SERVO MOTORS

Festo Motors and Motor Controllers

Motors have a wide range of potential applications across various industries. But why are motor controllers needed? A motor controller manages the motor’s operating modes. Together with the motor, they form the interface between the mechanical system and the controller, which is why they can be called the heart of any motion control system. Their job is to tell the motor what to do—how often and at what speed—to achieve the desired production outcome. In industry, the safety, precision, and reliability of the drive system are top priorities. We offer a wide selection of motors and motor controllers to meet a broad range of requirements. Configure your servo drive solution using the Electric Motion Sizing engineering tool, regardless of your control environment or its manufacturers. With the Festo Automation Suite, you can quickly and easily commission your drive system.

Festo products are also ideal for precise control of position, speed, and torque, or for controlling and maintaining specific positions with the highest possible accuracy.

Applications of Servo Motors

Festo servo motors are often used in sectors or industries where high precision, flexibility, and reliability are required. Examples include:

• plastics manufacturing
• textile manufacturing
• packaging equipment
• robotics
• e-mobility
• medical equipment
• metal manufacturing
• printing equipment
• conveyor systems

Thanks to their dynamics, flexibility, precision, and high performance, they are frequently used in the packaging industry and assembly technology. In plastics manufacturing and medical technology, servo motors are also used to perform precise movements with response times of just a few microseconds. Servo motors and corresponding controllers are also required for precise and automated drilling, bending, and cutting of metal in metal production and processing.

Advantages of Servo Motors and Motor Controllers

The use of servo motors and corresponding motor controllers offers many advantages in manufacturing. Servo motors can reach their full potential, especially in automation processes. The following advantages support the use of servo motors in combination with corresponding motor controllers:

Greater safety: Servo motors and motor controllers allow electric motors to be shut down simultaneously via a central control point in the event of an emergency.

Flexible stacking technology: Thanks to the flexible stacking technology for servo controllers, multiple servo motors can be easily connected for asynchronous operation. They can be integrated individually into existing systems or used to develop entirely new systems.

Maximum precision: Speed and torque can be precisely controlled and maintained based on predefined targets. Speed can also be adjusted to the target value in a fraction of a second.

Smart controllers: Automation and network connectivity are possible directly through the drive. Data can also be processed directly within the drive system itself, for example, to optimize processes.

Improved efficiency: Servo motors can be optimized to deliver high performance with minimal energy consumption. Servo motors require minimal maintenance and have a long service life.
