Ready-to-Install Handling Subsystems

Festo Controls offers Ready-to-Install Handling Subsystems. These systems equipped with components such as drives, high-performance valves, valve terminals and service units. These systems shorten the distance from idea to machine. These systems are delivered directly to the machine as assembled, tested and ready to go. Complete solutions relieve the pressure on the technical personnel, while keeping design work and expense low. These facilitate the procurement process and reduce process costs. Picking takes place very quickly and barely at two seconds. Plug and work guarantees vertical positioning by means of an electrical roller guide axis (positioning) combined with a purely pneumatically driven axis (DGP-L). The pick-up is handled by the pneumatic long-stroke gripper HGP-L 25, as, with its maximum stroke of 80 millimetres and also transport grinding tools of various sizes. In addition, an electrical toothed belt-linear drive (DGE-L) serves as the basic drive for the lower guide. Depending on the application, more suitable drive variants are being offered such as, for example, the highly dynamic electrical toothed belt axis with roller bearing guide or DGE-RF for short. With its integrated drive system, it reaches speeds of about10 m/s. A major advantage is special machine and system builders can save a great deal of time and expense in their engineering and design processes, when compared to developing their own handling systems in-house.
