Festo to show cost-saving products at IWEX 2009
Festo will be at IWEX 2009 to demonstrate how its latest modular controllers and actuators enable system designers to use a task-optimised blend of electrical and pneumatic technologies for process control, thereby providing opportunities for minimising cost and maintenance overheads.
Festo is continuously expanding its range of products for the process industry and will be showing a raft of innovations at IWEX 2009. The latest additions to the company's renowned CPX series of multifunctional electrical terminals will be on show, including a new EtherCat real-time Ethernet communications module, a new series of digital and analogue I/O modules, and a new intelligent control module, known as the CPX-CMXX, which provides a PLC-compatible interface for multi-axis control.
Festo will also be launching a new quarter-turn pneumatic actuator at IWEX 2009. Developed at the specific request of customers in the water industry, the actuator uses rack and pinion drive technology and incorporates a number of unique features, including adjustable end positions - which makes it suitable for use with butterfly valves.
