The industrial, trade and construction sectors have been using the SCHUKO plug, invented by ABL in 1925, for almost 100 years. The company can now produce more than 100 versions of SCHUKO plugs and couplings quickly and flexibly on a new assembly system supplied by special machine builder AS Automation. This is also made possible by the highly flexible Multi-Carrier-System MCS® as well as numerous other electric and pneumatic automation products ...

Festo is now making it even easier for its users: the 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 brings flexibility and openness - true to the motto "Open Architecture".

Eichenberger successfully held its own against local Chinese manufacturers in the planning of the new Festo gripper due to outstanding quality (5000% more operational performance in the endurance test), production from a single source, years of expertise and close cooperation throughout the development process from start to finish.   

Seeds are the new gold. Why is that? Plant-based foods can feed an ever-growing world population. But climate change, pests and diseases threaten plant breeding. To help develop resistant seeds and make them available to agriculture, plant breeders need vast amounts of DNA. That is precisely why Synchron Lab has developed the "DNA factory", which is automated with handling gantries, electric axes, pneumatic grippers and sensors from Festo.

Higher demands on throughput and precision – this is only possible with more automation in laboratory technology. Sensapex already equips more than 800 customers worldwide with high-precision micromanipulators, microscopes, and pressure controllers – from neuroscience research to in vitro fertilization (IVF) – to name only a few application examples. To work successfully the pressure controllers from Sensapex rely on the decentralized ...

Ya sea en respiradores artificiales portátiles, biorreactores o para la dosificación de gases inertes, la válvula reguladora de caudal proporcional VEMD de Festo ofrece la máxima dinámica de regulación y cuesta mucho menos que otras soluciones comparables para la regulación de aire, oxígeno y gases inertes.

Dosificar, aspirar y controlar cantidades mínimas de líquidos y gases agresivos no es ningún problema con la válvula con separación de fluidos VYKA de Festo. La compacta unidad de alimentación mide y aspira con precisión las cantidades más pequeñas de líquido con una anchura de sólo 7 mm. Cumple los elevados requisitos de estanqueidad exigidos para las aplicaciones de gas.

Apertura de recipientes de muestras y pipeteo de muestras líquidas en el mismo espacio de trabajo, lo que ahorra espacio en el laboratorio. Esto es posible gracias al nuevo pórtico multieje EXCL de Festo, de reducidas dimensiones, para dispositivos de sobremesa y control de movimiento basado en PCB.

Cuando se trata de sujetar y girar pequeños objetos en un espacio muy reducido, la mejor opción en muchas aplicaciones de ciencias de la vida es el módulo de sujeción giratorio compacto EHMD de Festo.
