Q: What is the multi-protocol CMMT-AS servo drive and what makes it different from other servo drives in the market?
A: The multi-protocol CMMT-AS servo drive is a highly flexible and adaptable drive system that supports a wide range of communication protocols, including EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP. This makes it an ideal choice for engineers who need to integrate their automation systems with different networks and protocols. Unlike other servo drives in the market, the CMMT-AS servo drive can easily switch between different communication protocols, without requiring any additional hardware or software.
Q: What benefits does the multi-protocol CMMT-AS servo drive offer to customers?
A: The multi-protocol CMMT-AS servo drive offers several benefits to our customers. Firstly, it saves time and effort in system integration, by allowing engineers to connect their automation systems seamlessly with different networks and devices. Secondly, it improves system reliability and performance by providing fast and accurate communication between different parts of the system. Thirdly, it reduces the total cost of ownership by eliminating the need for additional hardware and software for communication protocol conversion.
Q: Festo has announced the release of new sizes for the CMMT-AS servo drive. Can you tell us more about it?
A: Yes, we're thrilled to announce the release of 9kW and 12kW sizes for the CMMT-AS servo drive. This expansion in size options allows our customers even more flexibility in their applications. Whether they require smaller or larger power ratings, the CMMT-AS servo drive now caters to a wider range of automation needs.
Q: How did Festo develop the multi-protocol CMMT-AS servo drive?
A: At Festo, we are always looking for ways to improve our products and provide innovative solutions to our customers. The development of the multi-protocol CMMT-AS servo drive was driven by customer demand for a more flexible and adaptable drive.
We worked closely with our R&D team to develop a drive system that can support multiple protocols, without compromising on performance or reliability.
During the development process we went through number of significant steps: product design, prototyping, qualification and testing of ready product.
With the addition of the 9kW and 12kW sizes, we continue to respond to the evolving needs of our customers, offering them more options and capabilities to enhance their automation processes.
Q: What can customers expect from the new 9kW and 12kW sizes of the CMMT-AS servo drive?
A: Customers can expect the same level of flexibility, reliability, and performance that they've come to rely on with the CMMT-AS servo drive, now in larger power ratings. Whether they're working on precision applications or demanding industrial tasks, the new sizes provide the power and control necessary to excel in their automation projects.
Q: Where can customers find more information about the new sizes and how to purchase them?
A: Customers can visit our website or contact their local Festo representative for more information about the new 9kW and 12kW sizes of the CMMT-AS servo drive. Our team is dedicated to providing support and assistance to help customers choose the right solution for their specific needs.
This concludes our interview. Thank you, Tim Otto, for sharing insights into the CMMT-AS servo drive and its latest developments.
