Festo Introduces a New Generation of Electric Actuators for Linear Applications


New Generation of Electric Actuators for Linear Applications:

Festo has recently introduced its newest generation of Cartesian-handling-system mechanical axes, which includes the ELGD-TB tooth belt actuators and the ELGD-BS ball screw actuators. These fresh axes are based on a novel Festo design that boosts axis performance. Festo’s all-encompassing management of the ELGD series, from its conception to its production, guarantees superior quality and a sturdy supply chain, ensuring product availability and presenting a competitive price/performance ratio. The ELGD series showcases remarkable load-bearing capacity and torsional rigidity, making it adaptable for a variety of industrial handling environments, from unclean to cleanroom conditions.

The ELGD series is suitable for a broad spectrum of handling tasks, encompassing cantilever systems, pick-and-place solutions, and top loaders. It provides short cycle times, high precision, and repeatability, making it ideal for handling small parts. Furthermore, the ELGD series augments automation in tasks such as 3D printing, additive manufacturing, dosing, and gluing, owing to its dynamic, virtually vibration-free movement, which enhances efficiency and dependability.

Optimized weighing technology by Beckhoff


EL336x | EL336x-0100:

A recent Beckhoff publication underscores the progress in weighing technology with the launch of the EL336x and EL336x-0100 terminal series. These terminals are engineered to directly link resistance bridges (strain gauges) or load cells, providing a suite of features for accurate recording of weights, strains, or torques.

The terminals boast key features such as a 24-bit resolution and a sampling rate of 10 ksps, guaranteeing high precision in measurements. They also support full bridge configurations, increasing their adaptability in a variety of applications. Furthermore, they come with built-in voltage generation from the terminal power contacts, adjustable between 5 V and 10 V, offering flexibility in powering the bridge directly.

In addition, the standard EL336x version of these terminals incorporates a combined digital input/output for each channel. This feature enables extra functionalities, like local control of the output in direct correlation to the analog value at the input, broadening the range of applications for these terminals.

In conclusion, the EL336x and EL336x-0100 series of weighing technology terminals from Beckhoff deliver high accuracy, versatility, and advanced features, making them suitable for a diverse array of weighing and measurement applications.
