Compact servo drive from Festo for
demanding positioning applications
Festo has expanded its range of servo drives with
the introduction of the CMMT-ST. Complementing
the existing CMMT-AS, this new servo drive is
equally reliable but much more compact and
economical. These characteristics make it ideal for
point-to-point and interpolating motion in
demanding applications in assembly and handling
technology, packaging machines or in the
electronics industry. The CMMT-ST enables
challenging dynamic motions for small servo motors
and all stepper motors with a continuous power
requirement of up to 300W. It has a power capacity of 2.5kW, so requires
less cooling than its big brother and needs just half the installation space.
It is particularly suitable for various Ethernet-based bus systems.

New safety light curtain from Omron
redefines safety at manufacturing sites
The new F3SG-SR Series of light curtains from Omron
provides finger, hand, arm/leg, and body protection, from
machine openings to the perimeters of equipment,
including a wide variety of applications and protective
heights ranging from 160mm to 2.48m to completely fit
the protected area required. With the F3SG-SR,
manufacturers are able to standardise mechanical design
across production lines and eliminate the complexity of
selection and design. The F3SG-SR series also ensures
reliable detection even in harsh environments.

Laser distance sensors combine
accuracy with optimal connectivity

The OM70 laser distance sensors
available from Baumer are designed to
provide reliable and precise inline
measurements, even on more ‘challenging’
and inconsistent structured surfaces and
materials. They also include the very latest connectivity options for
outstanding usability and fast analysis for quick and easy sensor
adjustment via the intuitive Baumer web interface feature. OM70 sensors
feature a thin beam shape going down to 0.05x0.05mm, optimising the
sensor’s receiving array and enabling it to fully exploit the information
content and minimise measuring impairments caused by irregularities such
as machining marks, tiny scratches or dents.
