Festo introduces Pneumatic Essentials program for easy-order/fast-ship pneumatic products

Festo has launched the Pneumatic Essentials program, said to be an ambitious global undertaking to streamline ordering, ensure fast delivery of guaranteed in-stock pneumatic components, and produce more compact parts for current smaller footprint, energy efficient machines.

Pneumatic Essentials is described as a one-stop-shop for the 16 fundamental components that the company finds fit most common pneumatic applications. The components include 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.

North American customers will experience short delivery times for both catalog and customized Essentials components from the Festo Global Production Center in Mason, OH, the company says. Rapid, assured Essentials shipping is available to customers globally from Festo regional service centres, it adds.
