Festo at AMTS 2024

From July 3rd to 5th, 2024, after a five-year hiatus, Festo will once again exhibit at the Shanghai AMTS exhibition with a focus on digitization and intelligence, showcasing the latest automation technology and innovative solutions to the industry. At booth W2-J06, we sincerely invite you to experience the charm of automation technology and explore new trends in the development of the automotive industry. We look forward to your visit and starting a journry of intelligent manufacturing with Festo.

Partition Control of Security Module for critical processes in production that cannot be interrupted

Your requirements:

How to meet "different safety response mechanisms" with economical solutions is now a great concern in automated production. In automated production, different processes have different safety response mechanisms, some require that the action stops immediately, while others require that other abnormalities do not interrupt the current process.

Festo Solution：

Festo VTSA-F-CB valve island with simultaneous control of several safety partitions based on serial and parallel communication.

  • On the right side of the stand are the safety zones with encoders, on the left side are the non-safety zones. After starting the machine, the mechanisms in the booth cycle through the pick and place, when the loading grating is triggered or the emergency stop is tapped, the safe zone mechanisms stop and the non-safe zone mechanisms continue to operate.
  • Controlled by a single valve island, the VTSA-F-CB valve island's internal bus system provides 96 valve addresses and up to four voltage zones, three of which are safe voltage zones; the VTSA-F-CB valve island also continues the diverse configurability advantages of the VTSA series valve islands, which can be combined with a wide range of valve calibers on a single valve terminal, and can incorporate functional valves such as slow-start valves, pilot-operated air control valves, and vacuum control valves. The VTSA-F-CB valve island also continues the advantages of the VTSA series valve island's diverse configurability.

EOAT for Lights for collinear production of various parts such as automobile parts, interior and exterior decorations, automotive electronics, etc.

Your Requirement：

In recent years, with the rapid development of automobile manufacturing industry, automobiles on the market have become more diverse in interior and exterior decoration. In order to meet such market demand, it is necessary to design multiple sets of fixtures for the same product of different sizes to demould or grasp during the production process.

Festo Solution：

Festo EOAT allows for multi-positional movements with just one set of fixtures through a simple electric drive system. This helps customers reduce the number of end effectors needed, eliminates the need for tool changers, and saves both hardware costs and the time required for changing fixtures.

  • The SMS integrates the motor and driver into one unit, significantly saving space in the control cabinet.
  • The SMS does not require additional programming software downloads. Multi-point positioning can be easily set through the operation panel, making it very convenient.
  • The use of IO-LINK communication simplifies on-site wiring.
  • With the gateway module CPX-AP-A-VTUX, any faults can be quickly identified and resolved, providing a clear overview.

Ultra-welding station for automotive interior and exterior trim hemming, welding equipment

Your Requirement:

In automated production, especially for some core processes, various pneumatic and electrical drive and sensor are densely arranged to pursue higher production efficiency. How to make the entire solution more economical while ensuring reliability is becoming increasingly important in today's market.

Festo Solution:

Festo's CPX-AP, integrates input/output points and solenoid valves into the topology, allowing flexible centralized and decentralized arrangements, which reduces wiring complexity. Meanwhile, through Festo VTEM, the application scope of pneumatic is broadened, enabling switching between multiple functions such as positioning, pressure regulation, and direction changing to meet complex process requirements.

  • CMMT+EMMT drive and motor, connected by a single cable, support multiple bus protocols.
  • ELGT-BS opposite motion module, designed according to customer needs, makes the electric actuator more compact.
  • The VTEM digital Valve terminal embodies the digitization of pneumatic control.
  • CPX-AP-A-VTUX achieves the integration of pneumatics and electronics in automation control.

AX for automation Production of power motors, batteries, and automotive parts.

Your Requirement：

How to determine the operating status of equipment, especially the reliability of equipment related to key processes, to avoid losses caused by unplanned downtime, while fully utilizing the service life of equipment components and avoiding waste. This is another important topic in automated production besides safety, efficiency, and digitization.

Festo Solution：

The Festo AX artificial intelligence solution can be used not only to assess the operational status of pneumatic and electric components but also to evaluate the status of critical dimensions such as the diameter of locating pins and the position of locating surfaces. This assessment is based on an AI model that detects the current status and predicts the status for a period of time afterward, ensuring the good operational status of the equipment.

  • MSE6-C2M not only has energy efficiency management functions but can also assess the airtightness of the pneumatic system and detect leaks.
  • The ELGD comes with a protective design that ensures a better service life under different working conditions.
  • The CPX-AP-A-VTUX is a platform for the integration of pneumatics and electronics, and it also provides data such as the number of valve switching times for AX to build digital models.
