The Festo Assured Shipping Time (FAST) program ensures that products will be shipped on the same day the order is placed or by the third day, depending on the type of product selected. Thousands of Festo pneumatic components are covered by the FAST program. This innovative program lowers customer inventory costs and shortens time to market for prototypes and production machines.
The online FAST program catalog lists all eligible products and respective one or three day ship times. Same day shipment is typical for standard components, including:
*Pneumatic cylinders and actuators
*Pneumatic valves
*Sensors
*Air preparation units
*Fittings/flow controls/tubing/silencers
Three day shipping is offered for the program's custom length cylinders and actuators, combination air preparation units, and valve manifolds.
Orders must be received by 12 p.m. Eastern and next day delivery is available. Festo guarantees "on time or it's shipped free" reimbursement of shipping charges for qualified FAST program orders. Guarantee details can be found in the FAST catalog and on the FAST webpage.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
