Fast and Accurate Industrial Automation Design
Choosing the right handling system can be a detailed and time-consuming process. Today, however, modern engineering tools are making it much easier for manufacturers to design and specify automation solutions. With Festo’s Handling Guide Online, businesses can configure a complete, ready-to-order handling system in as little as 20 minutes.
Whether the application calls for a simple single-axis unit or a fully integrated 3D gantry system, the Festo Handling Guide makes the process straightforward. It helps engineers, machine builders, and production managers move from concept to implementation faster and with greater confidence.
At Pneumatics & Sensors Ireland, we support businesses across Ireland with advanced Festo automation technologies that help improve productivity, reduce design time, and keep projects moving.
What Is the Festo Handling Guide Online?
The Festo Handling Guide Online is an intelligent engineering tool designed to help users configure complete handling and motion systems quickly and accurately.
Instead of spending days calculating component sizes and checking compatibility, users enter their application requirements and the software recommends a suitable solution.
It also calculates key details such as load capacity, travel distance, cycle time, and performance requirements, giving users the information they need to make confident decisions.
The end result is a fully configured handling solution that is ready to order and ready to integrate into an automation project.
From Single-Axis Systems to 3D Gantries
No two automation applications are exactly the same, so flexibility is essential when designing handling systems.
The Festo Handling Guide Online supports a wide range of solutions, including:
- Single-axis linear systems
- Two-axis handling systems
- Cartesian robots
- Pick and place systems
- Multi-axis gantry systems
- Complete 3D handling solutions
This flexibility makes the tool suitable for a wide range of industries, including electronics, pharmaceuticals, food production, and advanced manufacturing.
Fast Configuration Saves Valuable Time
One of the biggest advantages of the Festo Handling Guide Online is speed.
Traditional system design often involves detailed calculations, product selection, and engineering reviews. The Handling Guide helps reduce much of this workload.
In many cases, a complete solution can be configured in around 20 minutes.
This allows engineering teams to spend less time on manual calculations and more time focused on delivering the project. It also helps businesses respond more quickly to customer requirements and changing production demands.
Accurate Solutions with Reduced Risk
Speed matters, but accuracy is just as important.
The Handling Guide Online uses proven engineering calculations to ensure each proposed solution matches the requirements of the application.
This helps users avoid common specification errors and reduces the risk of selecting components that are not suitable for the job.
The system also provides detailed technical information, CAD models, and documentation, helping engineers move smoothly from design through to installation.
