Just a click away from the ideal service unit …

Together with the customer, Festo is leading the way in the field of compressed air preparation with custom tailored solutions. MS series service units provide a convincing alternative thanks to the outstanding design and flow rate values. The software configurator makes an ideal selection tool, and puts together a customised combination with each mouse click – together with a preview including appearance and technical characteristics of the ideal future service unit.

Application-specific compressed air preparation which is custom tailored to the requirements of the respective system ensures trouble-free operation of machinery and equipment. This is possible with MS series service units that offer a wide rage of various combinations for achieving almost any desired compressed air quality thanks to their modular design. The configurator alleviates the agony of decision-making by creating a customised combination for every application in a trouble free manner, and with significant savings in project design time.

A perfect match

Whether pressure regulators, filters, on-off-valves, sensors or lubricators: The MS series not only opens up new horizons as a result of expansion to three sizes, it also provides all compressed air preparation functions as part of a single program – for perfectly matched solutions from standalone devices right on up to ready-to-install complete solutions. Individual service units can be ordered as standard components directly from the catalogue, or can be combined individually with the help of the free configurator. Pre-assembled combinations available from stock are even more convenient – packaged and shipped as a single unit. Individually configurable service unit combinations are available for customer-specific solutions. These packages are custom tailored to the user’s respective requirements, and are assembled and tested before shipment. Fully assembled and tested complete solutions are available for a perfect match from planning right on up to installation – ready to install via Festo plug and work.

At the click of a mouse

The fastest route to your ideal service unit is provided by the MS series configurator. Whereas previously individual combinations were put together using an info brochure, selection and ordering with the help of the product configurator in the electronic catalogue or the online shop facilitates significant time saving. Individualised standalone devices and complete MSB4 and MSB6 service units can be put together using the free service tool without the need for registering. The MS12 modular system not only offers basic functions such as filters and regulators for the configuration of individual standalone devices with a 124 mm grid dimension, but on-off valves and soft-start valves can also be easily selected and configured for individual solutions.

Easy ordering

From product search in the catalogue via the configurator, directly into the shopping cart: After selecting an individual combination, the order is placed with just a single part number. All selection options are displayed in a multilevel overview. In addition to this, the graphic display provides a view of the selection, which is refreshed after each step and includes a side view of the mountings. Upon request, the price can be queried offline after each step when using the electronic catalogue on CD ROM. In any case, the customer-specific product is shipped assembled and tested after selection has been made. In order to ensure best possible functional performance, errors are displayed during selection (incompatibilities). The user is notified if the selected combination is a standard stock item – an added advantage for reduced costs and faster delivery, because individual assembly and testing are eliminated.

Up to date

The new function modules included in the MS series meet the demands of modern compressed air preparation with integrated sensors and remote adjustment. This provides users with options for remote monitoring and remote control for reliably supplying compressed air to equipment and systems. Furthermore this results in controlled processes for maximised machine availability. Showpiece components include the flow sensor and the remote adjustable regulator. With great attention to detail, the MS series offers the user even more opportunities with many new innovations – especially the semi-automatic condensate drain and the filter contamination display included with the LFM.
