Festo<\/a><\/strong> has expanded its range of servo drives with the introduction of the CMMT-ST.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complementing the existing CMMT-AS, this new servo drive is equally reliable but much more compact and economical. These characteristics make it ideal for point-to-point and interpolating motion in demanding applications in assembly and handling technology, packaging machines or in the electronics industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMMT-ST enables challenging dynamic motions for small servo motors and all stepper motors with a continuous power requirement of up to 300W. It has a power capacity of 2.5kW, so requires less cooling than its big brother and needs just half the installation space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is particularly suitable for various Ethernet-based bus systems and can be seamlessly integrated into the controller environments of different manufacturers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Compact
The CMMT-ST compact servo drive from Festo offers extremely economical positioning and motion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The CMMT-ST is based on the same platform as the CMMT-AS and works best in combination with the EMMS-ST stepper motor from Festo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Quick commissioning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commissioning the CMMT-ST takes just a few minutes with the Festo Automation Suite. Although the CMMT-ST offers a more compact, cheaper option than the CMMT-AS, the connection and communication concept, functional modules and standard safety features remain unchanged.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consistent control concept means that users can combine the CMMT-AS and CMMT-ST as a servo drive for both large and small axes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0The free Festo Automation Suite is the main software of the constantly expanding Festo Automation Platform, which is entering the automation market with numerous new products and solutions from the mechanical system to the cloud. It combines the parameterisation, programming and maintenance of electric components from Festo in one program. It also enables the entire drive package, from the mechanical system to the controller, to be commissioned in just a few intuitive steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Seamless connectivity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMMT-ST servo drive is an important part of the Festo philosophy of seamless connectivity: the ability to connect a workpiece completely through to the cloud, from its mechanical connections and electrical interfaces to commissioning and controller programming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Festo simplifies the work of machine builders and automation engineers with simple connectivity spanning mechanical, electrical, hardware and software interfaces.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
