Interaction between man

and machine redefined

The Bionic Handling Assistant

is a lightweight, fully flexible

system whose structure and

mode of operation are modelled

on an elephant’s trunk. Its

inherent flexibility creates the

right conditions for direct and

safe contact between human

and machine.

Paradigm shift with bionics

The Bionic Handling Assistant

was developed within the frame-

work of the Bionic Learning

Network, a Festo research group

involving universities, institutes

and development companies.

The aim of the initiative is to

apply bionics, i.e. to transfer

the principles of biology to

technology in order to produce

leading-edge technologies.

Following a successful collaboration between industry and science,

the team from Festo and Fraunhofer IPA has been awarded the German

Future Prize 2010 for the revolutionary Bionic Handling Assistant

concept.

New generative manufacturing

technologies

State-of-the-art generative

manufacturing technologies are

a crucial part of the production

of the Bionic Handling Assistant.

Additive manufacturing allows

the production of customised,

movable system parts made of

polyamide applied in thin layers

and fused using a laser. This

enables customised 3D printing

of sophisticated products.

The high flexibility and low

density of the polyamide at

only 0.95 grammes per cubic

centimetre are ideal for the

Bionic Handling Assistant.

Cost-effective production

With generative manufacturing

there are no tool costs, while

follow-up costs for resources

and equipment are reduced.

No delays in the development

of tools means a faster time to

market and an increase in overall

profitability. Fast response times

lead to efficiency and flexibility

in time-critical projects.

Symbiosis of proven, innovative

product solutions

Pneumatics and mechatronics

serve as the basic technologies

for harnessing these natural

principles. The robotic controller

CMXR and piezo valve tech-

nology from Festo bring the

Bionic Handling Assistant to life.

SMAT sensors detect the paths

and enable precise alignment of

the system. The adaptive gripper

grasps objects positively and

non-positively.

Freely manoeuvrable and

flexible handling system

Eleven degrees of freedom open

up a host of task-specific trans-

port directions which, in contrast

to conventional handling

systems, are not restricted to

linear motion. Its structure is

basically flexible and is only

stiffened when required via

pneumatic control, allowing it to

travel along the required path.

Unlike conventional industrial

robots, the Bionic Handling

Assistant is compliant and does

not have to be shielded from

humans.

Future fields of application

Its ability to provide safe

handling in all operating states

means that the system can be

used wherever humans need

non-hazardous support from

machines. Possible applications

can be found in agriculture,

private households and care

institutions or in industry as a

handling system to support

assembly processes.

Integrated solutions that can be customised for specific tasks are the

future of automation. Function integration, such as that offered by the

automation platform CPX, makes it possible to tailor solutions to meet

precise requirements.

This means more economical solutions for you, and all from a single source.

That’s because Festo’s integrated automation platform combines many

different technologies that were previously separate on one platform:

• Electric and pneumatic components – combined with motion control.

• Proportional pneumatics and servopneumatics – on one platform.

• Safety technology – with shutdown concepts up to performance level e

(Cat. 4) that can be realised immediately.

More integration with a smaller footprint

An integrated controller, diagnostics concept, web monitor and a wide range

of IT services ensure seamless integration into existing control concepts.

If you want to see the future of automation, look no further than CPX.

The “Interactive Guide to Inte-

grated Automation” provides

further evidence of the capabili-

ties of CPX using a real machine

with more than 12 processing

stations. This application demon-

strates how the solution package

from Festo can handle every

conceivable task by effortlessly

combining different technolo-

gies, function integration for

electric, pneumatic and motion

Unique in the world: the pioneering platform strategy with free

combination of technologies. Its key advantage: providing the right

solutions for reliable, economical automation, in which energy

efficiency plays an important role.

Linear and rotary movement, vacuum applications, gripping and control:

Mechatronic Motion Solutions combines components, modules, systems

as well as the software for all types of automation solutions, whether

pneumatic, servopneumatic, electric or a mix of these. The integrated

automation platform CPX and motion control make for an extremely

compatible combination.

Be it for standard or complex handling, the combinations of the mecha-

tronic modular system produce solutions with built-in energy efficiency.

This is possible thanks to, among others, the principle of freedom of

choice and technological neutrality, which demands that the most

suitable technology be used. And precise design means that oversizing

or undersizing is avoided.

Electric or pneumatic?

The ideal solution.

The mini slides DGSL and EGSL

come from the same family. Both

are precise, resilient and suitable

for all handling tasks, especially

those involving joining or press-

fitting. DGSL positions pneumati-

cally while EGSL positions elec-

trically, and they are available as

a complete package with motors

and controllers from Festo. Stan-

dardised interfaces ensure that

both can be used at the same

locations if required.

This is a crucial requirement for

ensuring that both technologies

work seamlessly together for

the cutting of plastic sheets, for

example, and exploit all of their

strengths – namely maximum

precision and rapid, strong

feeding.

Designed for the specific task

at hand

Having the right combination of

slide, motor and controller also

plays an important role when it

comes to ensuring maximum

energy efficiency.

This is achieved using the Posi-

tioningDrives sizing software.

The freedom to choose between

the parameters

• description and definition of

the load case: dynamic

response, delay, weight, etc.

• description of the mounting

position: horizontal, vertical,

angled

helps to avoid oversizing or

undersizing of motors, gear

units and slides. This results

in the lowest possible energy

costs with the electric axis EGSL

for the respective load case.

Electric and pneumatic c ompo-

nents working together in

a laminating system

The fabrics for car interior trim

are uniformly laminated on a 3D

raised surface (A, B or C pillar) in

a laminating system for interior

automotive parts. Throughput

has increased threefold with

this solution.

Reliable material feed and clean,

crease-resistant clamping of the

trim are achieved electrically

using 12 spindle axes of type

EGC. These are controlled by

means of a controller CECX-M1

with integrated motion control,

while communication is via

CANopen.

Simple, reliable and energy-efficient design with PositioningDrives.

Overall pneumatic actuation is

handled by a CPX/MPA valve

combination with Profibus inter-

face. Guided drives DFM lower

infrared heating elements to

activate the adhesive. The trim

for the support structures is

folded electrically/pneumatically

using axes EGC in positioning

mode and cylinders ADN. The

laminated workpiece is then

placed on a pallet using a

vacuum.

After a period of economic crisis the market is finally moving again.

However, while some parts may once again be experiencing unabated

growth, others are diversifying due to differing requirements in the

individual regions. Festo is responding to this change with cost-saving

innovations that offer guaranteed quality.

Innovation and standardisation are not mutually exclusive. Even the

performance of standardised components can be continuously improved.

When it comes to efficient standard pneumatics, smaller dimensions

reduce costs, but not performance or quality. Three examples of new,

performance-optimised standard components can be found on the

next page.

Stephan Hartmann,

Purchasing Nestlé Germany

and Scandinavia

“The criteria that we use to evaluate

suppliers include not only initial costs,

but also quality, reliability and capacity

for innovation. We have had very positive

experiences with Festo in this regard.

I would be happy to recommend Festo

to anyone.”

Focus on reliable food production

Industrial food production must meet the highest hygiene standards

and at the same time be productive. In such critical food and splash

zones, where aseptic requirements often have to be met, it quickly

becomes apparent whether components can actually deliver what

they promise.

One of the main challenges in this context is ease of cleaning of the

machines. Automated cleaning concepts have been specially designed

to ensure that the processing area is always clean. Furthermore, the

area must be free of puddles of cleaning fluid or other residues.

These obstacles can be overcome by consistently applying principles

such as Clean Design and by using components and systems designed

for maximum productivity. To achieve this, Festo offers a complete

portfolio of products and systems as well as a range of services for

process and factory automation.

15

Clever innovations to prevent

critical situations

The new PPS cushioning for stan-

dard cylinders DSBF and round

cylinders CRDSNU in Clean

Design never has to be adjusted.

This is done automatically and

saves a huge amount of time

during assembly, particularly in

the case of drives that are diffi-

cult to access. Another advan-

tage is the fact that there is no

risk of incorrect settings being

made in the production process.

The PPS automatically adapts to

typical fluctuations caused by

pressure and wear.

Food safety with Clean Design

The stainless steel round cylinder

CRDSNU is designed according

to Clean Design criteria to ensure

good corrosion resistance even

under aggressive environmental

conditions. No corners and edges

makes for easy cleaning, while

the lubrication with NSF-H1

grease and seals of the basic

design are FDA-approved. It also

comes with a declaration of

conformity for use in food and

splash zones.

Systematically durable

Durability through outstanding

product quality is exemplified

in the guided drive DGRF in

Clean Design. With its 3 million

double strokes it exceeds the

standard by a significant margin

– even under the harsh condi-

tions of continuous cleaning with

water. This is ensured by the

dry-running seal from the Festo

modular system for sealing.

The seals and lubrication are

FDA-approved.

Building the future with automation solutionsfor drinking water purification

Population growth, urbanisation and rising living standards are three

factors that will lead to a significant increase in water consumption

in developing or emerging nations in the future. Complete automation

solutions from Festo can help lower energy costs and improve produc-

tivity, thus achieving maximum reliability of supply.

Increasing reliability of supply while reducing energy costs

In developed nations, process automation solutions from Festo also play

a key role in reducing energy costs when carrying out improvements to

existing water treatment plants. They also provide the security of a

continuously operating water treatment process that delivers consistent

quality, even during power failures. The water treatment plant in Cairo is

a perfect example of this.

Complete automation for fixed-bed filters

In Cairo, water from the Nile is filtered to produce drinking water quality.

Festo provides the complete control circuit system for fixed-bed filters.

The clever filtration and backwashing procedure implemented in coopera-

tion with BAMAG GmbH optimises the process significantly. It can also be

operated purely pneumatically, even with manual control, which contri-

butes to its built-in reliability.

17

Optimised process delivers

more drinking water with less

energy consumption

By automating the cycle of filtra-

tion – backwashing to clean

filters – filtration, it is possible

to increase the amount of water

produced per hour. This is

because the control circuit

system automatically detects

precisely when and how long

backwashing of the fixed-bed

filter with air and rinse water

is required. This means that

drinking water production can be

resumed as quickly as possible.

Water filtration is one of the

most significant contributors to

energy consumption in water

treatment plants. Targeted

cleaning of the fixed-bed filter

according to specific require-

ments saves a significant amount

of energy, which can be used

directly in the production of

drinking water. Another positive

side-effect is the elimination

of water wastage during the

process.

Increased operational reliability

even when there is no power

The automation concept from

Festo has helped to significantly

reduce the response time in the

event of a power failure. Just one

push of a button is all it takes to

actuate the pneumatic manual

control unit from the control

cabinet for all fixed-bed filters.

Pneumatics is the only automa-

tion technology that can offer

this level of flexibility and opera-

tional reliability.

Faster operation

The benefits available in emer-

gencies also apply to commis-

sioning. Sand filtration can start

even before the power supply is

connected.

Perfectly matched product

portfolio

The automation solution

consists of:

• Two process valves (1), which

are automated with an

open/close function using

linear drives DLP. This controls

the intake of untreated water

and discharge of rinse water.

• Three butterfly valves (2)(3),

which are automated with a

control function using quarter

turn actuator DFPB and

analogue sensor boxes SRAP.

This controls the discharge of

filtered water and the intake

of air and cleaning water.

• The control cabinet (4) – the

“brain” of the process. The

process is monitored and

controlled with the integrated

valve terminal CPX/VTSA,

a PLC and visualisation via

the graphical display and

operating unit FED.

Increasing service life,

reducing compressed air costs

Additional savings can be

achieved by optimising the

compressors and modernising

applications that are not energy-

efficient. Compressed air quality

should also be improved, as it

influences the service life of

supply systems and equipment.

According to the experts from

Festo, once these steps have

been carried out and the savings

potential has been fully utilised,

the company will have a signifi-

cantly improved energy usage.

18

Let’s start at the very beginning.

Compressed air consumption at

one of the supplier’s plants was

approx. 13.06 million m3 annu-

ally with a control pressure of

8 bar. With compressed air

costing 2.5 cent/m3 on average,

annual compressed air costs

were in the region of 330,000

Euro. Based on the detailed

analysis carried out, both the

company and the Festo experts

concluded that these costs

were too high.

Immediate reduction in

energy costs

The entire compressed air supply

and all applications were investi-

gated using an acoustic leakage

location system, which identified

501 leakages in a manufacturing

area of approx. 15,000 m2. In most

cases the leakages were due to

loose connections and fittings.

The leakage measurements were

classified as large, medium and

small, amounting to a total loss

of 3,341 l/min. By immediately

eliminating the leakages, it was

possible to reduce compressed

air costs by around 42,000 Euro.

According to a study conducted

by the Fraunhofer Institute ISI,

effective leakage management

accounts for almost 42% of the

entire savings potential.

Savings potential

Up to 50% through detailed compressed air

consumption analysis during operation and

downtimes

Up to 40% through energy-efficient supply

systems

10% through the demand-driven design

of drive technologies and correct sizing of

components with the Festo configuration

tool FCT for commissioning and Positioning-

Drives for design



Energy Saving Services ..................................................................... 47

Long-term energy saving with Energy Saving Services

Rapid savings with a long-term effect?

With the Energy Saving Services this is possible because the individual

measures complement one another. In one case, the Festo Energy

Saving Services carried out a check that helped a mechanical and plant

engineering supplier make immediate savings of over 40,000 Euro

annually on its energy and operating costs.

Consistently geared towards

added value

40 years of experience in the

area of training and 20 years

in process optimisation and

consulting means we have expe-

rienced trainers and consultants

and the right set-up to increase

your employees’ and your

company’s success – sustainably

and verifiably.

Dovetailing of qualification

and consulting

Ideally, there should be a dove-

tailing of qualification and

consulting for long-term process

optimisation – as illustrated in

the case of Georg Oest Mineralöl-

werk GmbH & Co. KG, based in

the south-east of Germany. In a

project entitled “Take Off 18”,

the manufacturer of lubricants

for the automotive, industrial,

metal-cutting and forming

sectors had its entire value

creation process put to the test.

In collaboration with Festo

Training and Consulting, the

value stream was analysed step

by step, from customer enquiry

to delivery in order to make the

annual sales volume of 18,000

more efficient and productive.

The holistic analysis of the value

stream incorporated all depart-

ments, from the laboratory to

shipping, from customer enquiry

to delivery. The tools introduced

for the sustainable unlocking

of potential included process-

oriented reference data, a new

central control and communica-

tion structure as well as new

initiatives for promoting human

resource development. An intel -

ligent system of delivery cate-

gories as well as a performance

dialogue will accelerate and

simplify processes in the future.

Didactic

As an innovation leader in factory and process automa-

tion, Festo has been committed to the area of water treat-

ment for many years, offering complete solutions from a

single source, tailored to the requirements of the system

operators. For 2011, Festo Training and Consulting is

offering technical courses geared towards the specific

requirements of water management companies:

Fundamentals of pneumatics in water management

This 3-day course provides an insight into process

automation in water plants. Since this is an area where

operating errors and miscalculations can have especially

serious consequences, this course makes a decisive

contribution to the process reliability of these systems.

This process reliability is also demanded by the licensing

and supervisory authorities and prescribed by law.

Advanced course on pneumatics in water management

In water treatment plants, more and more emphasis is

being placed on the networking of all units involved in the

process. As part of this, the individual collectors, pump

stations and rainwater retention basins are automated

and remotely controlled or monitored from a central

control console. The signal states have to be recorded

and evaluated , and action taken if necessary. In this 3-day

course, participants consolidate their knowledge of

components for process automation of water systems.

Measures to reduce risk are essential when building

a safety-oriented machine. The previous standard

DIN EN 954-1 only dealt with quantitative aspects.

The latest standard DIN EN ISO 13 849-1, however,

demands that the designer also perform a qualitative

assessment of the safety control system. The purpose

is to calculate the probability of failure. But how do

you go about performing a risk analysis, determining

the necessary performance levels and confirming these

through calculation?

Following this 2-day course, participants will be able to

specify the components in a safety circuit and calculate

the performance level of this circuit with the help of the

SISTEMA software. Participants will also understand

the qualitative aspect of DIN EN ISO 13 849-1.
