In addition, the key to a carbon-neutral future is to look at and assess ...

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.

Handling the smallest amounts of liquids down to the microlitre range requires high levels of precision and flexibility because of the changing fluid properties of the different media. Pressure-controlled liquid handling systems enable precise, scalable liquid handling. Festo has suitable solutions for these systems, whether for pipetting, dispensing or aspirating. Individual modules are available, such as the smart pipette head DHOP, but as well the ...

Portugal, este ano o País-Parceiro da Hannover Messe, é o campeão mundial em rolhas de cortiça: com a maior área de sobreiros, os portugueses também são os maiores exportadores de cortiça do mundo.   Mesmo a cortiça sendo leve, torna-se um material muito volumoso se for embalado de forma ineficiente. Para poupar energia e reduzir as emissões de CO2 durante o transporte, o ...

The pneumatic extension modules VTOP from Festo enable custom closed-loop control solution designs in combination with a positioner, all without any external piping and the leaks associated with it. Compared with conventional solutions, cost savings of up to 30% are possible with the VTOP. And installation takes just a fraction of the time.

The number of vehicles with electric powertrains is growing globally by more than 40% each year. At the same time, the manufacturing processes for the electrified powertrain are changing. While the classic manufacturing process for cars with internal combustion engines was predominantly based on semi-automatic production methods, both battery cells and electric motors are increasingly produced fully automatically. As a leading manufacturer of ...

When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, protective equipment was in short supply. Nursing staff didn’t have enough face masks, protective goggles, full-body protective suits, or hygienic disposable rubber gloves. To overcome at least the shortage of  gloves, AFA Technologies offers packaging machines and automated systems for quality control. The Malaysian company relies on pneumatic valve technology from Festo for its machines.
