Festo Introduces the DDLI Pneumatic Actuator

Melissa Larson | December 1, 2014

The new DDLI servo-pneumatic actuator from Festo delivers precise dynamic movement of large loads – up to 180kg horizontally and 60 kg vertically – and cycle times up to 30 percent faster than comparable standard pneumatic actuators.

The new DDLI servo-pneumatic actuator with integrated position feedback offers OEMs fast, controlled positioning and the capability to regulate feed forces on the fly. The DDLI is ideal for positioning a diverter on a conveyor, opening and closing large machine doors, clamping, and when used with the Festo CPX-CMAX servo-pneumatic controller, the DDLI can be operated like an electric servo drive to perform position and force tasks. Use the integrated record set table to predefine position and force tasks in the CMAX controller. Or send position and force directly from the PLC to the CMAX controller and modify movements on the fly.
