Festo Motion Terminal VTEM

Digital simplicity: World first Festo Motion Terminal VTEM – Subject to change – 2017/11

Flexibility and standardisation, hand in hand: our Motion Apps

The Festo Motion Terminal offers you benefits throughout the entire value chain, from the design to the

modernisation of your machine. The Motion Apps, which control a single piece of hardware, are an integral

part. They allow you to standardise your applications while offering unparalleled levels of flexibility. The

result: huge savings and increased productivity. More apps are already being planned.

Directional control valve functions

Maximum flexibility for special-purpose machines as well as for

handling systems in series production. You can modify standard

directional control valve functions such as 4/2, 4/3 and 3/2 at any

time and as often as necessary, even during operation. This enables

you to respond to a large number of requirements at the touch of

a button.

Proportional directional control valve

For the first time at Festo, two proportional flow control functions

have been integrated in one valve and on one platform, resulting

in an economical and compact solution.

Soft Stop

(available Q3/2018)

Shorten your cycle times by up to 70%! With Soft Stop, you can

implement highly dynamic yet gentle positioning motion without wear-

prone shock absorbers. This reduces maintenance times, increases

the service life of your system and thus enhances your productivity.

(Required accessory: position sensor SDAP)

Proportional pressure regulation

Save space and hardware costs by combining the functions of two

individual and independent proportional pressure regulators in just

one valve – including with vacuum!

Model-based proportional pressure regulation

(available Q2/2018)

With model-based control, there's no need for external sensors.

By storing fewer boundary parameters for the system, such as tube

length, tube diameter and cylinder size, the anticipatory control

system ensures maximum accuracy, as the app can compensate for

a drop in pressure and volume using the control technology.
