 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.
Our products ensure the air is right:
Customized products for different environments:
Our new generation of axes will inspire innovative ideas:
You can combine electric and pneumatic products to get the most efficient and cost-effective solution for your loading and unloading tasks. Using our modules, you can design a complete handling system easily and cost-effectively. This will save you development time which will benefit your core business. Make the most of different technologies (toothed belt, spindle or rack and pinion axis) and various stroke lengths (up to 10 meters for the horizontal axis and 2.5 meters for the vertical axis). By using the best material for belts or seals, you will get a sturdy and reliable system that is optimally suited for the ambient conditions of your application.
Media valves and automation technology from a single source
You can combine both of these procurement processes and use just one interface for ordering as well as for invoicing and logistics processes. We will find the optimum solution for your requirements in terms of valve technology, the switching frequency required, the pressure range or sealing material.
Products for the cooling, lubrication and cleaning circuit
Make configuration easier with the online configurator for process valves. You can use our configurator to combine a ball valve unit and a butterfly valve unit.
A large product portfolio, from simple servo-lite technologies to brushless technologies with extended integrated safety functions for safety doors
The dynamics of doors, hatches and flaps are increased significantly due to the specially developed PPK control block. Normally opening and closing times are halved in comparison to conventional controls.
Features and benefits:
Reduce the size of your electric drive system by transforming vertical movements into horizontal movements and thus compensate for the weight of the load being moved.
The effect:
Increase your process reliability with our SOPA sensors.
Every time raw material is clamped in the machine, contamination or splinters could prevent it from being correctly positioned or aligned. Our SOPA sensors will prevent such errors.
Our products will ensure:
These tools will help you to select the correct gripper or vacuum system
Moving, rotating or gripping: with our handling technology, you will expand your storage system and will always have the right tool at your fingertips.
