Customer Case Studies
Maximum pleasure, minimum consumption
Energy-saving measures are a cornerstone of the corporate philosophy of global firm Unilever. Here they explain how they are seeing a signficant reduction in it's compressed air consumption after introducing a new energy efficient module from Festo.
Picking, packing, and palletizing
In addition to cutting-edge robotic and control technology, Transnova Ruf are using pneumatic automation technology and proportional valves from Festo to support design-to-order concept set ups across picking, packing and pattelizing for customers.
Filling and packaging with IO-Link®
Doypack® has been synonymous with practical stand-up pouches for over 50 years. The patent, held by Thimonnier, are increasingly moving towards mechatronics and ultimately Industry 4.0 for the development of its filling and packaging machines.
Festo at RS
By partnering with RS, it enables us to go and visit the customer and identify exactly what their needs are and then provide and end-to-end solution
Compressed Air Preparation
Pneumatic regulators, also known as pressure-reducing valves, are used in pneumatic systems to maintain the output air pressure.
Pneumatic Air Hoses
Air hoses also called air line or pneumatic tubing are flexible tubes designed to transfer air and other gases under pressure from one location to another.
Air Reservoir
Made with high-quality materials, these air reservoirs offer excellent corrosion resistance and durability. With a wide range of sizes available, Festo CRVZS reservoirs provide a reliable and efficient solution for compressed air storage in pneumatic systems.
Pneumatic Fittings
Wide range of Festos expertly designed air fittings for reliably connecting pneumatic tubing. Festo have worked hard to develop tubings and fittings, ensuring their application-specific tubing/fitting combinations are optimally coordinated.
Flow Control Valves
Designed with advanced technology, these one-way flow control valves offer exceptional accuracy and precise management of pneumatic flow rates. Whether you need to regulate the flow for speed control or maintain consistent pressure, VFOE valves ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
Pneumatic solenoid pilot valves
This universal valve offers excellent flexibility with various options for mounting, voltage, and function. With superior performance and durability, Festo VUVG solenoid valves can handle high-speed operations, corrosive environments, and frequent switching cycles
Process Valve
Combining compact size with high flow rates, these innovative pinch valves offer high precision and efficiency. With VZQA valves, you can select the flow direction to seamlessly control diverse media flows, including viscous or abrasive substances. This compact valve is easy to clean, install and configure, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.
Pneumatic Cylinders
Pneumatic piston rod cylinders consist of pistons in enclosures that generate linear motion. Their compact size and low weight range allow for shorter strokes than standard cylinders which make them suitable for positioning, clamping and ejecting smaller components
