Rapid leaps in innovation characterise the development of additive manufacturing processes. Rotterdam-based company Concr3de has been working on a 3D printer for stone for more than five years, developing an inkjet technique to participate in the reconstruction of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. They achieved this aim using automation technology from Festo.

Il futuro appartiene alla cooperazione uomo-robot. Il costruttore di sistemi BEC ha sviluppato una soluzione collaborativa per Siemens Healthineers. Inserisce con precisione bobine del peso di diverse tonnellate nei magneti delle macchine per risonanza magnetica (MRI). I cilindri elettrici Festo, che assicurano una presa sicura delle bobine, svolgono un ruolo cruciale in questo caso.

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.
