Mechatronic Motion Solutions

Mechatronic Motion Solutions from Festo is a globally unique
system comprising components, modules, systems and software.
It combines all types of pneumatic, servopneumatic and (electro)
mechanical motion, geared to your task. Irrespective of the control
system environment you use, Mechatronic Motion Solutions pro-
vides the appropriate interfaces.

Mechatronic
Guarantees the mechanical and electrical compatibility and combina-
tion at all levels. All pneumatic and electric drives are equipped with
suitable interfaces for mechanical, data and energy transmission,
thus ensuring that different technologies can be combined in one
system. It also enables complex handling and positioning systems to
be set up easily and safely.

Motion
Stands for the comprehensive, multi-dimensional portfolio of linear
and rotary drives as well as a large variety of mechanical and vacuum
grippers. They provide a host of benefits, such as high speed, preci-
sion, etc.

Solutions
Represents the decades of experience Festo has in the field of hand-
ling technology, across all industries and continents. This includes
first-class expertise in the development of components and sophisti-
cated systems. They range from pre-designed and calculated compo-
nents to subsystems and complete systems. The logical answer to the
demand for pre-installed and customised systems and solutions.

Forward-looking:
The Bionic Handling Assistant.

Now in the Festo range:
numerous innovative products that have
already proven their worth in practice,
including the adaptive gripper DHDG
and the robotic controller CMXR.
