 Hi, I'm Steve Bain with Festo Corporation. I'm our Industry Segment Manager for Food and Packaging, and we're here today looking at our new IP69K wash down display. There's a lot going on here. This features prominently our EPRF electric actuator paired with our EMMH electric motor. Both are IP69K-rated stainless steel wash down, ready to handle your aggressive environments. 

Here it's controlling a soft gripper, our HPSX. Here is our medium three-finger configuration. We can offer it in small or large, two, three, or four finger. And then the conveyor itself is also being controlled by another EMMH motor. The actuator can handle up to 12 and a half kilonewtons of force, the motor up to 3,800 newton meters of torque. 

And then we have a spray ball being operated by another EPRF, just showing the whole thing is IP69K hygienic wash down. All the things that, that the market needs for those tough environments. We also have our MPAC wash down valve manifold and our CRDS new wash down pneumatic actuator. 

So it's really just a showcase of how much Festo is leading the market in providing IP69K hygienic solutions. Also on this other side here, we have some stainless steel VZQA pinch valves controlling our air, and the whole thing is being controlled by Festo drives and motors. Multi-protocol, so we can support multi EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, PROFIBUS, all in the same drive. 

So this is where we see the market needing more hygienic, more wash down, and just better control.
