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,...

A major manufacturer of hard disk drives (HDDs) has achieved ‘lights out’ operation in its production facility using a unique modular automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) featuring Festo robotic handling technology. The ASRS was architected and designed by DPB Automation, with the controls and safety solution designed by RH Electrical Engineering, and software developed by Lumico.

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.

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.
