Festo's Clean Design valve terminal approach eliminates the need for dirt traps. The CDVI has a highly wear-resistant polypropylene (PP) plastic housing, anodized aluminum base plate, stainless steel screws, EPDM seals and a chemical-resistant cable. The unit meets the requirements of IP 65 and IP 67. To minimize cleaning times, units have increased space between the valves. The valve terminal provides a direct interface to the DeviceNet fieldbus system. To address the needs of the food processing and packaging industry, valve offerings include 5/2-way, 5/2-way bi-stable, 5/3-way, and 2 × 3/2-way valve functions with a spool design. Terminal extensions up to a maximum of 12 positions can be performed in steps of two valve positions. A fully equipped terminal can use up to three different supply pressures.

With its QuickPack print engine technology, easy-to-use preprocessing software, and hands-free cleaning system, Stratasys' Mojo is taking professional-grade 3D printing to a new level.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
