The benefits of the new servo drives CMMT-AS and servo motors EMMT-AS are numerous: maximum connectivity of the hardware and software, great efficiency, clever engineering and easy operation. Dynamic motion and precise positioning, whether for point to point or interpolation, are additional plus points. Last but not least, the complete system is extremely quick and easy to commission.

Joining and press-fitting are key processes in the production of goods, and an important area in factory automation. That is why we are now also offering self-contained systems in this field. We have many years of experience as a partner in the design and production of handling systems and drive solutions as well as expertise in processes. This enables us to offer exactly the right solution for your joining and press-fitting application

The EMCA is the perfect complete solution for positioning drives or
for format changes. The integrated drive comprises a maintenanceand
wear-free EC motor as well as power electronics and open- and
closed-loop control electronics. It can be installed directly in the
system thanks to the optional high protection to IP65 for the housing
and connection technology.

This whitepaper includes information on:

• How pneumatic guided drives and slides work

• Pneumatic or electric? Where pneumatic excels

• Guided drive or slide? Which to choose

• Customization possibilities: bearings, cushioning and more

• Models for special situations

• Sizing the drive or slide for your application

The new DFST with cushioning is ideal wherever objects on transfer

or conveyor systems in the automotive industry, small parts

assembly, the wood or electronics industry have to be stopped,

separated or synchronised. The many versions effortlessly

handle heavy and sensitive workpieces, pallets, etc. – and at a

reasonable price.

Put your trust in a partner who has been setting technological standards for decades. Whether in pneumatic or electric automation. And don't expect anything less than a complete package, from mechanical systems to integrated motion control solutions and subsystems.

With this issue of Highlights 2019, you are holding a kind of compass

in your hand. It will show you where the path with Festo might take

you this year.

You will see the first results in our core product range. Numerous new

components like the mini slide DGST or the compact cylinder ADN-S

are useful additions to the portfolio.

A central theme for us is connectivity at all possible levels:

mechanical, electrical and software.

• Pneumatic drives
• Servopneumatic positioning systems
• Electromechanical drives
• Motors and controllers
• Grippers
• Handling systems
• Vacuum technology
• Valves
• Valve terminals
• Sensors
• Image processing systems
• Compressed air preparation
• Pneumatic connection technology
• Electrical connection technology
• Control technology and software
• Other pneumatic devices
• Ready-to-install solutions
• Services

The PC-based Festo Automation Suite software combines the parameterisation, programming and maintenance of Festo components in one program. It enables the entire drive package, from the mechanical system to the controller, to be commissioned. Perfect for making industrial automation simple, efficient and seamless.

Automation solutions for the automotive

and Tier 1 supplier industry

Automation components for use in the food and beverage industry

Many of Festo’s products are inherently free of copper. For example guides are made essentially of polymer. In order to be able to offer customers who manufacture lithium-ion batteries as many components as possible from our product range, we have optimised products specifically for use in this field – and we have replaced parts that contain copper with copper-free elements.
