Festo can do it with anyone
CMMT servo drives for efficient connectivity in machines
Connectivity at all levels to make machines even more efficient. Festo makes this possible with an automation platform that consists of various high-quality electrical components. The CMMT servo drives are easy to integrate due to their brand-independent connectivity with PLC, motor and mechanics. This makes CMMT ideally suited for advanced and challenging positioning applications.
The chain is as strong as the weakest link. For an electric drive it is therefore important that all components perform at their best but also that they are optimally coordinated with each other. For this reason, Festo has developed a complete range of proven electrical components that are optimally matched to each other.
Festo has two types of servo drives in its portfolio:
- CMMT-AS (230VAC/400VAC)
- CMMT-ST (24VDC/48VDC)
These two 'brothers' differ from each other in power, dimensions and price.
CMMT-AS
The compact servo drive CMMT-AS is an integral part of the automation platform from Festo. It is suitable for highly dynamic point-to-point and interpolating movements. With the Festo Automation Suite, the CMMT-AS can be put into operation in just a few minutes. The servo drive is available for communication with the most important Ethernet-based fieldbuses and can be integrated without problems into the PLC environments of various manufacturers. The software modules required for that PLC to integrate the CMMT into the application programme are also available.
CMMT-ST
The extra-low voltage servo drive CMMT-ST is even more compact and economical than its big brother CMMT-AS. It is specially suitable for less dynamic applications with powers up to 300W, where both point-to-point movements and interpolation are possible. The CMMT-ST can also be connected to a Profinet, EtherCat, EthernetIP and Modbus network. It is also identical to the larger CMMT-AS series in terms of control, using the same software modules. This makes it particularly easy to combine the CMMT-AS and the CMMT-ST drives in one installation.
The new servo drives CMMT-AS and CMMT-ST can be easily integrated into your machine environment. They communicate without problems with Festo's CPX-E PLCs, as well as with PLCs from other major manufacturers.
Highlights
- These compact servo drives take up little space in the control cabinet
- All connections are easily accessible
- CMMT-AS can be powered in series
- Integrated EMC filters
- Efficient cooling (the drives can stand against each other)
- Combine extra low voltage and low voltage drives for a cost and space effective solution

Siemens - SINAMICS G220 variable speed drive now also in IP55Read moreIn addition to the previously released IP20 variant of the SINAMICS G220 variable speed drive, the IP55 version of this innovative drive is now also available. This version comes standard with coated circuit boards that make the inverter resistant even outside the control cabinet to aggressive influences in a harsh industrial environment. As an option, a housing-mounted isolating switch can also be supplied to ensure safe disconnection of voltage without any other external components.

Dymotec - Open Lines in a ‘Perfect Storm’Read moreCOVID-19 and global component scarcity threw the industry into a ‘perfect storm’. Industrial automator Dymotec and Breemes kept the phone lines constantly open to tackle the scarcity problem together with creativity and proactivity. Dymotec in Olen (B) focuses on industrial automation spanning a broad spectrum of industries, from food and pharma to logistics and metal. The company has been around for 30 years and joined the Jeco Energies Group in 2022. Dymotec now has some 50 employees and also has a flexible shell with technicians, programmers and project engineers. Ever since its establishment, the company from Kempen has had a relationship with (the predecessors of) Breemes.

Stimac - Good technical support for ever-changing specificationsRead moreIf the description for an automation project is clear from the start, it is easy for the industrial automation specialist to give it substance. In practice, however, specifications often change during the course of a project. This happened to Stimac/SNK when designing the control technology for a horticultural machine. For the problems that arose during the process, itsme quickly provided Stimac/SNK with a solution. “When a customer calls us, we respond immediately. So it’s nice to have a supplier like itsme who can also help immediately.”
