Festo’s range of servo drives includes the CMMT-ST. Complementing the existing CMMT-AS, the CMMT-ST servo drive is equally dependable but much more compact and economical. These characteristics are designed to make it ideal for point-to-point and interpolating motion in applications in assembly and handling technology, packaging machines, or in the electronics industry. The CMMT-ST is designed to enable challenging dynamic motions for small servo motors and all stepper motors with a continuous power requirement of up to 300 W. It has a power capacity of 2.5 kW, so requires less cooling than its big brother and needs just half the installation space. It is suitable for various Ethernet-based bus systems and can be seamlessly integrated into the controller environments of different manufacturers. The CMMT-ST works best in combination with the EMMS-ST stepper motor from Festo. Commissioning the CMMT-ST is designed to take just minutes with the Festo Automation Suite. Although the CMMT-ST offers a more compact, lower cost option than the CMMT-AS, the connection and communication concept, functional modules and standard safety features remain unchanged. The consistent control concept means users can combine the CMMT-AS and CMMT-ST as a servo drive for both large and small axes.
