Festo introduces Controlled Pneumatics, a digital closed-loop control strategy for delivering energy efficiency, high dynamic response, and precision movement. Controlled Pneumatics is an ideal solution for web tensioning; welding; surface processing; flexible gripping, including vacuum gripping; dispensing and pumping; PET bottle blowing; and diaphragm pump control.

Festo introduces the VEFC mass flow controller, the company’s latest entry into its Controlled Pneumatics family of solutions. The VEFC features precisely controlled flow of inert gases of up to 200 l/min and is one of the most compact mass flow controllers on the market – only 24 mm wide. Like all Controlled Pneumatics solutions, the VEFC features energy efficient piezoelectric valve technology integrated with control algorithms and ...

Festo introduces its new flagship valve terminal, the VTUX. The VTUX can serve as I/O, remote I/O, and decentralized I/O. These compact and rugged IP65/67-rated terminals can be located anywhere on a machine that boosts operational performance and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) installation productivity. VTUX modularity results in less inventory and lower overhead costs. Slated to replace Festo’s legacy terminals, the VTUX will be the ...

Festo introduces the VTEP, the world’s first proportional valve terminal. The VTEP is an ideal solution for flexible gripping, web tensioning, force-controlled polishing, precision piloting, dispensing, dosing, and diaphragm pump control.
