Industrial Applications

1. Automotive Paint Shop Multi-Axis Spraying Gantry

Integrating Festo CMMS-ST motor controllers into an automotive paint shop requires secure electrical connections [1.8]. The NEKM-C6-C16-S plug assortment is utilized to securely wire the motor controllers to the stepper and servo drives governing the multi-axis spraying gantry from inside the facility's control cabinet.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the risk of paint defects, such as fisheyes, caused by silicone off-gassing because the plug assortment strictly meets VDMA24364-B2-L PWIS (paint-wetting impairment substances) conformity standards. Housed in a completely dry control cabinet, its CRC 0 (No corrosion stress) rating allows for cost-effective deployment without over-engineering.
