Electric Automation

Electric drives are an important component in factory automation. They are often used in applications that require high flexibility and precise positioning. Electric drive technology is therefore especially suitable for free, flexible and precise positioning as well as for travel distances that are longer than 1,000 mm, with high speeds and short cycle times. Electric drives also consume less energy during movement than pneumatic drives, for example, and operate jerk-free.

Motors are used in all types of applications and in a wide variety of industries. But what are servo drives used for? Servo drives control the operating modes of a motor. Together with the motor, they form the interface between the mechanics and the controller; they can therefore be called the heart of any motion control system. It is their task to tell the motor what it is supposed to do, how often and at what speed according to the required production result. In industry, safety, precision and reliability of the drive system are of the highest priority. You will find a large selection of motors and servo drives for a wide range of requirements.

Cartesian robots from Festo are ready-to-install industrial robots for multidimensional movements that are based on Festo linear and sliding drives or parallel kinematics. Matching stepper and servo motors, servo drives and an integrated energy supply concept provide a reliable, ready-to-install solution. Supported by innovative software solutions for engineering and configuration, the handling systems can be designed online and put into operation efficiently in just a few minutes based on your application data.

Create more flexibility with the I/O system and motion control solutions from Festo; they can be directly integrated into higher-level control concepts or be used as a flexible and modular solution for comprehensive automation concepts.
