Festo launches automation instruction video series

November 30, 2018 – Festo has launched a Festo Service channel on YouTube with explainer videos on how users can commission its electric or pneumatic automation products or carry out simple maintenance work.

The company says the ongoing video series is a complement to more in-depth printed instruction manuals, offering a visual operation aid.

For example, users can learn in a few steps how to change a toothed belt on a linear axis or how to skilfully replace a set of wearing parts on a pneumatic drive, how to commission a valve terminal with bus system or how to assign functions for the EPLAN project “Schematic Solution.” 

The tutorials also include information on the degree of difficulty, the time involved, and the tools required, along with illustrated comparisons that reference typical fault sources. See an example video above, and watch the series here.
