Festo Centre for Industrial Automation

The mobile workstation is designed as a mobile ergonomic workbench, when training on pneumatics, and it will permit several people to work simultaneously. This is further facilitated by the two integrated fixed drawer units that ensure quick and easy access to the required components of the Learning System. With back to back arrangement of profile plate, each workstation can accommodate two trainer kits.
