Gantry axes

The individual designs

Thanks to their design with a

slide unit, gantry axes permit

movement between the two

ends of the axis, i.e. directly

inside the working space.

Various drive concepts Depending on the requirements,

it is best to use a toothed belt

drive for good acceleration, high

speeds and long strokes,

whereas a spindle drive should

be used for high feed forces and

precise positioning. The recircu-

lating ball bearing guide allows

high loads on slide units and

guides with transverse forces,

even when in motion.

Toothed belt and spindle axis EGC/EGC-HD

Comprehensive range with

numerous variants, e.g. for high

dynamic response and speed,

heavy loads and high torque. All

in all, it is the new range of axes

from the mechatronic multi-axis

modular system which is

suitable for stand-alone as well

as complete system solutions.

In profileThe generously sized profiles of

the EGC with their optimised

cross-sections provide the drives

with maximum rigidity and load

capacity. Their speed, accelera-

tion and torque resistance are

setting new standards. Even new

EGC-HD with heavy-duty guide

offers extremely high loads and

torque resistance as well as high

speeds and acceleration. An

additional advantage is the high

performance of the axes, which

often makes it possible to

choose a smaller design,

especially in the case of spindle

axes!

Toothed belt axis EGC-(HD)-TBDynamic drive for high speeds

together with heavy loads and

long strokes.

Spindle axis EGC-(HD)-BSPrecision drive for accurate and

smooth running together with

high loads and long strokes.

Guide axis EGC-FADriveless linear guide unit for

supporting forces and torques in

multi-axis applications.

Slides and cantilever axes

12

The design of the slide units and

cantilever axes permits motion

in and out of the working space.

A range of drive concepts Different drives are used for

different applications:

spindle drive for precision and

payload, toothed belt drive for

dynamic response and long

strokes.

Electromechanical slide EGSL

The EGSL is ideally designed for

outstanding performance when

it comes to precision, high load

capacity and dynamic response,

even in compact spaces. This

makes it a favourite for economi-

cal positioning where strokes of

up to 300 mm are sufficient. Its

strengths are shown to good

advantage, especially in vertical

applications and short-stroke

slide functions with variable

positioning such as highly

accurate pushing, picking and

insertion with linearity and

parallelism in the 1/100 mm

ranger – even with high

mechanical loads!

Motor mounting variantsGreater flexibility thanks to

different motor mounting

options: lateral or axial. With

axial mounting, the motor can

be rotated 4 x 90° and is thus

ideally adaptable to the installa-

tion conditions. A further

advantage: the open motor

interface for in-house standards.

Benefits• Precise and unrestricted

positioning with a repetition

accuracy of max. ±0.02 mm

• Perfect for vertical applica-

tions such as press-fitting or

joining

• Protected against contamina-

tion and small parts in the

guide area because the

spindle is fully closed;

additional guide cover is

optional

• Simple, low-cost sensing with

integrated sensor slots on the

right and left

• Matching software tools for

design (PositioningDrives),

configuration, commissioning

and more with the Festo

Configuration Tool (FCT)

Improved oscillation character-istics: Ω-drive design featureThe cantilever axis is driven by a

pinion fixed in the slide. It works

its way along a stationary, finite

toothed belt in an “omega-like”

fashion. The particularly flat

design of the drive head

considerably improves

oscillation characteristics.

For long strokes, high

acceleration and speed with

simultaneously good repetition

accuracy: the DGEA cantilever

axis with roller bearing guide

and toothed belt drive. Perfect

for handling systems and

wherever large loads need to be

moved over long strokes. The

DGEA’s excellent dynamic

response results from reduced

moving mass: the motor, gear

unit and drive head are securely

mounted, so only the main

profile is moved with the load.

Benefits• Good repetition accuracy of

±50 µm

• Payloads of up to 20 kg with a

maximum vertical stroke of

1000 mm

• Protection against dirt: roller

bearing guide integrated in the

to-install system including linear

motor, air bearing and displace-

ment encoder, the slide hovers

over the axis in a contactless,

friction-free fashion and ensures

non-wearing operation with

minimal maintenance and a long

service life.

Additional features• Dirt-repellent: the air bearing

prevents non-adhesive

materials from getting into

Linear motor cylinder with piston rod DNCE-LAS

Optimised for small loads and

high dynamic response: the

electric linear motor cylinder

DNCE-LAS.

It’s specialised in pusher

applications or when small loads

need to be positioned in the

shortest possible time, e.g.

40 ms for a 15 mm stroke. All of

the necessary components such

as linear motor, displacement

encoder, guide and reference

switch are combined to create a

ready-to-use axis; however, if a

guide is needed for piston rod

motion, an external solution is

required.

Benefits• Minimal travel speeds of

2 mm/s – without stick-slip

effect!

• Simplifies ordering, storage

and assembly: any existing

accessories can still be used

because all of the mechanical

interfaces, except for the long

side, are compatible with the

DNC pneumatic cylinder

series.

Guided linear motor cylinder DFME-LAS

The electric linear motor cylinder

DFME-LAS optimally handles

high dynamic response with

small loads, not least because

the piston rod guide is

integrated into the cylinder. This

allows it to position small loads

in the shortest possible time, for

example in packaging systems,

small parts assembly or

separating tasks. All required

components such as the linear

motor, displacement encoder,

guide and reference switch are

combined to create a ready-to-

use guide axis.

Benefits• Minimal travel speeds of

3 mm/s – without stick-slip

effect!

• All the mechanical interfaces

are compatible with the

pneumatic cylinder series

DFM. Perfect for use with

existing accessories.

• Optional: pneumatic clamping

cartridge as holding brake

What both have in common: technology that makes work easy.

• Long service life and virtually

maintenance-free operation:

internal plain bearing guide

with integrated grease reserve

keeps maintenance costs and

downtime to a minimum.

• Can be configured and

commissioned using the Festo

Configuration Tool FCT. Just

enter the parameters and

positioning records and you’re

ready to go!

• A complete solution from a

single source: mechanical

components, linear motor,

displacement encoder and

motor controller, including

software tools for configura-

tion and commissioning.

Motors and controllers

The controller and motor

portfolio from Festo covers a

broad spectrum of servo and

stepper motor functions and is

optimally suited to all electric

drives.

Servo motor controllers CMMP-AS/CMMS-AS/CMMD-AS and servo motor EMMS/E-AS

The highly functional controller

CMMP-AS is best suited for cam

control and highly dynamic

motion.

The CMMS-AS shows its

strengths in standard

applications and positioning

tasks with I/O connection.

The double controller CMMD-AS

takes on the task of running two

servo motors independently of

each other. Combining the

internal components

significantly improves economic

efficiency.

They all feature safe and

convenient commissioning, SD

card slot, programming and

parameterisation using software

tools.

Servo motor EMMS/E-ASServo motors for 3 types of

controllers. As a permanently

energised, brushless servomotor

with eight torque ranges, this

motor is designed for dynamic

positioning tasks.

Stepper motor controller CMMS-ST and stepper motor EMMS-ST

Stepper motor technology in a

genuine Festo plug & work

solution package: the single axis

position controller CMMS-ST

combined with the stepper

motor for single and multi-axis

handling applications with

moving loads of up to 20 kg.

The combination of CMMS-ST

and EMMS-ST with encoder

provides you with a fully fledged

closed-loop servo system with

maximum operating reliability

and fast dynamic response. This

sets the stepper motor controller

CMMS-ST apart from

conventional controllers.

Intelligent servo motor

Single-field controllers

Servo motor MTR-DCI

This servo motor with its broad

torque range is ideally suited for

positioning tasks. It combines all

necessary components in one:

motor, gear unit, motor

controller and power electronics.

An impressive feature of the

MTR-DCI is its minimal wiring

thanks to the integration of the

controller – only one voltage

source and one fieldbus

connection or multi-pin plug are

required. Thanks to an optional

LCD screen and clearly

structured menus, the entire

commissioning process is

completed on-site, or from a PC

using a simple teach-in function

with the help of FCT software

(Festo Configuration Tool).

Functions• Compact design with

integrated display

• The smooth profile prevents

the ingress of dirt

• Closed-loop operation

• Thanks to IP54 protection, the

SFC can be mounted close to

the drive

• Only one cable required

• The motor controller SFC is

available with or without

control panel

are very easy to configure and

commission using FCT

software for parameterisation

and commissioning.

Functional safety

19

The EC Machinery Directive

2006/42/EC permits numerous

safety functions as protective

measures for sufficient risk

reduction in accordance with the

standards DIN EN 61800-5-2 and

EN 60204-1. Implementing these

safety functions in a practical

manner requires different

components that can be easily

integrated into an overall

concept.

Safety system CMGA

Reliably monitors command

input devices, safety sensors,

safety switches, encoders and

measuring systems and

processes their input signals

in order to guarantee the safe

status of a handling unit by

using suitable safety-oriented

responses. There are numerous

pre-programmed application

programs for simple configura-

tion. In-house programming is

possible if required.

Motor controller CMM…

The safety function STO is

integrated as standard into all

motor controllers in the CMM...

range. This ensures easy

implementation of emergency

stop requirements with safe stop

SS1 up to category 3, PLd.

For stricter requirements, the

series CMMP-AS- _ -M...

provides optional safety

modules for safety functions

up to category 4, PLe.

Intelligent solutions for monitoring linear axes

The slide position cannot be

monitored directly by the

encoder in the motor for safety

critical applications since if there

is a fault in the motor encoder, a

secondary system is required to

determine if the axis slide is

moving. However, with an

external linear displacement

encoder mounted directly on the

drive the axis slide position can

be monitored and the

information fed back to a safety

system, for safety functions up

to category 4, PLe.

Solution examplesHow do I implement safety

functions with electric drive

technology components?

Festo provides solution

examples. Descriptions, bills of

materials, circuit diagrams,

application programs and Sis-

tema projects allow fast

integration into your safety

concept – with the appropriate

documentation.

Software tool for configuring axis systems

PositioningDrives

PositioningDrives prevents

design errors and improves

energy efficiency by helping you

to choose the right components.

Designing drive mechanisms,

gear units and motors separately

can increase safety factors and

result in oversized electric drive

systems.

Toothed belt, spindle or direct

drives, servo motors, stepper

motors or DC motors, ball

bearing or plain-bearing guides

– the plethora of options to

choose from presents the user

with a major challenge:

calculating the correct drive

package.

Once a few application details

have been entered, the

P ositioningDrives software

calculates various combinations

from the extensive, harmonised

range of electric linear axes,

motors, gear units, controllers

and software. The ideal drive

package for the respective

requirements can then be

selected from the list of results.

Application parameters such as mounting position, load,

stroke and precision need to be

entered. There is also an option

to limit the travel time. A

preselection of drive and motor

technology, as well as guide

variants, limits the number of

variations and quickly leads to

a list of results.

The required solution package Different sorting options are

provided for ease of selection.

The combination of axis, motor/

gear unit and controller is

displayed graphically, and the

degree of utilisation is shown as

a bar graph. One click on the

component illustration opens

the respective documentation in

the selected language.

Detailed resultsThe program then provides

detailed information such as the

motion profile, dynamic load

data, product characteristics

and a bill of materials. Complete

project documentation and data

back-up round out the scope of

functions of PositioningDrives.

More intelligent automationFesto consistently focuses on

continuous analysis and

identification of potential.

This has resulted in a

combination of the new software

platform FHPP with the tried and

tested FCT Festo configuration

tool. It ensures uniform

operation and ideal interface

management of all motor

controllers, from the fieldbus up

to the drive system.

FCT software – Festo Configura-tion Tool for commissioning

FHPP – Festo Handling and Positioning Profile

Festo has developed an

optimised data profile, the

“Festo Handling and Positioning

Profile” (FHPP), which is

specifically tailored to handling

and positioning applications.

The FHPP data profile permits

the activation of Festo motor

controllers with fieldbus

interface via standardised

control and status bytes.
