The new, optimized EMMB-ST and EMMT-ST stepper motor family in conjunction with the CMMT-ST-MP servo drive controller offers users a coordinated servo system at an attractive price.

Machine builders no longer need to choose between a stepper or servo drive, thanks to the CMMT-ST from Festo. This new extra low voltage servo drive is capable of open or closed loop positioning, which effectively bridges the gap between stepper and servo drives. This means the user can tailor the CMMT-ST to suit the needs of the application and reap the benefits of both control formats.

New servo technology from Festo is helping Grolsch to put the iconic swing tops on its bottles of lager. The ‘swing-top transfer unit’ was custom-designed by Festo in conjunction with system integrator MCA Linear Motion Robotics and is installed at the Grolsch Enschede plant in The Netherlands.

Las mascarillas de protección escasean en tiempos del coronavirus... pero, ¿por qué no producirlas uno mismo? Con un sistema de Mikron, ahora prácticamente cualquiera podría hacerlo. Este sistema escalable produce entre 50 y 100 mascarillas corrientes por minuto, dependiendo del modelo. Con el apoyo de ingeniería de Festo, Mikron logró construir el sistema en solo seis semanas.
