Video Interview: Packaging automation trends from Festo's perspective >>
Watch this brief video interview with Mike Harper, who speaks to the trends that he's seen over the last 10 years in packaging automation, specifically for washdown, food, medical device or harsh environment applications. Cost implications are addressed. |

Video: Inexpensive, high-speed pick-and-place robot for packaging >>
Video shows a demo of the Tripod high-speed, light-payload, 4-axis pick-and-place robot that is servo-powered and controlled by a true robotic controller, but uses linear actuators for lower cost. |

Servo Performance for the Price of a Stepper... >>
Closed loop controller CMMS-ST offers true servo performance based on stepper technology, without the traditional issues of resonance, heating, and loss of step, inherent in conventional stepper systems. CMMS-ST offers an easy-to-use and cost effective control solution for single and multi-axis handling applications. |

Video: Precision multi-axis control for pharmaceutical vial filling >>
Video of vial filling demo shows two axes of motion controlled by an 8-axis control that's mounted right into the valve manifold. Permits adding axes of electrical actuation to pneumatics with very little change to the machine and controls architecture. |

Video: New pre-aligned linear motor technology saves machine builders time >>
Linear motor demo explains how new linear motor technology from Festo makes it much easier for packaging machine builders to apply them. Also featured is a new rod-style actuator with precision motion control which can be used in a product load station, with no external motor required to operate it. |
