In no other industry is there such pressure to innovate and keep prices low as in the semiconductor and electronics industry. On top of this, reliable compact and cost-efficient automation components are also needed.  

The valve control module VAEM from Festo makes precise switching of solenoid valves easier than ever.

Safe and precise control of gases with the proportional valve VPWS from Festo.

CPX-E and valve terminals VTUG with IO-Link control the system.

Electric axes EGC in combination with an electric slide EGSL position the pipetting head for DNA extraction.  

An electric slide EGSC moves the pipetting head down to add liquid to the microwell plates at several washing stations.

The VAEM valve control module with holding current reduction is ideal for controlling dosing heads.  

Contactless dispensing of very small volumes: the 8-channel dispense head VTOE is a configurable complete solution comprising manifold duct plate, dosing valves and nozzles.

Based on the layout of the microfluidic chip, Festo develops the appropriate valve block for the point-of-care application.
