Innovation lies at the core of electric automation's journey.
In today's fast-paced industrial landscape, businesses are continuously seeking innovative solutions that seamlessly blend efficiency, precision, and connectivity. Electric automation has emerged as a game-changer, transforming traditional manufacturing processes into highly sophisticated and intelligent systems. Festo is a leading industry player known for their state-of-the-art Automation Platform that perfectly encapsulates the essence of this ground-breaking technology.
Central to any automation's success are the dynamic actuators – whether linear or rotary. These powerful components bring forth the perfect solution to any movement tasks. Simplified Motion Series from Festo epitomises the convergence of the simplicity of pneumatics and the advantages of electric automation. These integrated drive solutions offer a seamless and straightforward approach to automation. Simplified Motion Series can execute simple movement tasks without the intricacies of commissioning often associated with traditional electric drives. This innovation empowers businesses with enhanced efficiency, reduced setup time, and increased productivity.
For any drive to function at high speed and with precision should be coupled with Servo Motors or Stepper Motors. Festo offers a wide range of servo motors and drives, irrespective of your electromechanical system and the control environment they are designed to be seamlessly integrated into the system. Servo drives can be seamlessly integrated into Ethernet-based system environments and controller-specific function blocks are available to download. A major advantage is simple and error-free commissioning in just a few minutes and in just a few steps with the Festo Automation Suite.
A hallmark of electric automation is its scalability and decentralisation, Festo’s decentralised remote I/Os offer you an efficient, open, and expandable remote I/O system. You can integrate powerful I/O modules, existing valve terminals and many IO-Link devices and electric drives straight into the major host systems. And, based on the innovative AP system communication, the remote I/O system offers seamless communication from the workpiece to the cloud. The remote I/O system CPX-AP-I is designed for use in applications with limited spaces, handling and tool changing systems, and in moving applications where low weight and compact installation space are important,and in fast manufacturing processes with real-time communication.
With the perfect combination of all the mechanical systems and the electrical hardware, commissioning the solution is a huge task, which involves parametrisation of the servo drives, the I/O modules, etc. Festo Automation Suite helps in parameterising, programming, and maintaining the complete drive system from mechanical components to the controller in a few clicks – and all in one single package.
