Axis controllers are controllers designed to manage complex movements in industrial plants. Festo has three servo-pneumatic axis controllers in its product range.
The position and force control of Festo axis controller CPX-CMAX-C1-1 is carried out either directly or from one of the 128 configurable positioning records. Simple function sequences are uncomplicated to realise thanks to the configurable record sequencing. The auto-identification of the controller recognises each user with their respective unit data, saving time and effort during commissioning. The control of a brake or clamping unit via proportional directional control valve VPWP is also part of the performance of the CPX-CMAX-C1-1. In addition, up to 8 modules (maximum 8 axes) can be operated in parallel and completely independently of each other. The commissioning itself takes place either via the Festo configuration software FCT (Festo Configuration Tool) or via fieldbus. Axis controller CPX-CMAX-C1-1 increases flexibility, is cost-effective and extremely OEM-friendly.
