Switching from robot systems to Cartesian handling systems
By Jörg Tertünte and Lisa Endrijaitis, Festo Marketing Concepts The trend in conventional linear and rotational applications is moving away from robots to energy-efficient and cost-optimized systems, as manufacturers often don’t require all the functions, large sizes and degrees of freedom robots provide. Although considered an industrial robot by DIN standards, Cartesian handling systems offer […]
Festo Adds a Heavy Duty Unit to its Popular EGC Line
EGC model toothed belt and ball screw electric actuators from Festo deliver high speed, response, and dynamic rigidity. The new EGC-HD (heavy duty) model builds on those capabilities and adds load-bearing capacity to its specifications – twice the load bearing of the EGC actuator. The EGC-HD electric actuator features recirculating ball bearing guides that help […]
Festo’s High-speed Cartesian H-gantry for sensitive workpieces
Festo Corporation introduces the high-speed Cartesian H-gantry designed for dynamic assembly operations in the fields of electronics, photovoltaic and small parts handling as well as other applications requiring quick and flexible positioning. This new type of 3D/planar surface gantry is 30 percent faster compared with any other conventional Cartesian handling unit. The gantry covers a […]
Festo ELGA linear drive delivers high feed force
Festo introduced the ELGA linear drive — a cost-effective electric toothed belt axis that comes with high feed forces as well as flexible motor attachments. It features an integrated plain-bearing guided belt drive that is easy to handle and fit, aside from being ideally suited for positioning lighter loads quickly, allowing machine builders to save […]
Festo’s ELGG bi-parting drive suitable for large-format gripping applications
Festo (www.festo.com) has introduced an electric bi-parting drive that offers a cost-effective and adaptable way of securing synchronized movement of two carriages — in different directions — on similar linear axis. The new ELGG bi-parting drive features a pair of bearing guides that support two similar carriages. It is driven by a toothed belt connected […]
Festo unveils new DNCE electromechanical rod actuators
Festo (www.festo.com), one of the world’s leading suppliers of pneumatic and electrical automation technology, has expanded its extensive portfolio of electromechanical actuators to include its latest electromechanical rod actuators, DNCE. A screw-driven linear actuator, the DNCE electromechanical rod actuator comes with a nonrotating round piston rod. It also serves as a drop-in alternative for the […]
ELGG bi-parting drive ensures simultaneous movement of carriages
Festo (www.festo.com) has released its latest ELGG bi-parting drive which features a pair of bearing guides that supports two similar carriages, driven by a toothed belt connected to the bottom of one carriage and the top of the other. The ELGG offers an adaptable and cost-effective means of ensuring tow carriages’ simultaneous movement — in […]
