Dosing systems | Festo CN

Liquid handling with modular dosing system

When handling liquids in laboratories, reliability, precision and compact dimensions are key. Festo offers all of this. Our dispense head consists of a manifold duct plate, dosing valves and nozzles and can be perfectly adapted to your specific requirements. Combining this with our handling system creates a ready-to-install complete solution which simplifies engineering and increases productivity.

High-precision dosing and positioning

Single- or multiple-channel dispense heads dispense different media with different pressure levels. During extraction, the vacuum and the position of the aspiration needles are precisely controlled.

Media separated solenoid valve VODA

Nominal widths (flanged connection): 0.4 ... 1.0 mm
Nominal widths (threaded connection): 2.0 ... 6.0 mm
Ideal for dispensing small amounts of fluid
Perfect for switching cleaning fluids and rinsing processes, for example

Dispense head VTOE

Contactless dispensing of very small quantities with the high-precision dispense head VTOE. This modular complete solution consists of a manifold duct plate, dosing valves and nozzles. Media-separated valves prevent cross-contamination and ensure optimal flushing.

Proportional-pressure regulator VEAB

For pressure ranges up to 6 bar: piezo technology gives the VEAB high precision and an extremely long service life. Other benefits include: extremely short switching times, noiseless operation and very low power consumption.

Plastic tubing PUN-H, PUN-H-DUO

Flexible and hydrolysis-resistant tubing with standard O.D. in various colours in single or double tubing design

Proportional pressure regulating valve terminal VEMA

8-channel pressure regulator
Output range: -0.5 … +0.5 bar
with digital CAN bus interface

The right handling system paves the way for a complete functional unit

We develop ready-to-install complete solutions with dosing technology and the matching kinematics in line with your requirements – for dosing and pipetting liquids, e.g. for dilutions, adding nutrient solutions or for dispensing reagents into microwell plates.

Spindle axis ELGC-BS

The reasonably priced axis family ELGC allows you to realize incredibly compact dimensions and make the most of your installation space – for small parts handling, desktop applications and much more. The spindle axes also offer impressive guide precision and a ball screw drive.
