The motion terminal VTEM is finally in South Africa, and it is opening new radical dimensions in the world of automation. Festo’s VTEM is allegedly the world’s first valve to be controlled by apps and to truly earn the label “digitised pneumatics”. The Motion Apps allow you to integrate a huge range of functions that can be changed at the push of a button without changing the hardware. This enables you to produce customised consumer goods more economically and easily. From simple valve functions to soft stop and proportional pneumatics, VTEM covers all the pneumatic functions you need for your production. It is also suitable for a multitude of functions that currently require more than 50 components. The Festo Motion Terminal uses an integrated concept to ensure energy-efficient operation. In addition to apps for saving energy, low-energypiezo valves have been developed for controlling the main valve stages. These reduce the power consumption for the pilot control by up to 90%, while using just a single valve variant reduces process costs from the design to the modernisation stage.
