Compact, customised manifold plates for precise fluid control: Diffusion Bonded Manifolds enable individualised, contamination-free fluidic solutions using an adhesive-free joining process. The technology complements existing standard components and is aimed in particular at applications in medical technology, diagnostics, laboratory automation and food analysis.

Highly flexible and modular production plants with decentralised automation enable the process industry to react to fluctuations in demand. This is the case in water treatment, in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical and food industries and also in energy generation. Decentralised controllers from Festo are perfect for this. Festo developed the PA-Toolkit for programming these controllers to enable simple application engineering in line with the “Module Type Package” (MTP) from Namur and ZVEI.

The new VEMD proportional flow control valve from Festo uses the latest piezo technology to deliver highly dynamic control for numerous medical and other industrial control applications.
