Controlled Pneumatics is the rapidly evolving compressed air technology from Festo that is opening new applications for pneumatics. The technology delivers more precision and control than ever, while having the potential to dramatically reduce energy use. This is clearly demonstrated in the VTEP: the first proportional valve terminal on the market, offering high precision, fast response times, and dynamic control.

The new SFAM, from industrial automation specialist Festo, is a pressure and flow sensor combined in one compact unit. Equipped with IO-Link®, the SFAM sensor enables data-driven insights and reduces the number of components required, so system designers and machine builders can save time, space and cost. It also simplifies stocking and provides greater design flexibility.

Seit mehr als 15 Jahren befasst sich das Bionic Learning Network mit der Faszination Fliegen. Neben der technischen Entschlüsselung des Vogelflugs hat das Team zahlreiche weitere Flugobjekte und ihre natürlichen Prinzipien erforscht und technologisch umgesetzt. Mit der BionicBee hat das Bionic Learning Network nun erstmals ein Flugobjekt entwickelt, das in großer Stückzahl und völlig autonom im Schwarm fliegen kann. Ihre erste ...
