6 Gantry axes Thanks to their design with a slide unit, gantry axes permit movement between the two ends of the axis, i.e. directly inside the working space. Various drive concepts Depending on the requirements, it is best to use a toothed belt drive for good acceleration, high speeds and long strokes, whereas a spindle drive should be used for high feed forces and precise positioning. The recirculating ball bearing guide allows high loads on slide units and guides with transverse forces, even when in motion. Toothed belt and spindle axis EGC/EGC-HD Comprehensive range with numerous variants, e.g. for high dynamic response and speed, heavy loads and high torque. All in all, it is the new range of axes from the mechatronic multi-axis modular system which is suitable for stand-alone as well as complete system solutions. In profile The generously sized profiles of the EGC with their optimised cross-sections provide the drives with maximum rigidity and load capacity. Their speed, acceleration and torque resistance are setting new standards. Even new EGC-HD with heavy-duty guide offers extremely high loads and torque resistance as well as high speeds and acceleration. An additional advantage is the high performance of the axes, which often makes it possible to choose a smaller design, especially in the case of spindle axes! The individual designs Toothed belt axis EGC-(HD)-TB Dynamic drive for high speeds together with heavy loads and long strokes. Spindle axis EGC-(HD)-BS Precision drive for accurate and smooth running together with high loads and long strokes. Guide axis EGC-FA Driveless linear guide unit for supporting forces and torques in multi-axis applications. 6

12 Slides and cantilever axes The design of the slide units and cantilever axes permits motion in and out of the working space. A range of drive concepts Different drives are used for different applications: spindle drive for precision and payload, toothed belt drive for dynamic response and long strokes. Lateral motor mounting Axial motor mounting Electromechanical slide EGSL The EGSL is ideally designed for outstanding performance when it comes to precision, high load capacity and dynamic response, even in compact spaces. This makes it a favourite for economical positioning where strokes of up to 300 mm are sufficient. Its strengths are shown to good advantage, especially in vertical applications and short-stroke slide functions with variable positioning such as highly accurate pushing, picking and insertion with linearity and parallelism in the 1/100 mm ranger even with high mechanical loads! Motor mounting variants Greater flexibility thanks to different motor mounting options: lateral or axial. With axial mounting, the motor can be rotated 4 x 90 and is thus ideally adaptable to the installation conditions. A further advantage: the open motor interface for in-house standards. Benefits Precise and unrestricted positioning with a repetition accuracy of max. ±0.02 mm Perfect for vertical applications such as press-fitting or joining Protected against contamination and small parts in the guide area because the spindle is fully closed; additional guide cover is optional Simple, low-cost sensing with integrated sensor slots on the right and left Matching software tools for design (PositioningDrives), configuration, commissioning and more with the Festo Configuration Tool (FCT) software package Size Working stroke [mm] , , 200, , 200, 300 Max. speed [m/s] Feed force Fx [N] Torque Mx [Nm] My [Nm] Mz [Nm] Repetition accuracy [mm] ± ± ± ± Max. payload, hor./vert.

19 Functional safety The EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC permits numerous safety functions as protective measures for sufficient risk reduction in accordance with the standards DIN EN and EN Implementing these safety functions in a practical manner requires different components that can be easily integrated into an overall concept. Safety system CMGA Reliably monitors command input devices, safety sensors, safety switches, encoders and measuring systems and processes their input signals in order to guarantee the safe status of a handling unit by using suitable safety-oriented responses. There are numerous pre-programmed application programs for simple configuration. In-house programming is possible if required. Motor controller CMM The safety function STO is integrated as standard into all motor controllers in the CMM... range. This ensures easy implementation of emergency stop requirements with safe stop SS1 up to category 3, PLd. For stricter requirements, the series CMMP-AS- _ -M... provides optional safety modules for safety functions up to category 4, PLe. Intelligent solutions for monitoring linear axes The slide position cannot be monitored directly by the encoder in the motor for safety critical applications since if there is a fault in the motor encoder, a secondary system is required to determine if the axis slide is moving. However, with an external linear displacement encoder mounted directly on the drive the axis slide position can be monitored and the information fed back to a safety system, for safety functions up to category 4, PLe. v 0 v s 0 SLS SDI t t SS1 STO v s 0 t v 0 STO t Solution examples How do I implement safety functions with electric drive technology components? Festo provides solution examples. Descriptions, bills of materials, circuit diagrams, application programs and Sistema projects allow fast integration into your safety concept with the appropriate documentation. 19

20 Software tool for configuring axis systems PositioningDrives PositioningDrives prevents design errors and improves energy efficiency by helping you to choose the right components. Designing drive mechanisms, gear units and motors separately can increase safety factors and result in oversized electric drive systems. Toothed belt, spindle or direct drives, servo motors, stepper motors or DC motors, ball bearing or plain-bearing guides the plethora of options to choose from presents the user with a major challenge: calculating the correct drive package. Application parameters such as mounting position, load, stroke and precision need to be entered. There is also an option to limit the travel time. A preselection of drive and motor technology, as well as guide variants, limits the number of variations and quickly leads to a list of results. The required solution package Different sorting options are provided for ease of selection. The combination of axis, motor/ gear unit and controller is displayed graphically, and the degree of utilisation is shown as a bar graph. One click on the component illustration opens the respective documentation in the selected language. Once a few application details have been entered, the PositioningDrives software calculates various combinations from the extensive, harmonised range of electric linear axes, motors, gear units, controllers and software. The ideal drive package for the respective requirements can then be selected from the list of results. Detailed results The program then provides detailed information such as the motion profile, dynamic load data, product characteristics and a bill of materials. Complete project documentation and data back-up round out the scope of functions of PositioningDrives. 20
