Pneumatic systems are a tried and true motion control
technology. A plumbed system is low-cost, fast and powerful compared to
electric motors and actuators. On the other hand, electrical systems are better
suited to the needs of Industry 4.0: integrated diagnostics, adaptability and
greater precision mean electrical motion controls can play nice with IIoT,
smaller batch sizes or changing production needs.
FESTO’s motion terminal is one way to bring pneumatics into Industry
4.0. It’s…
