Application scenarios
Laboratory liquid‑handling devices are a key step in sample prep, suitable for standalone automated workstations and modular lab automation platforms. In life‑science research, clinical diagnostics and drug development, fluid handling efficiency and accuracy directly affect downstream experiment reliability and throughput.
Festo solution
Unlike vacuum/positive-pressure based source displacement, this unit adopts a “liquid‑to‑liquid displacement” approach to achieve higher precision and faster response. The system core combines an ultra‑low‑voltage driven dynamic permanent‑magnet synchronous servo motor (EMMT‑EC) with high‑precision ball‑screw electric cylinders to drive precision syringes. Paired with the high‑performance medium‑isolation valve VYKA (3–5 ms response time, ultra‑low internal volume), it enables fast, accurate micro‑liquid handling in compact spaces. VTOI bonding technology ensures repeatability and accuracy for 8‑channel pipetting.
Application scenarios
Bioreactors provide an environment for microbes or enzymes to grow, enabling rapid proliferation and efficient product formation. They are used in synthetic biology, recombinant protein production, DNA vaccines, 3D tissue/cell culture and microbial cell factory scale‑up.
Festo solution
Reactor control involves stirring speed, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and fluid dynamics. Festo supplies precise gas control, high‑performance agitation servo systems and remote I/O modules. The VEMD mass flow controller combined with the 18‑bit VEAE piezo valve array enables precise regulation of air, oxygen, CO2 and nitrogen. The compact VEAE valve array offers low leakage, low power consumption, long life and oxygen compatibility.
Application scenarios
In upstream bulk production, stirrer speed control directly affects reactor hydrodynamics and cell growth. Too little agitation can cause cell settling and impaired nutrient transfer; too much can cause shear stress and cell damage.
Festo solution
High‑performance EMMT servo motors paired with multi‑protocol CMMT servo controllers (PN, EC, EP or Modbus TCP) provide precise torque, speed and position control. High dynamic response and very low breakaway torque ensure excellent tunability, synchronization and tracking accuracy—core support for stable industrial bioreactor operation.
Application scenarios
Synthesis and reaction processes for chemical APIs, biopharma processes using organic solvents or hydrogenation, herbal extraction with organic solvents, powder drying, milling, sieving and feeding, storage and transport of hazardous materials.
Festo solution
Festo provides highly customized intelligent valve island cabinet control solutions that deeply integrate multifunctional valve manifolds with signal acquisition. Centralized control optimizes overall control logic, significantly reduces field wiring and supports modular installation for faster deployment. For various hazardous area requirements—Zone 1 or Zone 2, increased safety or intrinsically safe types—we offer valve island cabinets with CCC explosion‑proof certification to ensure safety and compliance under demanding conditions.
Application scenarios
Wear and anomalies of production equipment are hard to detect in advance; unplanned downtime affects line efficiency. Traditional maintenance relies on manual experience and lacks data support.
Product value
Festo AX MIE is a predictive maintenance package for electric‑driven products. Paired with Festo servo drives CMMT‑AS/ST, it’s plug‑and‑play—no PLC operation or data‑science expertise required. The system continuously monitors drivetrain wear and anomalies, with visualization accessible via browser. It helps reduce unplanned downtime and improves overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Fixed servo drive pricing makes investment planning transparent and controllable.
Application scenarios
Drawing pneumatic, electrical and hydraulic schematics is time‑consuming. Non‑uniform standard symbols and separation of component selection from drawings reduce engineering efficiency.
Product value
Festo FluidDraw is software for drawing pneumatic, electrical and hydraulic circuit diagrams. It includes a built‑in standard symbol library compliant with current standards, can call Festo’s product catalog to auto‑generate project data and device labels. Supports custom symbols, libraries, product databases and drawing templates—ending the need to start drawings from scratch.
