La nueva familia de ejes ELGD de Festo se caracteriza por su innovadora tecnología de guiado, su elevada rigidez y su capacidad de carga de guiado para obtener más carga en el mismo espacio de instalación. Además, los potentes elementos de accionamiento ofrecen elevadas fuerzas de avance y aceleraciones para tiempos de ciclo más cortos y una larga vida útil. Una banda de cubierta de acero inoxidable está libre de fricción en el exterior y no permite que se formen partículas en ella. Esto hace que los accionamientos de la familia de ejes sean...

Industrial automation specialist Festo proudly introduces the CMMT-AS-MP-S3 servo drive, a new product designed to simplify the implementation of high-level extended safety in automated machinery. Building on the trusted technology in the Festo CMMT-AS servo drive range, the CMMT-AS-S3 addresses the needs of modern engineering by combining motion control and extended safety functionality in a single, compact unit. The new servo drive is particularly suited to demanding functional safety applications in assembly and handling technology,...

Innovation in stepper motor technology means the gap between stepper and servo technology is narrowing. In applications where the performance of a servo motor is not required because there are no highly dynamic loads or high speed demands, the stepper (with its choice of battery-less encoders and motor brakes) offers closed loop positioning.

Electric automation can deliver enhanced efficiency, consistency and precision over traditional pneumatics in many industrial automation applications. However, simple oversights during design and specification can cause serious problems, turning your electric automation dream into the ‘axis of all evil’, according to industrial automation specialist Festo.
