At SEMICON Europe 2026, Festo will demonstrate how wafers can be moved efficiently, precisely and reliably through the semiconductor manufacturing process. A networked demonstration system illustrates the complete workflow, from the FOUP through wafer alignment to further processing in wet chemical or vacuum-based applications.

By combining the EPRF electric cylinder and the EMMH servomotor, both made of stainless steel, Festo now offers a high-performance electric drive solution for the food, packaging and pharmaceutical industries. Together with the appropriate motor cable, the motor, cable and drive form a fully coordinated, complete hygienic design solution from a single source.

The number of vehicles with electric drives worldwide is forecast to grow by around 30% per year until 2030. At the same time, the production processes for the electrified powertrain are changing. While semi-automated production processes have dominated traditional automotive manufacturing with combustion engines up to now, the manufacture of battery cells and electric motors is increasingly developing into fully automated production processes. As a leading manufacturer of automation technology, Festo has the right solutions for this along the...

With the blister packaging machine from IWK, sustainability is not just lip service: with recyclable packaging material, low energy consumption, high speed and ergonomics, the CABLIblue 870 card-to-card blister system is proving to be a real trendsetter. The use of electrical automation technology from Festo increases sustainability and efficiency immensely in this application.
