Une technologie de guidage innovante, une rigidité et une capacité de charge de guidage élevées pour une charge plus importante dans le même espace de montage - telles sont les caractéristiques de la nouvelle famille d'axes ELGD de Festo. De plus, des éléments d'entraînement puissants offrent des forces d'avance et des accélérations élevées pour des temps de cycle plus courts et une longue durée de vie. Une bande de recouvrement en acier inoxydable est sans frottement sur la face extérieure et n'y laisse pas apparaître de particules. Les...

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.
