Machine builders no longer need to choose between a stepper or servo drive, thanks to the CMMT-ST from Festo. This new extra low-voltage servo drive is capable of open- or closed-loop positioning, which effectively bridges the gap between stepper and servo drives. This means the user can tailor the CMMT-ST to suit the needs of the application and reap the benefits of both control formats.

Improving sustainability using controlled proportional pneumatics
Rising energy prices are pushing up the cost of process gases. This not only applies to compressed air, but also to inert gases, oxygen, and exotic gases. These gases are used for many everyday applications, such as food packaging and tyre inflation, as well as highly precise and technical applications in semiconductor production and scientific research.

Seamless connectivity as a guiding principle
Festo believes a true automation company should offer their customers seamless connectivity from the workpiece to the cloud, across the whole portfolio and independent of technology. Of course, no company can offer the entire needs of a machine builder, but what is offered should seamlessly fit together, mechanically, electrically, and intelligently.
