Motion Control Module supports up to 8 axes.
Press Release Summary:
Designed for synchronous and coordinated motion solutions based on Festo CPX architecture, Model CPX-CMXX is suited for applications involving multiple individual axes or Cartesian kinematics. Both individual axis movements and multi-axis synchronous or coordinated motion can be controlled via CAN bus. Supporting variety of Festo drives, module offers connectivity via Profibus, Ethernet IP, and ProfiNet and is suited for range of handling solutions.
Original Press Release:
CPX-CMXX Multi-Axis Module
Motion Control with CPX
HAUPPAUGE, NY, - The multi-axis module CPX-CMXX is an intelligent technology module for synchronous and coordinated motion solutions based on the Festo CPX architecture. The CPX-CMXX module is ideal for applications involving multiple individual axes or simple Cartesian kinematics (gantries).
Supporting up to a total of 8 axes (2 groups of 4 axes), both individual axis movements and multi axis synchronous or coordinated motion can be controlled via CAN bus. A variety of Festo drives are supported, which makes this module an ideal choice for a range of simple handling solutions.
Features and Benefits
o Synchronous and coordinated motion of multiple axes
o Compact multi-axis motion for both stand alone and decentralized systems
o Connectivity via a variety of field buses (currently Profibus, Ethernet IP & ProfiNet. DeviceNet and other field buses will follow)
o Smoothing of edges (rounded corners) for reduced cycle times and higher throughput
o Connectivity to a variety of Festo drives offering many creative handling solutions
o Simple and quick implementation using Festo Configuration Tool - no programming required, simply configure and parameterize
