Festo's history and development

What is electrical automation

Elektriskā automatizācija ir mehānisko procesu automatizācija, izmantojot elektriskas komponentes – servo un soļu motorus, piedziņas un aktuatorus.

Atšķirībā no tradicionālajām pneimatiskajām vai hidrauliskajām sistēmām, elektriskā automatizācija nodrošina augstu precizitāti, programmējamu kontroli un vieglu integrāciju digitālajā IoT vidē.

Šī tehnoloģija ir modernās ražošanas mugurkauls – tā nodrošina precīzu, automatizētu kustību ražošanas līnijās, konveijeros, iepakošanas iekārtās un robotizētajās rokās.

Why choose electrical automation

Electrical automation offers several key advantages:

  • High precision and repeatability – ideal for precise positioning, high travel speeds, and complex trajectories. 

  • Energy efficiency – lower energy consumption compared to pneumatic or hydraulic systems. 

  • Flexibility and scalability – easy to adapt equipment for various tasks. 

  • Integration with digital technologies – suitable for smart factories and data analysis.

As a result, companies can reduce costs, increase productivity, and respond faster to market changes.

How electrical automation systems work

Electrical automation systems consist of several key components:

  1. Electric motors – convert electrical energy into rotational motion.
  2. Drives – control motor speed, torque, and position.
  3. Mechanical axes and actuators – transform rotational motion into linear or other required directions.
  4. Control systems and sensors – provide feedback and precise motion synchronization.

The combination of these components enables the creation of intelligent and highly efficient production systems.
