Compact, custom distribution plates for precise fluid control: Diffusion bonded manifolds enable tailored, contamination-free fluidic solutions through an adhesive-free joining process. The technology complements existing standard components and is aimed especially at applications in medical technology, diagnostics, laboratory automation and food analysis. 

Festo is now making it even easier for its users: the proven advantages and all the useful functions of the classic valve terminals CPV, MPA-L/S and VTUG are now available under the umbrella of the versatile VTUX valve terminal. In addition, the AP-I and AP-A communication system creates the ideal platform for digitalised production. This provides flexibility, enables open architectures and the seamless integration of electrical and pneumatic automation.

Today, every machine must be analysable in a standardised way - regardless of manufacturer or control system. Festo offers a broad portfolio of software and digital services for this purpose: from hardware-independent applications to device-related functions and apps through to digital twins.

Long and complex engineering, programming and commissioning phases slow down many companies. With Festo AX Controls, Festo presents a real-time automation platform that addresses precisely this issue. It combines control, motion, AI, data integration and predictive maintenance in a flexible, scalable solution - perfectly tailored to the requirements of modern industry.
