The ability to respond quickly and efficiently to rapidly changing customer demands is a key consideration in factory and process automation applications. Designed with this in mind, the new CPX-E modular control system from Festo delivers flexible, compact control coupled with high levels of compatibility to help engineers and machine builders deliver Industry 4.0-ready automation environments.
The CPX-E control system is focused primarily on motion control functions for handling technology and offers a standardised, integrated platform for the consistent combination of servo technology and stepper motor technology. Representing a radical move into EtherCAT master controls for Festo, the CPX-E combines high quality and competitive pricing with a compact size that makes it ideal for incorporation in panels where space is at a premium. Scalable motion functions include simple movements, multi-axis movements, contour applications and robotics.
