Digital simplicity: World first Festo Motion Terminal VTEM – Subject to change – 2017/11
Areas of application for the Festo Motion Terminal
Always ready to go:
the successful, tried-and-tested
electric automation platform
CPX. With CPX, you can integrate
the fieldbus or Industrial
Ethernet nodes you need, plus
1. Pre-positioning, gripping with
controlled vacuum and setting
down with ejector pulse
Motion Apps: Proportional
pressure regulation. Available
in 2018: Motion profile and
positioning. The different formats
required for this task often
involve adjustments and,
depending on the solution used,
several components. The
gripping vacuum and ejector
pulse need to be regulated and
checked individually for every
format change-over.
additional I/O modules, subordi-
nate installation systems such
as CTEL, or CODESYS controllers
with an OPC UA interface. The
two automation platforms are
the perfect partners.
The advantages in detail:
• 7 fewer components
• 75% less installation space
• Identical costs with significant
process improvements
• Faster format change-over
(−20 minutes per change-over),
plus always the same settings
• In the future, gripper formats/
reduced cycle times can be
easily expanded
