Festo claims that machine builders can resolve the age-old dilemma of whether to deploy electric or pneumatic technology for linear motion tasks by adopting a more application-led approach and deploying hybrid solutions.

Would you know what to do if your pneumatic system was experiencing intermittent pressure fluctuations? Are you confident that the component you have just replaced was actually the cause of the fault? How can you extend the mean time between failure to optimise productivity?

The new MS2 air preparation units from Festo allows machine builders and design engineers to put precision and accuracy close to the process without compromising on flow rates.

A free webinar that explains how pressure-controlled liquid handling systems can be used to deliver precise, accurate and cost-effective throughput in laboratory applications will be delivered by Festo on Tuesday 1 December at 10am GMT.

If you are a fan of the big screen, you are going to love the new VPPI proportional pressure regulator from Festo. It features a large, high definition display that makes set-up and diagnosis a doddle.

Infectious diseases are an ever-present threat to our society – as evidenced by the current coronavirus outbreak. Today’s laboratories are increasingly reliant on automated liquid handling systems rapidly to develop and produce new vaccines.

The Bionic Flower is a construction kit inspired by the plant world. Festo Didactic developed the Bionic Flower following the models of mimosa plants and water lilies in cooperation with SkySpirit.

They are agile, nimble and can even fly loops and tight turns. The five BionicSwifts can move in a coordinated and autonomous manner in a defined airspace by interacting with a radio-based indoor GPS.
