CPX-CMXX Multi-Ax is Module – Motion Control with CPX
The multi-axis module CPX-CMXX is an intelligent technology module for synchronous and coordinated motion solutions based on the Festo CPX architecture. The CPX-CMXX module is ideal for applications involving multiple individual axes or simple Cartesian kinematics (gantries).

Supporting up to a total of 8 axes (2 groups of 4 axes), both individual axis movements and multi axis synchronous or coordinated motion can be controlled via CAN bus. A variety of Festo drives are supported, which makes this module an ideal choice for a range of simple handling solutions.

Features and Benefits
•Synchronous and coordinated motion of multiple axes
• Compact multi-axis motion for both stand alone and decentralized systems
• Connectivity via a variety of field buses (currently Profibus, Ethernet IP & ProfiNet. DeviceNet and other field buses will follow)
• Smoothing of edges (rounded corners) for reduced cycle times and higher throughput
• Connectivity to a variety of Festo drives offering many creative handling solutions
• Simple and quick implementation using Festo Configuration Tool – no programming required, simply configure and parameterize

MPA -L Valve Manifold – Highly Scalable Valve Manifold for Value and Performance
The MPA-L valve manifold offers a perfect mix of value and performance. It is scalable down to a single valve slice, so directional valves can be adapted to any application. This saves costs and reduces size. The sub-base is of a rugged, polymer design, which offers good corrosion resistance, and light weight. The valves are electrically connected to an internal PCB, which also provides exact coil allocation, no wasted logical connections. Many electric multi-pin connector options are available, as well as network interfaces to most common industrial and Ethernet protocols, via Festo’s CPX distributed I/O family. All standard valve functions are available, including; 5/2, 5/3, and the cost/space saving dual 3/2 types. All valves use Festo’s patented cartridge principle, which is proven to be extremely durable, and offers outstanding flow rates. There are well over 10 million valves with this technology in service to date.

The manifold is suited for most pneumatic applications, for factory and process automation. The high flow rate to size ratio makes it universal for applications from food and packaging to Semiconductor. The valve can run pressure and vacuum, with multiple zones.

Highlights:
• Up to 32 valve locations, max flow rate to 360 Nl/min Inch and Metric ports for all markets
• Full range of pneumatic functions and accessories such as pressure regulators D-sub, IDC / Ribbon cable connectors, bus networks, and Ethernet connections

Electric Actuator EGC – Toothed Belt and Ball Screw
Festo announces the addition of the Electric Actuator EGC to the family of electromechanical actuators. The EGC is designed for high dynamic speeds and high rigidity. This modular actuator can be used as an individual component adapted to third-party motors or as a complete system provided by one source - Festo.

Broad Range of Options
• Toothed belt or ball screw actuator
• Different screw pitches available
• Sizes 70, 80, 120, 185 (ball screw)
• Sizes 50, 70, 80, 120, 185 (toothed belt)

Performance Highlights

• High speeds and feed forces
• High loads and torques
• Maximum rigidity- In addition to these impressive features, the EGC offers an excellent price-performance ratio. Due to the high performance and rigidity of the EGC, a smaller size actuator can be used to save both space and costs.
