Highlights

Electric automation always fits

What makes electric automation from Festo stand out? How do two experts on this technology from two continents explain it? Tom Worsnopp from Festo USA and Qiming Guo from Festo China discuss how easily different requirements for electric automation technology can be brought together under one roof with the automation platform from Festo.

Innovation

Optimising liquid handling results

In dispensing or pipetting applications in laboratory automation, it is important to obtain reliable results, which are analysed by calculating the accuracy and precision. To achieve these results, several influencing factors have to be taken into account, from the measuring equipment to external and internal influences.

In practice

Highly precise dispensing of casting resin

From car parking sensors through to smartphones and electric toothbrushes, sensitive electronic components need protection against undesirable substances. This is where special casting resins come in. The “mini-dis” desktop machine from bdtronic allows high-precision dispensing processes in a very small space – thanks, among other things, to the compact handling system YXMx from Festo.
