New FDA-compliant Festo PTFEN tubing tackles roughest jobs in food and other processing applications

DCS Festo PTFEN tubing 400

February 4, 2019

Festo’s newest line of FDA-compliant pneumatic tubing – PTFEN – delivers excellent high pressure, heat, corrosion and hydrolysis resistance required for harsh operating environments in many   process industries. Made of polytetrafluorethylene, this extremely robust   tubing is TSE-free, resistant to cleaning agent and not affected by   challenging ambient atmospheric conditions. Microbes and other active agents   and contaminants don’t stick to polytetrafluorethylene, making PTFEN tubing   easier to clean and ideal not only for food production but also for   manufacturing in the chemical, semiconductor, pharmaceutical and cosmetics   industries.

Depending on the recommended Festo fitting with which it is paired, PTFEN tubing is rated for up to 6 bar at 130ºC for pressure resistance, or 150ºC for heat   resistance. It’s offered in seven different outside diameters, ranging from 4   to 16 mm. With more than 200 nickel-plated brass and stainless steel fittings   available, Festo will recommend the ideal combination for each application.

Achieving Matrimony Between Machine Vision and Motion Control in Lab Automation – A Case Study

As technological advancements become common-place and affordable, more industries look to implement motion control and machine vision systems to automate tasks that may be menial and time consuming. Many industries can benefit from automated systems but, the question is, how do they get started? Often, they know what they want to mechanize, but do not have automation experts on staff to make it happen. Mechatronics Canada had the opportunity to talk with Eric Rice, Product Market Manager – Electric Automation at Festo, to discuss a case study where a customer recently chose Festo to help them implement machine vision with a motion control system to automate their industrial application.

New Premium Sine Seal Oil Seal

 

Oil seals in today’s production systems are subject to increasingly challenging conditions and requirements. Our gear units, and therefore the sealing systems, are used in machines that run at variable speeds or at continuous duty and therefore cause the temperatures in the drive system to fluctuate. The pressure inside the gear unit also varies according to the capacity utilization.
