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 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 valve, 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.

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.
