Wood - natural raw material with versatile requirements
The production processes in the woodworking and wood processing industry are as versatile as the natural raw material wood. The range extends from entry-level to high-end machines; from individual "batch size 1" production to mass production. They all have one thing in common: they have to produce extremely cost-effectively.
With us you will find solutions tailored to the needs of the wood industry:
Ever thought about using artificial intelligence?
Machines that only stop when you want them to. Production processes that optimize themselves and thus run more stably. Sounds too good to be true? Not if you make decisions based on facts created using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
With Festo Automation Experience, we bring you up to speed for preventive maintenance or even the optimization and stabilization of your production processes.
Pneumatic drives for the wood industry
Our drives are robust, attractively priced and safe solutions. Most feature self-adjusting cushioning PPS, which saves you around five minutes of setup time. In addition, there are matching proximity sensors, connecting components and tubing as well as fittings – including fully assembled into a complete unit.
Valve technology for the wood industry
A valve terminal offers an efficient means of integrating pneumatic valves and electrical peripherals. The shared power supply and control system require less tubing and fewer cables and are therefore much easier and quicker to install. We invented the valve terminal in 1989 and have continuously made it more economical and flexible ever since. This has included electrical inputs and outputs, safety technology, control protocols, diagnostics and condition monitoring as well as application-optimized and customer-specific valve terminals.

Service units for the wood industry
Increase the service life of your components and systems and thus reduce unnecessary machine failures and downtimes. Our MS series service unit component combinations with their unique mix of sizes enable optimum flow rates with smaller sizes and lower costs. Available in pneumatic or electric versions, they prevent leakage and offer reliable stop and start functions. Concentrated Festo expertise is evident in every detail and is a direct result of our integrated thinking.
Electric drives for the wood industry
The range of servo motors and servo controllers is specially designed for our toothed belt axes and ball screw axes as well as for our electric cylinders – perfectly combined with engineering software and enhanced with complete safety solutions for mechanical and drive systems. Innovative software tools for engineering and configuration together with our automation platform and other integrated motion control solutions provide a virtually unlimited spectrum of solutions for industrial automation tasks: from complete positioning systems to entire handling systems. Incidentally, they are also available in electric versions or a combination of the two.
