Festo, a manufacturer of pneumatic and electromechanical systems, components, and controls for process and industrial automation, has launched its Pneumatic Essentials program which streamlines ordering, ensures fast delivery of guaranteed in-stock pneumatic components, and produces more compact parts for a smaller footprint, energy-efficient machines.
According to its developers, Pneumatic Essentials is a one-stop-shop for the components that Festo finds fit most common pneumatic applications, including air preparation, high-wear polyurethane tubing, one-way flow control valves, high flow valves for normal and harsh environments, self-teaching proximity switch, mini slide, guided drive, direct interchangeability ANSI NFPA cylinders, and metric and imperial round and compact cylinders.
Customers in North America will reportedly experience short delivery times for both catalog and customized Essentials components from the Festo Global Production Center in Mason, Ohio.
Festo has developed a robust supply chain for Pneumatic Essentials, identifying key products that would benefit from upgrading and building new manufacturing lines for those with new designs.
