La nueva familia de ejes ELGD de Festo se caracteriza por su innovadora tecnología de guiado, su elevada rigidez y su capacidad de carga de guiado para obtener más carga en el mismo espacio de instalación. Además, los potentes elementos de accionamiento ofrecen elevadas fuerzas de avance y aceleraciones para tiempos de ciclo más cortos y una larga vida útil. Una banda de cubierta de acero inoxidable está libre de fricción en el exterior y no permite que se formen partículas en ella. Esto hace que los accionamientos de la familia de ejes sean...

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.

The future belongs to human-robot cooperation. System builder BEC developed such a collaborative solution for Siemens Healthineers. It inserts coils weighing several tonnes precisely into the magnets of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines. Electric cylinders from Festo, which ensure the coils are securely gripped, play a crucial role here.  

Industrial automation specialist Festo has introduced a new cantilever electro-mechanical drive that is designed to meet the demanding specifications of modern production facilities. The new ELGT drive combines precision with high load-bearing capacity and rigidity, which makes it ideal for small parts and Lithium-ion battery manufacturing.
