of sequences in a short time, we had to
find the perfect combination of pneumat-
ics, control technology and servo tech-
nology. We managed to do this with the
help of Festo,” explains Peter Wörgartner.
Material and time saved
High-quality components from Festo make
the handling system fast and reliable.
These include the rotary indexing table
type DHTG, which feeds the parts to the
testing area. During the visual check, a
servo motor EMMS with CMMS motor
controller keeps the components moving
in front of the camera. A valve terminal
MPA-FB supplies the pneumatic actuators.
The CPX-CEC integrated on the CPX termi-
nal controls all electrical and pneumatic
processes. “Because the components
from Festo are perfectly harmonised, we
have decided to opt for a decentralised,
autonomous control solution based on
CPX both for the subsequent testing
device and the system control in the pro-
duction plant,” says Peter Wörgartner.
The new manufacturing method in combi-
nation with the subsequent check saves
valuable material and the production
speed has been significantly increased.
