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.

At the Hydrogen Technology World Expo 2026, Festo will demonstrate how electrolyzers and hydrogen plants can be automated in a safe, modular, and scalable manner.

At Compamed, Festo will showcase the new CECC-AX controller in a liquid-dispensing application. It combines PLC programming with Python, enabling the flexible implementation of various functions in the smallest of spaces. This makes the controller ideal for use in compact benchtop devices and subsystems—such as in sample preparation, pre-analytics, or the automated handling of liquids and consumables.

Degassing and sealing are core processes in battery cell production that directly follow the initial contacting of the battery cells with electrical voltage. The battery cells are pierced with lances and the forming gas produced during contacting is extracted. Pneumatic and electric actuators from Festo are used to handle and pierce the battery cells.
