Festo has extended the capabilities of its Handling Guide Online (HGO) to include 3D cantilever systems in addition to linear, planar surface and 3D handling systems. These improvements mean that design engineers can now plan extremely compact or extremely dynamic Cartesian robots in a matter of minutes using the HGO’s intuitive configuration and ordering software. They can also benefit from the complete documentation package, including circuit ...

These grippers reduce end-effector size, lower cycle time, ensure safety, and offer   new solutions.

Avec HGO, les concepteurs peuvent créer en un temps record le bon système de manipulation Festo, prêt à installer, qu'il s'agisse d'un portique linéaire 2D, d'un portique 3D ou d'un nouveau système en porte-à-faux 3D. Non seulement ils peuvent désormais concevoir des robots cartésiens extrêmement compacts ou extrêmement dynamiques à l'aide de ce ...

New servo technology from Festo is helping Grolsch to put the iconic swing tops on its bottles of lager. The ‘swing-top transfer unit’ was custom-designed by Festo in conjunction with system integrator MCA Linear Motion Robotics and is installed at the Grolsch Enschede plant in The Netherlands.
