Innovatieve geleidingstechnologie, hoge stijfheid en geleidebelastbaarheid voor meer belasting in dezelfde inbouwruimte - dat zijn de kenmerken van de nieuwe ELGD assenfamilie van Festo. Bovendien bieden krachtige aandrijfelementen hoge aanzetkrachten en versnellingen voor kortere cyclustijden en een lange levensduur. Een roestvrijstalen afdekstrip is wrijvingsvrij aan de buitenkant en laat geen deeltjes toe. Hierdoor zijn de aandrijvingen van de assenfamilie ideaal voor gebruik in cleanrooms.

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.
