From remote I/O to the actuator – everything seamlessly automated
Drive Digitalization. From real-time tracking to a look into the future.
Nowadays, it must be possible to analyse every machine in a standardised way, regardless of the manufacturer or control system.
Festo offers a broad portfolio of software, tools and digital services to do this: from hardware-independent applications to device-related functions and apps to digital twins. With a valid database, processes can be optimised and predictive maintenance and seamless integration into higher-level systems can be realised.
These are the solutions we will be showing you on our stand:
- Our system configurator, the AX controller integration and improved digital engineering tools, all designed to optimise your automation projects.
- Smartenance and Motion Insights to boost your performance and operating times.
- AI-driven software creation, digital twins and Asset Administration Shell (AAS) to increase the accuracy and efficiency of your planning.
- Our Virtual Assistant will provide you with answers and suggestions to your enquiries.
Controls. From traditional control to adaptive intelligence.
Our electric automation solutions combine scalable controllers, integrated engineering tools and intelligent software functions. They range from stand-alone units to fully networked systems for real-time adjustments, dynamic system behaviour and measurable efficiency gains. The result is reliable, future-proof automation: open, flexible and platform-compatible.
These are the solutions we will be showing you on our stand:
- Comprehensive software expertise for creating your future-proof automation solutions: find your intelligent AX Control as a central component of the Festo Automation Experience (Festo AX).
- Our PLCnext Store that you can use to extend the functionality of your solutions and integrate your third-party applications.
- The control platform CEPE: with its high computing power it can control between 20 and 40 synchronised motors and drives in your production line, thus strengthening system performance.
- The Festo App World – discover our online platform with apps and software solutions for PCs, mobile products or Festo products.
Remote I/O. From simple connectivity to universal integration.
Our remote I/O solutions are designed for seamless integration across systems, architectures and industries. They offer scalable configurations, integrated safety functions and direct support for all common protocols, whether for centralised or decentralised systems. This is how machines communicate efficiently, grow flexibly and meet the most demanding safety requirements. Get to know our comprehensive portfolio, from compact individual applications to complex networks.
These are the solutions we will be showing you on our stand:
- Modular remote I/Os ensure the structures in your machine architecture are clearly laid out instead of unnecessarily complex.
- Integrated safety functions: at the dynamic exhibit on the topic of safety you can discover how to reliably protect your machine and achieve standard-compliant security.
- Our VTUX product wall will show you how the new CTED modules can be integrated for cost-effective and flexible network customisation.
Motors & Drives. From maximum flexibility to highest precision.
Festo offers a comprehensive portfolio, from compact motors to powerful controllers, for the complete control of any motion task. With scalable performance classes, flexible interfaces and integrated safety functions, our drive solutions can be seamlessly integrated into a wide range of system architectures. They are suitable for up to 99 % of all motion applications, including decentralised concepts. The benefit to you: fast commissioning, precise positioning and reliable dynamics, all from a single source.
These are the solutions we will be showing you on our stand:
- Our CEPE control platform in combination with decentralised solutions enables a flexible system architecture with minimal installation effort as CEPE controls up to 40 synchronised motors and drives.
- Intuitive comparison tools help you to quickly find the optimum motor-drive combination.
- The 7th-Axis-Robot-Display demonstrates how robots together with linear axes achieve reach, flexibility and dynamics.
Actuators. From natural motion to new technical drives.
The electric drive portfolio from Festo covers a wide performance range and enables precise control and seamless integration. It is based on modular components with standardised interfaces and offers flexible configuration options for specific applications. The systems support both standardised and individual drive concepts for use in food processing, electronics production and general industrial automation, for example.
These are the solutions we will be showing you on our stand:
- Discover the full flexibility of electrically controlled movements: whether in a standard application or as a customised concept, you will find your solution on our product wall.
- Increase precision and flexibility, for example with extensions to the cost-efficient and powerful electric linear drive ELGD, the precise and efficient ball screw drive ECSA or the electric cylinder EPRF with motor for the food industry.
- Achieve especially cost-effective gripper performance with our cost-effective HExC grippers.
ELGD – excellent precision
The electric ball screw axis ELGD from Festo has an impressively compact design, high rigidity and can be seamlessly integrated into industrial automation environments. In smart system architectures, movements can be controlled efficiently, and predictive maintenance can be organised. It was given the Red Dot Design Award 2025 for its innovative design.
