Superconductor technology enables the contactless movement and handling of objects – ideal for high-tech industries such as laboratory automation or biotechnology. At the Hannover Messe, Festo presents a concept for the fully automated filling and weighing of freeze-dry containers in cleanrooms. Thanks to SupraMotion levitation modules and products from the Festo automation portfolio for laboratory applications, the highest standards of ...

With the SupraCube, Festo is presenting for the first time a SupraMotion concept in which the superconductor unit can be separated from the electrical cooler and can operate autonomously for up to two hours. The compact technology allows contactless movement and handling of objects - ideal for industries with the highest requirements for cleaning and cleanliness, such as laboratory automation, biotechnology or semiconductor production.

The requirements placed on the cleaning of production facilities and their purity are increasing – particularly in future-oriented fields such as medical technology, laboratory automation or biotechnology. Thanks to superconductor technology, these demands could easily be fulfilled in future. At the Hannover Messe 2019 trade fair, Festo is once more showcasing two new concepts in this field: with the SupraMultitool, ...
