Electric motion sizing tool webinar

11 October 2021

This live 45-minute webinar on Thursday 18 November at 10am will show you how to select the optimal servo or stepper drives for your rotary and linear applications together with perfectly matched electro-mechanical parts.

The new Electric Motion Sizing tool from Festo quickly calculates the most cost-effective solution based on your performance requirements by using a small number of application parameters. Uniquely it is suitable for both linear applications, where motors and mechanics must be sized together, or purely rotary scenarios. Furthermore, it offers solutions that can be seamlessly connected to ProfiNet, EtherCat, or EtherNet IP networks without further work.

During the webinar, Warren Harvard, Electric Automation Product Marketing Manager at Festo, will show you how:

• To use this free tool for sizing both rotary and linear applications (with electro-mechanical systems)

• To find quick, reliable results without complex calculations such as mass moment of inertia

• You can view the performance of different options and download the detailed results

• You can choose the most cost-effective option that meets your performance requirements

• You can quickly connect to the Festo Automation Suite tool for easy commissioning 

This webinar is aimed at mechanical and controls engineers involved in sizing and selecting servo and stepper motors and associated mechanics.

Festo’s electrical automation expert

Warren Harvard has more than 20 years of experience in industrial automation, having worked in the automotive industry and subsequently joined Festo as a systems engineer in South Africa. He progressed rapidly through the organisation to become National Sales Manager whilst retaining a keen interest in industrial electronics. He is now applying his broad knowledge of motion control applications as Festo UK’s Product Marketing Manager for Electric Automation.

Watch the short two-minute video for an overview of this exciting new tool!

The sizing and simulation tool supports you in finding the right electric or electro-mechanical servo drive for your application. The calculation is based on a few parameters, such as mass, stroke/travel distance, and cycle time. The tool will quickly show you which solution of servo drive controller and motor or servo drive controller, motor and mechanics meets your requirements most economically.
