Festo presenta la nuova famiglia di assi ELGD, una soluzione all’avanguardia nel campo della tecnologia di guida lineare, caratterizzata da elevata rigidità e capacità di carico, che consente di aumentare la portata utile mantenendo lo stesso ingombro di installazione. Componenti di azionamento potenti garantiscono forze di avanzamento elevate e accelerazioni rapide, riducendo i tempi di ciclo e assicurando una lunga durata operativa. Una speciale copertura esterna in acciaio inox, priva di attrito, impedisce la formazione di particelle,...

Bij de automatisering van het sorteren en verpakken van fruit wordt een hoge capaciteit nagestreefd terwijl de machines ook met de nodige omzichtigheid moeten omgaan met de delicaatheid van de producten. STAS, een machinebouwer uit Glabbeek die gespecialiseerd is in dergelijke oplossingen, heeft samen met Festo een nieuwe geavanceerde machine ontwikkeld om het fruit na het sorteren op een gecontroleerde manier in bakjes te leggen.

Wherever inert gases need to be precisely controlled, the mass flow controller VEFC from Festo is the right choice. Thanks to piezo technology, it is compact and flexible, and offers an excellent price/performance ratio. It is especially suitable for use in electronics manufacturing, food production, and anywhere in machine building where shielding gas is required.

Festo is expanding its portfolio to include multilayer manifolds made of plastic (bonded manifolds) in order to be able to offer manufacturers of medical and laboratory equipment solutions from a single source. To this end, Festo is taking over the production systems and processes for manufacturing these complex plastic manifolds from Carville, a leading company in this field.
