Hauppauge, NY -- "Built-from scratch," 2- and 3-axis, pneumatic, Cartesian and gantry style machines has become a-thing-of-the-past with Festo’s Handling and Assembly Technology (HAT). These units make it possible for end users and OEM’s, regardless of their expertise, to take advantage of this innovative approach to precision automation for both handling and assembly. HAT, as a modular technology is available in three levels:

• Level 1: Pre-engineered for almost "out-of-the-box" operation, with only minimal design, assembly, and practically no engineering time required.
• Level 2: Modified Pre-engineered systems permit changes in actuator stroke, change or removal of gripper or sensors, while maintaining many of the factory design and engineering advantages found in Level 1.
• Level 3: Custom design includes systems where levels 1 and 2 do not meet the application requirements. These systems can be engineered with various permutations of the broad range of components HAT offers, or any combination of compatible third party devices.

Festo also offers a wide range of component products and project level engineering services to assist industry partners, end-users and OEMs in developing efficient and reliable of pneumatic solutions. A worldwide organization, Festo maintains sales and engineering support offices, and subsidiaries in 52 countries, and distributors in over 180 countries.
