Machinebouwers hoeven dankzij de CMMT-ST-MP van Festo niet langer te kiezen tussen een stappenmotor- of servomotorregelaar. Deze nieuwe, ‘extra lage-spanning’, servoregelaar is namelijk geschikt voor  positioneertoepassingen zowel in gesloten  in open regelkring (m.a.w. met of zonder encoder). Omdat servomotorregelaars voorheen alleen closed-loop werden gebruikt, wordt hiermee het gat tussen stappenmotor- en servomotorbesturingen overbrugd. Door de mogelijkheid om de voordelen van beide regelprincipes benutten kan de gebruiker de CMMT-ST...

"The shortage of skilled workers is a challenge for companies in Europe. We need to invest much more in education and training. That is why I propose to make 2023 the European Year of Skills," said EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The highlight of this Year of Skills will be the 8th EuroSkills competition of professions in September in Gdańsk, Poland. Mechatronics is one of the most attractive and promising skills, and it will be held on the MPS, Festo's Modular Production System.

According to estimates, by 2025 some 600,000 tons of used batteries from electric passenger cars need to be recycled. Since batteries are energy storage devices made from valuable raw materials, this inevitably raises the question of sustainability. Festo therefore offers modular automation concepts not only for cell producing, assembling battery modules and packs, and platform integration, but also for disassembling and recycling or separating the materials.

The production of tyres and the production of wafers seem to have absolutely nothing to do with each other. In terms of automation technology, however, they use the same technology: Controlled Pneumatics. That is why Festo has further developed compressed air technology to make pneumatics sustainable, resource-saving and energy-efficient.

Als de coronapandemie ons iets heeft geleerd, dan is het wel dat laboratoria grote behoefte hebben aan een hoge doorvoer van monsters. Zelfs met hooggekwalificeerd laboratoriumpersoneel is het niet meer mogelijk om aan deze vraag te voldoen. Laboratoriumprocessen konden niet langer om de automatisering heen. Daarom heeft het Nederlandse bedrijf MolGen de Pureprep TTR ontwikkeld die 320 patiëntmonsters per uur kan prepareren voor verdere moleculaire verwerking. Ook aan boord: laboratoriumspecifieke automatiseringstechniek van Festo.

Digitalisation and artificial intelligence (AI) are megatrends that can also offer great potential for savings in tyre production. Machine learning algorithms can be implemented in a decentralised manner, for example on the edge, i.e. on the actual module to be monitored. An example is Festo AX. This AI software uses these algorithms to detect anomalies on tyre building machines or in curing presses.
