Innovative guide technology, high rigidity and guide load capacity for more load in the same installation space - these are the features of the new ELGD axis family from Festo. In addition, powerful drive elements offer high feed forces and accelerations for shorter cycle times and a long service life. A stainless steel cover strip is friction-free on the outside and does not allow any particles to form there. This makes the drives in the axis family ideal for use in cleanrooms.

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 convertible valve terminal VTUX. In addition, the AP-I and AP-A communication system creates the ideal platform for digitalized production. This provides flexibility, enables open architectures and the seamless integration of electrical and pneumatic automation.

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.

Today, every machine must be analyzable in a standardized 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.
