Festo created a new solution for high throughput dry-room electrode assembly of EV batteries.

Festo, a global leader in industrial automation controls and systems and industrial training systems, announced today the launch of a clean energy project at its North American Regional Service Center along I-71. Roof-mounted solar panels will supply 48% of the facility’s electricity requirements – 2.6 million kilowatt hours (kWh) – after completion of the project, which is slated for next year. One of Ohio’s leading solar power ...

Festo has created a seamless product environment for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) designing servo-motion solutions for electronic light assembly, packaging, automated laboratory devices, pharma tablet handling, cannabis processing, conveying, and more.

The company’s new Certified System Integrator Program will match an end user with highly skilled system integrators, providing the validated know-how and expertise to turn the aspirational into the realizable.

There are indeed rewards for machine builders who sweat the small stuff. The latest iterations of many tiny but essential components like sensors, cameras and switches can pack a great deal of innovation for their diminutive size. 

Festo introduces a heavy-duty Cartesian gantry for palletizing with lift capacity of up to 440 pounds, Z-axis stroke lengths exceeding eight feet, and speed of up to five feet per second. With free online design tools; off-the-shelf servo drives, motors, and other components; and quick assembly kits, this Festo palletizing solution shortens project time and reduces engineering and assembly costs.

Festo introduces the company’s comprehensive selection of electric and pneumatic components for intralogistics motion automation – pushing and sorting, gripping and picking, and lifting and conveying.

From recently completed production lines, Festo introduces the DHPL, a new generation of competitively priced long-stroke grippers that offers a host of advantages for high load and torque applications. The DHPL is interchangeable with competitive long-stroke grippers. It provides the added benefits of lighter weight, higher precision, and no maintenance. The new long-stroke gripper is ideal for stacking boxes, gripping plates and shaped parts, and ...

From recently completed production lines, Festo introduces the HPPF, an innovative flat parallel gripper that ranges in height from 19 mm to 41 mm among its four sizes: 8, 12, 16, and 20. The stroke ranges from a narrow 8 mm to a wide 80 mm, and gripping forces span from 60 N to 377 N. HPPF flat parallel grippers are ideal in space-constrained applications for small parts and electronics assembly, including batteries due to low copper, zinc, and nickel ...

From recently completed production lines, Festo introduces a new generation of competitively priced compact grippers that offer a host of advantages for precision electronics and small part assembly. The DHPC parallel gripper offers ≤ 0.01 mm repetition accuracy, while the DHWC angle and DHRC radial gripper variants offer ≤ 0.2 mm accuracy. The DHPC, DHWC, and DHRC are interchangeable with competitive grippers. They provide the added benefits of ...

The Festo Power Up initiative for food and beverage machine builders aims to spur the efficient adoption of electric automation and in the process support the development of the next generation of compact, flexible, energy efficient, and data-rich machines.

Festo introduces the CMMT MP family of multi-protocol servo drives. Every drive in this family is configurable as EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP. Using this single-family multi-protocol strategy, machine builders supporting multiple communications protocols can reduce servo-drive inventories. A unified drive family improves engineering productivity through familiarity with a single platform, simplifies tech support, and gains a robust ...

With the recent introduction of its distributed I/O solution CPX-AP-A, along with its established CPX-AP-I decentralized I/O, Festo now offers a range of electric and pneumatic automation solutions that is unmatched in North America in terms of performance, flexibility, cost savings, and engineering productivity. AP stands for Automation Platform and this backplane-based remote I/O system has been in development for a decade.

Festo launches MS-Basic, a family of pneumatic service units in polymer housings that offer attractively priced components covering most application needs.

Festo today laid the first stone of its new plant with three construction phases, which will gradually generate 1,500 new jobs. Construction of the plant, which will be ready in 2025, will require an investment of $100 million dollars.
