Integrated sensors provide status feedback (ie, whether the stop plate is extended or retracted).<\/p>\n<p>An adjustable damping module makes the device both precise and reliable during operation.<\/p>\n<p>The EFSD can therefore provide flexible damping to correspond to the mass of the transferred item, which means that one size of module in a transfer line can cope with a variety of moving masses.<\/p>\n<p>As well as reducing the need for multiple stopper modules, the adjustable damper feature also reduces maintenance in comparison to using shock absorbers.<\/p>\n<p>There are three models in the EFSD range, enabling specifiers to match the mass range depending on the speed of conveyor up to a maximum of 100kg.<\/p>\n<p>The EFSD is powered by a 24 V DC motor and has a maximum power consumption of 2A, which helps to keep energy consumption low. In addition, the energy supply can be achieved via a PLC connection, eliminating the need for a separate connector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur customers are constantly seeking to deliver the best possible automation solutions for end users: not just in terms of capital investment, but also taking into consideration operational costs and maintenance requirements which directly affects productivity,\u201d says Warren Harvard, <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/network-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Festo<\/a><\/span> product manager. \u201cAt <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/modular-control-system-from-delivers-flexible-and-responsive-automation-options\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Festo<\/a><\/span>, we\u2019re committed to offering a comprehensive range of pneumatic and electric control options that can deliver benefits for both specifiers and end users.
